Turning over the toy box and jamming together the gloriously mismatched musical Lincoln Logs, Legos and Tinker Toys from Tin Pan Alley pluggers, pickled egg tavern weepers, lockstep soul ensembles, skinny-tie power poppers, Eurotrash ravers, moontanned art school rockers, drunken soccer anthems and anything else that seems like a good idea at the time. There are no guilty pleasures.

![]() Greetings from downtown, UM! It's a hot one today. You'd think It'd be much cooler here in the shadow of the capitol building, but all the hot air blowing out of there kind of cancels it out. |

![]() I like that the new comment box doesn't take you to another page, but don't like that it leaves your text in the box, and you have to erase it (talk about getting lazy in the modern world...) |

![]() Billy Preston, man does that name take me back. I knew stagehands at Radio City Music Hall, where Billy was the first pop music act ever to be booked for a concert. He came in every night after the last stage show and practiced on the Wurlitzer for hours. |

I had a stamp for my records back in the '70s, too! My mother gave it to me as a present. The stamp reads "From the Fabulous Record Collection of Doug Schulkind" Of course, I was too mortified to ever actually use it. |

I got the "Turn it down" treatment, too, playing Faces' "A Nod Is As Good As a Wink." Fast forward a few decades and my mom's all, "I sure do love that Rod Stewart." | |

![]() The Cubs are an impressive team. Going after Chapman would be smart in two ways because the Nats are in the market for a closer too. |

Yeah, I'm not surprised about Firefox 3.6 from 2010. Firefox didn't start supporting the method used for box clearing until this year. |
![]() |
![]() so that wasn't Clark Terry on trumpet, i take it |
![]() |
![]() @Kenzo makes sense, there are many things that don't work on this mac! but the stream does, so that's all that matters |
![]() |
Fri. 6/17/16 1:44pm
Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):
Never mind that Firefox comment, it's worked since 2011, shortly after the version you're using, @hyde. I might adjust and then I'll ask you if it still doesn't clear for you. |
![]() |
![]() (that's the Brown/Roach band, augmented... Richie Powell and Max Roach are on that track (I'm sure no one would have slept if I didn't finish that off). |
![]() |
![]() sure, i can check it out if you want to test it. |

![]() @Kenzo, am I the only one who has trouble with the clearing on Explorer? |

Fri. 6/17/16 1:50pm

@hyde: Can you completely reload the playlist page, then try posting a comment and see if the box clears when it's done? |
