a 1200 sounds like an excellent idea!

Looking forward to responses on this. I think its the Horizon I've read very bad things about, something about a noisiness that was fixed in the SE version?

Great write up! Sounds like The Cards are doing some kind of combination of blue cave/red cave from the tours a few years back, with the darkness of blue cave and the anger of red cave. "Come Pick Me Up" is of course a favorite, some of the best relationship lyrics I've ever heard. and "i taught myself how to grow old" is one of my all time super duper absolute favorites. beautiful, brilliant song. I can't wait for Ryan to come around again. I love this channeling Garcia thing he's been doing for the past few years. I'm sure all the hanging around with Phil Lesh helps that. The last album was originally billed as just The Cardinals, but I don't think the record company would let them take Ryan Adams off. I honestly think Ryan is trying to keep his ego in check, as he's allowed himself to destroy shows in the past. By thinking of himself as more a part of the group, he's seeking to curb those arrogant tendencies.

yeah I'm a sucker for collector's editions books as well, as you know. so I've at least added it to my amazon wishlist. grats on the ecd-1 sherwood! i've never heard one, but it sure does get talked about a lot around here.

let me type them from the acoustic sounds catalog: horace parlan - movin' and groovin' johnny griffin - introducing johnny griffin cliff jordan - blowing in from chicago hank mobley - dippin' duke jordan - flight to jordan kenny burrell - on view at the five spot cafe grant green - grantstand hank mobley - workout herbie hancock - maiden voyage the horace silver quartet - blowin' the blues away freddie hubbard - hub cap freddie hubbard - hub-tones the 3 sounds - introducing the 3 sounds jimmy smith - midnight special jimmy smith - back at the chicken shack hank mobley - no room for squares jackie mclean - new soil ike quebec - blue & sentimental hank mobley - peckin' time lee morgan - the sidewinder lou donaldson - sunny side up lou donaldson - the time is right stanley turrentine - up at minton's vol. 1 walter davis jr - davis cup dizzy reece - soundin' off

and I see that Acoustic Sounds is doing another set of 25 Blue Note titles. This is ridiculous, I'm going to have to start delivering pizzas at night or something.

neat!

looks pretty cool, but I'm not really an HP fan. haven't read any of the books. the movies I've seen are fun though.

A LOVE SUPREME FUCK YES!!!

yay!

i dunno, the cheapest zu is still half the price of the bloom. i totally want to try a bloom though, so i feel you. zu also has their senn cable at ~$200. also vinyl anachronist hearts the zu, so.

don't worry, the twenties are great until you turn 22, then you are just old and shit and no one will sleep with you anymore.

i'm so full. we did three thanksgivings.

happy birthday!

i like the hire a lacky idea!

You might enjoy it. Not sure what your poison is when it comes to fantasy, but Malazan is definitely what I call "fat fantasy" (meaning epic fantasy spanning many volumes), with a militaristic bent, heavy on the magic. The complaint most often levied against him is his books are dense and complicated. He is a hell of a world-builder, but it can be hard to keep up with all the characters, races, nations, and types of magic. Best advice is to start with the first one (Gardens of the Moon) and just read on from there. GotM is wonderful, but the series really starts to cook with the next two, Deadhouse Gates and Memories of Ice. Those two are primo fantasies, real classics of the post-Tolkien genre.

I haven't read the last book either. I was kind of planning on waiting for the next book, so I could read them back to back, so I don't feel like I'm missing out on any POVs. Another reason to love Malazan, Erikson knows how to release books. Seems like right when I'm finishing one, bam, the next one is published in HC.
