Dan Gould Posted October 7, 2003 Report Posted October 7, 2003 Apparently he's giddy from all the recall excitement. Quote
BruceH Posted October 7, 2003 Author Report Posted October 7, 2003 Yeah. Between the new batch of Conns and the recall circus I don't know whether to jump for joy or slit my wrists. Quote
jazzbo Posted October 7, 2003 Report Posted October 7, 2003 Wow, for a minute there I thought I was going to be able to save some money and pass on these . . . because they suck! Quote
Peter Johnson Posted October 7, 2003 Report Posted October 7, 2003 Because I haven't gotten them yet. Quote
Rooster_Ties Posted October 7, 2003 Report Posted October 7, 2003 (edited) Because I haven't gotten them yet. Ditto!! wouldn't that be funny as hell, if rooster couldn't find/hear that new hill conn, today.... Son of a bitch!!! Free For All and I got together to buy the new Hill Conn, and listen to it together for the first time. But at Noon today, Streetside Records still hadn't gotten their 'other' UPS shipments yet today. So we drive down to Barnes and Noble on the Plaza, and they don't have any of the Conns - nor was their store slated to carry them either (or at least they weren't ordered for people to buy today, "maybe sometime in the future though"). So, then we drive our asses down to Borders Books down in Johnson County, KS - and after we turn the store upside down - we finally find the crash-cart with all the new releases that they hadn't put out yet. And after 10 minutes of searching, we find 5 of the six new Conns. Anybody wanna guess which Conn they didn't have???? ("maybe it'll come next week????") So, we go get some lunch, and then drive back to Streetside, hoping that the UPS truck had finally been there by then (it was about 2:30pm by that time), and when we got to Streetside, there hadn't been any more UPS boxes delivered today, so "maybe tomorrow??".

relyles Posted October 7, 2003 Report Posted October 7, 2003 Well I just confirmed that my local independent retailer has the Hill and he is putting one aside for me to pick up after work. Since I have most of the other Connoisiers in another format, I will not be in a rush to pick those up. Never can quite understand the need to constantly purchase repackaged music that is already in your collection unless there is a significant flaw that diminished the ability to enjoy the music. Quote
Free For All Posted October 7, 2003 Report Posted October 7, 2003 Hey if it was easy being an Andrew Hill fan then everyone would do it. The "hard" is what makes it good. There's no crying in jazz!! Quote
AfricaBrass Posted October 7, 2003 Report Posted October 7, 2003 My answer: Because I can't afford any of them. I'm on a tiiiighhhhtttt budget. Oof! :rsly: Quote
Shrdlu Posted October 7, 2003 Report Posted October 7, 2003 'Cos Ron McMaster did the transfers! Quote
BruceH Posted October 8, 2003 Author Report Posted October 8, 2003 Rooster, sounds like you've been through the trials of Job today. My sympathies. Hopefully all this frustration will make the Hill sound that much better when you get it. Quote
BruceH Posted October 8, 2003 Author Report Posted October 8, 2003 Because I can't afford any of them. I'm on a tiiiighhhhtttt budget. Oof! :rsly: Yeah, I sure wish the Conns were priced the same as the RVG's. Ouch! Quote

Oof! :rsly: I'm on a budge too, AB, but I ordered mine from CD Universe a couple of weeks ago, BEFORE my budget got tight!! There are times when you have to strategically tighten and loosen your budget. Quote

JSngry Posted October 8, 2003 Report Posted October 8, 2003 (edited) I ordered mine at CD Universe last night, when I saw that they were charging $3/disk less than what Dusty Groove (the bastards!) was selling them for (and from where I was just about to order them until I remembered this thread). So I multiplied $3 X 6 ('cause I ordered them all, because things are temporarily flush, thank God), took the whopping $18 savings, and applied, what, $6 of it(?) to upgraded second day shipping. So I STILL saved money, even as I spent it. I'm doing my part to rescue the American economy from its doldrums, and to keep EMI a happy, profitable corporate dicksucker. Plus, I demonstrate a theory of Economics that our political leadership still fails to grasp - if you're broke, you're fucked, but as long as you're not, it's not really "money", it's just numbers. As long as income exceeds outgo, let's party. Yeah, it really IS just that simple. Edited October 8, 2003 by JSngry Quote

JSngry Posted October 8, 2003 Report Posted October 8, 2003 Sangrey for treasury secretary. Party till the money runs out!!! The trick is in seeing that the money never runs out. THAT requires creativity, flexibility, personal charm. and sometimes even a job. But only as a last resort. Nobody said fun was easy, but consider the alternative. Set your priorities, pay your bills, take care of your family, and blow the rest. If there's no "rest" to blow, put your kids to work and take all their money. It's good training for when they have to pay taxes, and as much as they'll curse you now, that's how much they'll thank you later. Especially when they ace the English class unit on Dickens w/o having to so much as crack a book. Quote
