Me too. But not until June 7th. ECM USA advisd me that the release date was pushed back due to a manufacturing defect. LWayne You sure? I got my copy from Borders last week. I like it. The June 7th date is posted on the ECM facebook page as well. LWayne I have it sitting beside me on the desk as I type. I loaded it into iTunes last week. I don't know what else to say. I know I'm not dreaming. I've listened to it three times.

Pretty sure they haven't been accepting new customers for quite some time. Same goes for adding new titles. But yes, they're clearly dead.

I've used Skype sparingly, mainly because of the quality. Too much delay or something, but that may have been due to the other parties' computer. I actually had a job interview over Skype, though. I'm sure 10+ years ago, this same company would have arranged for an on-site interview, but with Skype, it was a simple video conference call. For cheap calling, I use Google Voice. It's integrated with my Sprint cell service so I just dial any number from my cell phone and if it's international, Google Voice automatically takes over and low rates (not Sprint's criminal rates) apply, or if I'm calling Canada, it's free. Plus, you can call from your computer using Gmail or the Google Voice interface. Pretty slick.

some wicked wind blowing through here this weekend. Actually saw some snow this morning too. Nice!

Wow, a Monkees thread. Is this place turning into the Hoffman forum?

it's Vancouver's year this time, isn't it?

Your last point, that's the key I think to overall reduction in inflammation in your body. Take as much omega-3 oils (DHA and EPA), especially from fish sources, as you can.

You probably reduced some inflammation that had been running rampant in your body for years. Reduced inflammation=less joint problems, less digestive problems, etc

pretty useful with the Android app on my Evo. But I can't see myself ever paying for something like this. I'm interested in seeing what Google is cooking up.

He's a musician and producer. He's doing alot of the remastering of the King Crimson catalog. I believe Jakko Jakszyk is doing the remainder of the titles. Wilson is the main guy in Porcupine Tree, and has also done some solo work (under his own name, Bass Communion, and IEM), and also is a primary musician in the bands No-Man and Blackfield. Oh. I never figured out the fascination with Porcupine Tree, so I don't know the names. I tried listening to some of it and it didn't excite me. Same as the other newish band that Crimson had been supporting recently, Tool. Thought I'd see what all the commotion was about there, and it just seemed like a lot of recycled 70s Crimson to me, except with added creep-oid imagery or something. Like I've heard it before, but done better. Well, I trust Fripp, at least!

Who the hell is Steven Wilson? I preordered that new ProjeKCt immediately upon hearing about it. Sounds like it could be great! But, I've liked all the ProjeKcts and especially the latest versions of KC (mid-90s on).

well, the recorded Columbia output.

why such a difference in price between hardcover and paperback?

I've only randomly gotten emails from them lately. I did not get this one, thanks.

Just got back from Baltimore. I had no time to do any record shopping, but I liked the city a lot. The only thing I had a problem with was the seemingly SEVERE lack of Starbucks locations! I was able to only find one, close to the Hippodrome (I forget the street). Thankfully I had it in my hotel room.

great timing for this thread! I was wondering the same thing as I will be in Baltimore from March 13-16, for a conference at a hotel (Sheraton Inner Harbor, I think?). I hope I have time to check one of these places out.

I didn't know about the mobile version. I have my browser settings unchecked for mobile versions, so that I always get the full versions of web sites when possible. I just checked the mobile version of this site and it looks no different than an app would. How did I miss it too?

Why would we need one, though? The mobile version of the board is lightweight enough that I really don't see what extra functionality an app would accomplish. no zooming, browsing to the site, etc. an app would just be an optimized version of the site for the android OS.

I've never heard these bootlegs before. Graz (1976) is almost as good as Dortmund!

free audience recordings, too.

Well, as much as I dislike downloads, I'm signing up for this. Thanks for the post!

I liked Stoa the best, maybe because he was playing electric piano and acoustic piano on that one. He dropped the electric for the next two ECM titles, and they also got funkier (and less interesting, to me). Stoa seems a little more spacy. The newest one, Llyria, has not interested me enough to go back to it after several listens since it came out.

The best thing about my Blue Ray player so far has been the apps. I have Amazon, Netflix, Pandora, some NPR podcasts, and BD-live with discs that support it. And the Le Noise disc is pointless as far as video goes, but the audio is great.

Seems like store #1, the downtown Ann Arbor Borders, will be on the chopping block next, among the 75 other stores closing in the next wave.
