Dub Modal

White Lotus Season 1 Just wrapped it up. Good acting but hard to find redeemable qualities in a lot of these characters. Ultimately a waste of time. Not recommended. Won't be watching the next 2 seasons. Of course it's enormously popular so I must be missing something. Maybe people who frequent or want to frequent resorts dig it?

One of the best apps for exploring genres has to be bandcamp, so I highly recommend venturing there and tuning into R&B and it's sub genres. Seems like bandcamp is a really good vehicle for independent artists to platform their albums and their profiles. I went down the rnb rabbit hole there last year and found some good stuff. Shit that would never be heard elsewhere.

Thanks for the heads up

Check the Mack Avenue site. They have a digital anthology stream that has songs from several albums. Great idea I have to say. https://mackavenue.com/products/various-artists-strata-east-the-legacy-begins-digital-anthology

Enjoying the Hubbard more than I thought I would. This version of Breaking Point is, to me, a tad better than the one on Night of the Cookers; slower, more space. But Crisis is straight up fantastic. Getting to the Mingus and of course Dannie Richmond is on top of things as usual. Never disappoints.

Lmk if you find the solo piece. I won't be able to listen until later. I think I read the same somewhere.

Wow - so if I understand correctly these albums weren't streaming at all before this?

Indeed. I haven't listened in a while so I'm not sure if there's a solo track is on this one.

This one?

Interesting. Got to hand it to MacFarlane - get rich and famous THEN record jazz albums.

Great breakdown.

FWIU, those codes are how he notates his compositions. Instead of the traditional music sheet he uses these diagrams. I think that's extrapolated on some of his later collections like ZIM Music and others. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

Isn't Charly a PD label for the most part?

Patrick Moraz on that one, added something beneficial imo

Listening at lunch today and noted how Red was killing it. Definitely an engaging listen

Waste deep in financials at work so going through all of my Eastern Rebellion CDs today.

Nice. Adding this with the other recent live releases to the wantlist.

Thanks for posting. Will have to check this out

Listened to the Hubbard yesterday and the Dorham today. Mingus tomorrow. All bandcamp downloads so none of the CD issues which suck to hear about. Really enjoying Cedar Walton on this Dorham date. To those that have the CDs/LPs, how are the interviews in the booklets?

Of note to @Ken Dryden for my Yamaha with a similar issue I was able to reference troubleshooting steps in the manual, which allowed me to get the system to display the error code. The result I got was the dreaded "likely needs repair" but at least the problem is known. I would assume Denon would have a similar troubleshooting feature like the Yamaha but I'm not 100% on that. There is something to be said for vendors that offer this service.

I guess the question is are repair prices typically worth it or is it better to get a new receiver? Obviously that's up to the individual owner, but what does a bad board typically cost to replace on these mass produced models? I've got a similar issue with a recent model Yamaha receiver (manufactured in the last 10 years) and haven't the first clue where to send it for repairs because the local shops that used to do that kind of thing are long gone. Meanwhile I'm using a 90s model Pioneer that keeps trucking along until I figure out a solution.

Cool to break them out like this. I love those records too. Without looking, several if not all the Byrd albums have Pepper Adams on them I think.

Yeah, biggest one Ive seen. We have them in NC but I've never caught one despite trying. I would eat what I catch but probably wouldn't for one that big as it's likely as old as the hills. Still ongoing with no signs of stopping in the US. Most people here buy fish at the market already fileted, strangers to what the entire fish actually looks like, or how good the rest of the fish is outside of the filets. You'll basically only see whole fish at the market in ethnic supermarkets. And you'll find the "trash" fish there too - shad, bluefish, milkfish, etc.

Gold & Greed about Forrest Fenn's treasure hunt. And then Kings of Tupelo, another wild Netflix documentary.

Great reading your review of this. Will be giving it a spin
