What was the deal with Terripan Tapes - how did it work? I had one direct source for tapes, before I started to torrant.

Probably won't make up to Green Mill, next Wed. I never heard of Alfonso Ponticelli and Swing Gitan - they look interesting though. Looks like they have the regular Wed. slot - which is always good (having a steady gig). It seems like we discussed Ponticelli, before. My next hopeful gig out will be at the Hideout, Wed., March 21st. The name of this band sounds like a Stephen King or some horror book.

Ed Shultz got suspended last year for calling someone a "slut". Stern has been fined and fired from the FCC/stations a couple of times and is now off of "regular" radio and people have to pay to listen to him. Bill Mahar's show was cancelled from ABC. But I am sure you can find idiots on the Left that have gotten away with it and those idiots should have been reprimanded. But, you are right Rush is hilarious.

Not part of the Presidential beat, but part of 2012 election none the less - I gonna miss his pocket Constitution. Sure he was a bit of a kook, but I shared many of defense views. "For First Time in 16 Years, Kucinich Loses His Seat" http://www.nytimes.c...ongress.html?hp

Can't find the jazz thread that got rather lengthy (dumb search function) - anyway I purchased the below. Mosaic is really good at sending emails, stating "supplies are about all out -- order now"... I have been trying to avoid purchasing this set, because the last thing I need is another box set. Looking forward to it - the only Basie stuff I have is the Complete Decca 1937-39 set. I think the Decca set is the only stuff I have that has Lester Young on it - though I know I have Billie Holiday comp. - I am sure he is on that, too. The Braxton and Threadgill Mosaic sets are great, I am sure

Wow - that is pretty bad and yes, wrong. Actually, it's a pretty much a put down.

5/7/77 was one of my first boots. One of my favorite shows.

I don't have any of their stuff, but they put on a hell of a performance at a Lollapalooza in 2007. We were on that side of the fest to see Patti Smith. who going to play after Snow Patrol, otherwise we probably wouldn't have went out of our way to catch them perform - we were glad we did. WXRT plays them a bit.

Watched Hugo last night - good flick. I guess it was a bit predictable, but the story was good. Watched it in 2D, though I have a 3D capable system, I haven't gotten around to get the glasses. It was beautifully shot.

http://vimeo.com/37645374 Sorry about that.

Revisiting Phish's 10/31/10 set this morning - such a fuckin fun sounding Little Feat set - man. Below is a video of announcing the summer tour - it's pretty funny. It kinda hard believe that I haven't seen these guys since 1998. http://summer2012.phish.com/

I think you sent me that set - haven't listened to awhile. I did watch the Cabin Fever a bit ago, always an enjoyable veiwing.

Thanks Shug. I gonna grab the Fillmore and Providence shows.

Definitely worthwhile to see.

Cd's all the way through on a stereo. Shows, too - I try to make sure I have enough time to listen the entire show in one sitting.

Nice word choice, Jules - we all will have to abstain from lots of things if he gets elected. Santorum's rhetoric has been picking up steam; I am glad he is giving Romney a run for his money, though.

Does anyone have a favorite 2005 show. They have been popping up on Etree, but I haven't snagged any of them. Anyone have any suggestions?

I do have a Miller source - it looks like he used Healy's mix, so I guess I should be set - thanks. I am with you Vacant Horizon - a highlight set from 92-95 would be great. The So Many Roads set has some of the new songs on Disc 5, but an expanded set would be a nice edition. I wonder how it will sell, though. I don't think the "why don't they put out full shows" crowd would be too upset with a "highlight" set of 92-95 songs.

Do you know where the utlramix of the 4/15/90 show is still seeding at?

They released the 3/15/90 show on cd. It's still on sell over at dead.net - it's funny that they still call it a limited edition. It was released in 1997. Pricey set.

David Hoekstra has a nice piece on Out of the Past Records, 4407-09 W. Madison St. I no longer have a record player, so I never been to this place, but it sounds like it might be a worth while visit, for some. http://blogs.suntime...re_that_sp.html While in that part of town, definitely hit up the Garfield Park Conservatory - a nice place. http://www.garfield-conservatory.org/ The neighborhood may be a bit rough, just mind your surroundings.

Listening to the below show, now. I don't listened to the early 80's show as often as other era's, but this show is a good one. A nice write up appears in the Taper's book. Dwork mentioned the Railroad Blues and Playin as highlights - they definitely are. Listening to the Hunter's Trix matrix source. I tend to lean towards the 68-73 years. I guess my favorite year is 71 then it goes 72/70/69/73/68. Of course, 77 and 89 are up there, too.

Sounds pretty good.

Above is a nicely written final paragraph.

I need to buy that Gear Book. I read it, but it would be a great book to have my shelf.
