The Bucks are looking mighty tough to beat. Fear the Deer indeed!

Corner Gas: The Movie

Van Dyke Parks: Song Cycle. For many years now, I will play this album every now-and-then, to find out if I understand anything, just a sliver of something on this album. So far, after all these years, I don't understand a darn thing about what's going on. PS: Let me add that I'm mystified by Van Dyke Parks reputation as a genius, I don't get a thing... I'm probably just dense.

Well, there was a team that stole a win last night, but is was the Warriors not Portland. That 14-3 run to close out the game, that was something only an experienced playoff team could pull off. Good win for the Warriors, and Sunday, to say the least, is must win time for the Blazers. On a side note, I'm already sick of the Currys and the media circus around them....

15 teams under .500 at this point (Miami in free fall, how many losses this year?) with no chance of going anywhere either. No wonder attendance is down -- MLB has a serious problem with the lack of quality baseball.

Despite their first game (that was coming off a tough Denver series), the Warriors winning the series is not a done deal... though if they continue letting Curry getting uncontested shots, they're in deep stuff. Wouldn't surprise me if they stole a win tonight, they can't play a worse game than game 1.

Love Me Or Leave Me. Doris Day & James Cagney, it's one of my favorite Day movies.

Very sad to hear of this, he was an interesting man who did great work in jazz. RIP

I keep going back and forth about watching this one or not. Yea or nay?

Well, back to the original topic: I would've have loved to get the whole 38 cd, etc., set, but at $800.00, what. the. heck. That's over $20.00 per cd, so I'm out. I'm just a an old hippie, I guess. Also, looking at the track list, I see Richie Havens is down for eleven songs, and I remember he did an interview where he said he spent hours on stage singing because no one else was prepared to go on. Hmm...

I thought the stupid ball was never going to make up it's mind to go in or not! Amazing moment.

Sad, she was a very good singer, actress, someone who live a very full life. RIP

Lou Bennett: Pentecostal Feeling

I admit that I gave up on Richard Powers after Galatea 2.2: A Novel -- it was the law of diminishing returns. Might dip my toe again.... maybe....

I like doing nothing, it's always been my favorite activity!

Thanks for the link and recommendations. I just noticed the start date on this thread, 15 years!

Does anyone know of a good article(s) or a book on this topic? I'd be very interested? Ghosty: I believe you did a program of her religious music(??), at least I looked at the archives, but I couldn't find anything. Is there a link to it?
