  2. Previously: Maybe we need a ceiling fan, so we may not need to run the A/C so much? Ok, Costco have a "Fandelier" Maybe that will work. OK. Some time later, after much installation. How About Now? No, not like that. Too UFO-y Do they have anything in white? "Yes Dear" : aka More Installation Later Acceptable. Blends in to the ceiling more. remote / App / Hey Google / Google Home automation for Light On/Off Brightness, Fan On/Off/Speed - it is quieter per more CFM. Color Temp as well. So a Win, Finally. Now to repeat for the other bedrooms, maybe.

  3. He was also the last musician survivor of “Harlem 1958.” https://uptowngrandcentral.org/harlem-1958 With the death of his fellow saxophonist Benny Golson in 2024, Mr. Rollins became the last survivor of the 58 musicians captured by the photographer Art Kane in his famous Esquire magazine group portrait “Harlem 1958.” “I was a fan,” Mr. Rollins told The Times in recalling the photo shoot in 2024. “I was in the picture, but it wasn’t so much as a musician — although I happened to be there as a musician — but I had been following jazz all my short life up to that time, so I knew a great deal about the guys.” He added that he was particularly proud to have been photographed alongside “my particular idols, Coleman Hawkins and Lester Young.”

  5. Because reasons... Speaking of friends of the thread. Way Out West by Sonny Rollins (1957) https://open.qobuz.com/album/0088807201473 Example: My first Sonny album I purchased, heavy vinyl from 1992 Analogue Productions. Always stuck. And lives in my queue rent free. I looked and I had three others in my queue, so they just moved to the top. RIP Sonny... 'n thx...

  8. I'm finally getting around to listening to Sonny Rollins. We've been at the lake house for a few weeks. Will listen to, Way Out West, when I get back to my vinyl rig. Till then, Qobuz will have to suffice.

  9. I have to admit I prefer Magnus Öström's style but last night I started reviewing Dan Berglund's discography with Tonbrucket. Then, I felt the need to put on this vinyl: an old friend of this thread but for me it is still magical.

  10. I was lucky to see Sonny in 2012 shortly before he was forced to stop playing for health reasons. He was still a colossus. RIP to the true legend.

  16. Every 3-4 years I listen to Paul Simon's The Rhythm of the Saints, and with apologies to Graceland which I love, but has never quite resonated the same, think it's international mix fills a hole no other album does or likely ever will. I'll listen to a dozen or so times in quick succession and promptly stop again. Two times today... so far. Maybe you will find a love That you discover accidentally Who falls against you gently As a pickpocket Brushes your thigh Further to fly

  17. Cara Dillon - After The Morning. A tender and beautiful voice, wonderful songs, several nice ballads with a touch of traditional Irish sound/instruments. Great for a mellow Sunday morning. Sample:

  21. Long story short: Donny Diapers got buttmad because Stephen Tyrone Colbert was mean to him on air. Larry Ellison bought CBS and put his bratty kid David in charge of it. David fired Stephen to stay in Donny's good graces (and to get various corporate mergers approved.) Stephen made an appearance on Michigan public access TV. Stephen put the results up on YouTube. YT is now blocking searches for it(!) There are many guest stars.

  27. Hah! Love the cakes, memes, biscuit-related nonsense, and the well wishes. Actually made me smile. I actually didn't have a biscuit; I've only had 1 biscuit (when I was in Chattanooga last month), where they can actually make them. Going to go watch The Devil Wears Prada 2 (and/or Obsession) tomorrow, and perhaps have a meal or something. Today, the dogs have made sure to be extra handsome and/or beautiful and/or cute today to celebrate, which is always a delight.

  30. Not from Costco. https://www.dreo.com/products/513s-smart-ceiling-fan https://a.co/d/0dvZat5n (Any many more YT reviews, whose discount codes may or may not work). The Costco option started the ceiling fan journey having spotted various neighbors ceiling fans on our nightly walk around the complex. Luckily the ceiling junction box was fan rated, so no additional work there. Dreo ticked the Smart remote /App / "Hey Google" integration boxes. Available in 3, 4 and 5 bladed options at 44 and 52 inch diameters. Couldn't persuade Joanne of the necessity of RGB in the bedroom.

  39. Robert Fripp @ 80, the series (not just the intro, there's already a couple episodes out) I won't say one of my biggest influences, but I am deeply fascinated with everything he thinks, says, and does -- I want to be influenced by him, but that's a rather high bar -- so will definitely be watching this series with interest.

  41. I'm not an EV guy, but the lines on these are very nice. My buddy has one a few years old in the metallic green and it's a stunner. I do understand that, I want to say 2020 or 2021...the earlier ones are the ones you see used mostly and that's for a reason. The slightly newer ones improved a good bit from what I heard. Enjoy...it's a rental HS
