Marky Boy:
I am sooooo loving this set of Jive. Yeah! | |
|
Fri. 1/11/08 9:52am
Hugo:
Interesting outfit, this Cooke Quintet. Sort of a nouveau klezmer/Balkans touch to it. Speaking of the Balkans, off to Kosovo/Macedonia in a week or so ... | |
|
Fri. 1/11/08 9:54am
Hugo:
Ah, I heard it was Braxton before it was up on the playlist. Unmistakable! | |
|
Fri. 1/11/08 10:03am
Cecile:
Steve Martin also said "you can never be unhappy when someone plays the banjo" | |
|
Fri. 1/11/08 10:04am
pat:
Right you are Doug, it's us and them--you have to make a choice: either you're Braxton or your unBraxton. | |
|
Fri. 1/11/08 10:04am
Bill:
Doug I'll enlist in your Anthony Braxton army! | |
|
Fri. 1/11/08 10:06am
Parq:
There are two kinds of people in this world; people who divide the world into two kinds of people, and people who don't. | |
|
Fri. 1/11/08 10:08am
Doug:
Ow, Parq, that hurts my head! | |
|
Fri. 1/11/08 10:09am
Cecile:
I think some banjo would make it better. | |
|
Fri. 1/11/08 10:10am
Wes:
Sounds pretty good to me sans banjo, let the harp speak to you | |
|
Fri. 1/11/08 10:12am
Cecile:
The same place the "easy" button is at, Pat | |
|
Fri. 1/11/08 10:15am
Paul Sherratt:
I wonder Cowboy Bobby ever met up with a young Ronnie Dawson ? | |
|
Fri. 1/11/08 10:16am
pat:
I Stubbed My Toe.. this song is excellent! You could just keep playing stuff like this for the rest of the year. | |
|
Fri. 1/11/08 10:16am
Wes:
for some reason I feel like a cold can of PBR | |
|

bob in seattle:
It's grey and drizzly here, too. Go figure. | |
|
Fri. 1/11/08 10:26am
pat in DC:
I'm seeing gray and drizzly too. | |
|

Wes:
Guinness and Strongbow | |
|
Fri. 1/11/08 10:35am
Hugo:
There are four kinds of people in this world: those who go for Guinness, those who go for Strongbow, those who go for both and those who go for none of them. No, make that three. A Guinness in Dublin is a good thing ... | |

north guinea hills:
i like this trader horn. one of the few albums that i was able to save from my old laptop. | |
|
Fri. 1/11/08 10:45am
Parq:
Hugo, a Smithwick's in Galway City doesn't suck, either. | |
|
Fri. 1/11/08 10:48am
pat:
Sorry folks but St. Bernardus, or St. Sixtus, or Rodenbach, or any Belgian beer blows all other beers away (and I'm Irish ). | |
|
Fri. 1/11/08 10:49am
Hugo:
I thought the set would be somehow incomplete without Mike Cooper. Beautiful and special record, considering the backing musicians ... | |
|
Fri. 1/11/08 10:59am
Wes:
I agree pat, the way Belgian beer is brewed in oak casks with fermented fruit, creating layers of flavor and alcohol content....mmmm..... but I'll still have a black and cider now and again (or 2 or 3) | |
|
Fri. 1/11/08 11:04am
Hugo:
Parq, possibly so, but I have no longer any vivid recollection of what I drank while over in Galway. Possibly unsurprising. My fave beer remains "weissbier", either German or Belgian (Hoegarden). But a Guinness is still a good substitute for dinner ... | |
|
Fri. 1/11/08 11:11am
pat:
While we're talking beer, I'm kind of done with American beer--seems like just a contest to see which beer maker can out-hop all the others. | |
|
Fri. 1/11/08 11:12am
Paul Sherratt:
Hugo, I drank my first four half pints of Guiness in four different bars in Dublin, aged 15. And in each bar one of the regulars would insist on paying for the drink ! Certainly seemed like a fair city that afternoon ... What a fine folk collection that was earlier, by the way. | |
|
Fri. 1/11/08 11:17am
Cecile:
I have to say that kind of is the case with American beers, although I have noticed a nice tendency in some newer ones to balance the hops with a toasted malt flavor which makes it most drinkable. | |
|
Fri. 1/11/08 11:20am
Doug:
I enjoy a lot of hops but some of them are overdoing it these days indeed. Bell's Two Hearted is my current favorite. | |
|
Fri. 1/11/08 11:22am
Hugo:
Nicole is related to Roscoe? | |
|
Fri. 1/11/08 11:24am
Parq:
Actualmente, what makes a Smithwick's in Galway especially great is that it's in Galway. It's like those boiled hot dogs that just don't taste right unless there's a ball game in front of you while you're eating them. | |
|
Fri. 1/11/08 11:26am
pat:
I went to college with a guy who use to be the brewmaster at Stoudts in PA. He made an amazing "Belgian-style-triple" and I've had really top-rate American beers. But mostly it's been disappointing. I agree that if you balance the hops with the malt (I was amazed that Hoppocket does this) then your okay. | |
|
Fri. 1/11/08 11:32am
Cecile:
I like Fat Tire for that very reason. Also what St. Paul Flat Earth Brewery is doing now,too. Also Upper Michigan has had some killer brewers lately. Jasper Ridge, Vierling and Keewenaw Brewing Co all make some nice hoppy ones that are well-balanced. Only probably is, I can't remember of their names. It's a point of pride, because we're not known for a hell of a lot else. | |
|
Fri. 1/11/08 11:33am
Cecile:
Yay for Tani Tabbal! The Griot Galaxy mainstay! Say Yes! to Michigan! | |
|
Fri. 1/11/08 11:35am
Doug:
Cecile, wow! Namechecking Tani Tabbal. You're the coolest! | |
|
Fri. 1/11/08 11:37am
Cecile:
I saw the Griots in the mid-80s. Tani was wearing some awesome metallic face paint and I had smoked way too much hash, so he looked like he was turning into a bear and I had to hide under the table. What a great night! | |
|
Fri. 1/11/08 11:38am
Cecile:
But, sorry, Doug, no one is cooler than you! | |
|
Fri. 1/11/08 11:48am
Paul Sherratt:
And a quick name-check if I could for my mouse mat which features the Adnams Sole Bay Brewery, Southwold, Suffolk, England. Recommended. | |
|
Fri. 1/11/08 11:48am
Doug:
Actually, there is a fellow in Abu Dhabi who's 23% cooler. | |
|
Fri. 1/11/08 11:52am
Cecile:
Is that by weight or by volume? | |
|
Fri. 1/11/08 11:54am
Lewis:
lovin' this set!! | |
|
Fri. 1/11/08 11:57am
Hugo:
Listening to the Gnoua Brotherhood, you feel they could easily have gone on till next week, well, except for a quick bite and a brief nap ... | |
|
Fri. 1/11/08 12:00pm
pat:
Okay, I'm trying all the beers suggested here, thanks. Thanks for the tunes Doug. | |
|
Fri. 1/11/08 12:01pm
Parq:
Yeah, what's for lunch? | |
|
Fri. 1/11/08 12:02pm
pat:
except Smithwick's which I hate. | |
