Doofy, I'm surprised you'd make that comment without at least noting Craig Taborn's Avenging Angel made #10.

amclark2, do you have this classic? Art Blakey - The Big Beat $4.54. Just bought that after knowing the album from many years ago, a great one.

Thx for that pointer, BT, up my alley.

Fwiw, I deliberately abstained from saying "can't sing" - vocal technique is not that important to me - "useless" and "lame" are the chief descriptors for me. None of cafreema's list strike me as qualifying for those.
The epitome of my … -
I like Double Nickels well enough, but because I'm interested in learning about exotic life forms, I have to ask if there's anyone (Minutemen fan or otherwise) who doesn't think D Boon was the lamest, most useless vocalist imaginable? I crin…

(Quote) I view the situation under discussion as one of knowledge and context, more than aesthetic-appreciation-value. There's lots and lots of music out there, more than I'll ever hear, that I might consider worth hearing multiple times. But I…

amclark2: (Quote) Interesting. So the set of "music I'd rather hear once than never" is small or negligible for you? I'd expect the opposite for most ardent music fans (it's large for me). Of course, since we're all resource-limited, we general…

Daniel, a great place for streaming ideas is a list like Tom Moon's 1000 Recordings to Hear Before You Die.

Doofy, because the IP and its marketing have always dominated costs, or at least, do so recently? Do you find that implausible enough to be notably skeptical? (I do not.)

Saxophonist Matana Roberts might be a good choice, her new one would be appropriate: Coin Coin Chapter One: Gens de Couleur Libres

I checked, no go. I was surprised too. Good label, bought many of their releases back in the day. I heartily endorse the Berne/Crispell and Splatter/Debris Braxton disc (really love that one).
In fact, in a concert I helped produce in… -
amclark2, the Stetson is in my Rdio queue, following the np: Tomas Phillips/Mariko Hara's Prosa.

BT, thx for that pointer, grabbed it.

(Quote) Of course, there's infinite room in the world for lack of agreement, but I wouldn't say you characterize the consensus accurately: Metacritic score of 82

I'm not much into list-making these days, but on the pop front, I would be surprised if both of these didn't show up on lots of year-end lists. Both I consider very strong records.

Well, Daniel, fwiw, I'm going to go out on a limb here and claim that the procedure you describe is 100% unnecessary - there's no way you need to go through that to address the (undiagnosed) issues you're having.

Daniel, with the tracks in question, how do they get into your iTunes library? Do you drag them in manually after download, or are they there automatically after using the download manager? If the latter, there's something going wrong with the iTu…

(Quote) Daniel, I find this an almost shockingly bizarre situation - when you download tracks from one of the offending services, what happens when you attempt to load and play them? Do you just have initial difficulty in iTunes, or do other sof…

Gp, I've pointed this out more than a few times, but in case you're unfamiliar, I think a lot of the feeling you describe is based on the (very real) endowment effect, an int…
