I have been absorbed into the collective and swapped my old phone for an iPhone. Now, how do I get a replacement for the crappy music player that comes with the phone? There are so many music apps that I can't make heads or tails of what to get. The main thing I am looking for is the ability to shuf...

Alone Again (naturally)

You go to my head
You don't know what love is

I used to follow football and hockey almost obsessively. I find myself completely uninterested in the gladiator sports because that's what they have become to me.

Lunch yesterday: Hash made from leftover sausage, meatloaf and mashed potatoes. Fried up with butter, onions and mushrooms. I think I have hit my cholesterol limit for the next 6 months! Just to be clear, weight and nutrition are generally an issue with me, but I was having a crappy day and that was...

Impressive pictures Ron & Coda!! I particularly like seeing the float planes, brings back memories. I love the northwest coast where float planes are mostly what's "parked" out front and, in the case of some of the places I was, the only way to get around other than by boat. I have a q...

I could have sworn there was a thread on this board but I can't find it. I was just checking to see if anyone had posted a link to the NY Times obituary, if this already posted my apologies. http://www.nytimes.com/2013/11/15/arts/music/kalaparusha-maurice-mcintyre-tenor-saxophonist-dies-at-77.html?r...

I never get tired of Ellery's sound, ideas and he is involved with so many different groups that the context is also always fresh.

This makes a lot of sense since, from what I can gather, people with autism can be very obsessed with rules.

http://www.squidco.com/miva/graphics/products/misc4/17445.jpg Went to see two guys play last night who were half of this quartet and picked up this CD. Includes Jack Wright who sounds like a very interesting dude. I was talking to Elwood Epps (the trumpet player) and he was describing Jack as an ol...

I believe that has been added to the latest DSM. Treatment consists of a twice-daily kick in ass.

Fucking christ! Those have got to be two of the most boring motherfuckers on the face of the planet! If anybody makes it through that video, will you please summarize for the rest of us? Agreed! That video was actually what brought this sorry little tale to my attention and I skipped ahead as much ...

The clips on amazon sound really really awful, though. I didn't think the samples on eMusic sounded bad at all. Definitely on my purchase short-list. I haven't heard anything from Andrea recently and I'm really looking forward to hearing the entire disc. http://www.emusic.com/album/ches-smith-these...

I just got to 48 yo. Considering that many thought I would never reach 30 (including myself) that's a victory in itself. I started lurking around JC around 02 or so. I didn't know anything about jazz and learned a lot while I was there. Still don't know a hell of a lot but I have a better idea of wh...

In case anyone isn't aware of who Alex is, he's a young sax player who primarily plays straight-ahead jazz.

I was made aware of this little tempest in a tea pot yesterday. The only thing I can guess is that Alex Hoffman will be embarrassed by this when he grows up a bit (I guess I'm an optimist). Here's a summary of Alex's thoughts on Wayne and many other things musical (and just plain fucked up) and one ...

When did OCD become such a common affliction? I mean, unless you're performing surgery or cooking food for others, what is this insane obsession with cleanliness?

Your voice reminds me of someone, I'm thinking Elvis Costello but I'm not sure if that's right. In any case, well done. Here's what I've been fooling around with on tenor sax: https://soundcloud.com/cleger15/easygoingbassline-100813-2 Just me trying to come up with something melodic over a pretty st...

Thanks King Stoner! Here's my latest. It's a Prince cover (done in a vocal style inspired by Mitch Ryder's cover of the same song). I did try a falsetto on the backing vocals, which was a pisser! https://soundcloud.com/steve-thelil/when-you-were-mine I didn't know the original tune, but I like your...

Used to drive a three on the tree Ford on the farm. Yeah, my first "car" was a Ford F100 with a three on the tree. I remember I sold a motorcycle to a young guy and I transported it to his place since he didn't have his motorcycle license yet and he was dumbfounded when I started shifting...
