couw Posted July 2, 2004 Report Share Posted July 2, 2004 No offense intended. I'm laughing! Then translate, please! The suspense is killing me. I already did! I took your line on redundancy and translated it into German. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John B Posted July 2, 2004 Report Share Posted July 2, 2004 One thing, as a mostly-lurker here, that I've never understood, is why the avant-garde (or whatever you want to call it) seems so centered on one thread. I know a lot of posters here (like myself) made their way from the BNBB, but the sheer length of it suggests that there's a lot of interest in it, and it could "infect" the rest of the board a little more. That's my 2c, without actually doing anything about it... For one thing, when you do talk about Free-Jazz, or A/G on other threads, you get a bunch of people who always grip about how "That's not jazz, it's just noise!" I, for one, am just damn tired of that act, so I don't even bother to talk about the kind of jazz I mostly listen to on anything but the "Funny Rat" thread. I think it is great that, ever since this discussion started, the Funny Rat thread has been devoted almost exclusively to Coleman Hawkins.

We've discussed traditional, swinging, blues-drenched jazz there, on and off... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghost of miles Posted July 2, 2004 Report Share Posted July 2, 2004 Until recently I avoided the Funny Rat thread precisely because of its length...(maybe it's time for "Son of Funny Rat"?) but a couple of weekends ago I did make my way through the first 43 pages, and I intend to finish reading it during some other slow time at work. Definitely a good thread to read/be in if you're at all interested in modern improv & free jazz. It would be cool to see more threads about individual artists.

alankin Posted July 18, 2004 Report Share Posted July 18, 2004 The "Funny Rat" thread sure has grown: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alankin Posted July 18, 2004 Report Share Posted July 18, 2004 But, seriously, if a thread has a lot of pages I generally look at the first page and then, if it seems interesting, I go to the last page. I then back up a page by page until I've gone back a few days or so and then go forward. (The problem is remembering where you've left off if you don't visit every day. I must confess I sometimes keep track of thread pages numbers in my calendar...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B. Goren. Posted July 18, 2004 Report Share Posted July 18, 2004 I have been meaning to check out the RUSH thread (The Group, not the radio guy!) but every time I am about to click on it, I see it's like 8-9 pages long! Â I want to put in a good word, but don't want to wade thru that! Anyone else lazy? Yes! And this thread also became too long for me to check it out...
