"This Time" - Los Lobos

Jesus of Cool Reissue
River: Letters to Joni - Herbie Hancock (if you think you know Herbie, he ain't what you think!)
TYM Reissue Anniversary with Live CD
Bunch of old Coltrane stuff

One of the best things about reissues isn't the "lost tracks" or the variations on the theme. It is that they force the original recording back to the 'front burner', and they remind you of the great feelings that are tethered to the songs, anchored somewhere in the past but still relevant...

Oh my goodness, Herbie is definitely a force to be reckoned with.... His Miles Davis connections show as he ages. This record, and the brilliant "Gershwins World" prove him to be one of the most significant forces in jazz today. Thank God that someone is carrying the torch. All gone: Miles...

"Love the One You're With" - Stephen Stills

What the hell are you talking about Bamboo? I understand clever comments and the turn of a good phrase, but what the hell are you talking about? I know! You don't have any idea, do you. It was just time to weigh in with a negative to ingratiate yourself. Good play! However, you fall into the same ca...

"Quero" - Beck

"Angels with Dirty Faces" - Los Lobos Oh man oh man. This is from their grammy award winning "Kiko and the Lavender Moon" and it is incredible record from beginning to end..

" and she was " - Talking Heads Sorry Otis. What a great record. And Jaco's soloing on Dry Cleaner from Desmoines makes you want to weep for his untimely passing. "I never been a rich man, but you know, I always had a few dollars in my pocket" Mingus was exceedingly rich in what ...

FYI, Barack Obama is not a Muslim. Or did you know that already? Don't bother the man with details. WSS: Yes, I know that. But does Hillary? Are you sure? Are you Positive? I mentioned the 'panel' of possibly ascribed characteristics or traits to spark something that of course, guys like you won't ...

well obama should make a clean sweep of the umpteen primaries and cauci over the next 2 weeks and hopefully have enough mo to blow through ohio and even texas and then all this silliness will be over. Here is the real "silliness" post. Watch people run for cover, and cower because there I...

"God Must Be a Boogie Man" - Joni (for Bluechair, who seems to appreciate the brilliance of the Mingus/Mitchell/Pastorius era..

"I'm so bored with the USA" - Clash "Oh, Atlanta" - Little Feat "Daddy Dont Live In That New York City No More" - Steely Dan "Barry Town" - STeely Dab "Caves of Altamira" - STeely Dan "East St Louis Toodle Oo - Steely Dan "Haitian Divorce&q...

New VP of Clinical Research - no sleep

Which really does beg the question: "Do you, like So Lack, actually enjoy being a persistent asshole"
How does an adult find overt petulance to be humourous. I Can't imagine deriving enjoyment by being hateful. Can't imagine it.

Birds of a feather. Some day........

John Coltrane - My Favorite Things
John Coltrane - Giant Steps

Looks like the usual suspects. I'd love to pay for your flight over Sam, but if I pay for yours I'd have to pay for Mr. Average and We Hit And Run....it would start to add up. But the beers would be on me. We'll be sure to look for moody in our spirits. I can assure you, you would have no worries a...

"I Can't Stand The Rain" - Ann Peebles

sorry, guys, I thought I was responding to Sam and was instead responding to Mr. A. I'm at work and busy with crap that I would rather be ignoring so that i could spend time solving the world's ills on EC fan forum. Sam, ignore my comments; Mr. A, go to town. I appreciate your thoughtful comments a...

"The Ballad of Big" - Genesis

I blew it. Thanks for the correction, as I definitely thought "A Simple Plan" was a Coen Bros film. It certainly has that feel. Doesn't change my impression of A Simple Plan, though. Great study in the cancer of greed.

"Start" - The Jam

I wasn't evangelizing. I was telling the board what my favorite gift is. I suppose that opens me to derogation and insult, in spite of the fact that it really was my favorite, with second place far behind. If I take peace and comfort in Faith and Family, so lack, why does that hurt you so much. God ...

"Filles de Kilimanjaro" - Miles Davis
