Uncle Michael's avatar View Uncle Michael's profile Options

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.

I've seen Marsalis actually be positive about more creative artists before, and it surprised me.

Marsalis has said a few disparaging things about freer jazz in the past, and has been know to be a taskmaster w/ his groups.

I think that was true about Marsalis when he first broke (Branford was the open minded Marsalis)-now, his baby, Jazz at Lincoln Center, does book artists from the free jazz world, seems swing and bebop are no longer the only accepted types of music.

Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥   Fri. 11/10/17 10:17am northguineahills:

Cumbia rebajada started sort of like dj screw's cut and screwed hiphop mixes. In the early 80s, there was a cumbia outdoor party at the market in Monterrey, Mexico. The generators started to die and the turntables started to slow down. Cough syrup was the drug of choice, so the audience loved it. So first, rebajada mixes were made, then bands started making the music like that on purpose.

omg, ppl do still smoke. it's always most shocking when i see ppl under 30 smoking.
Avatar Swag For Life Member Fri. 11/10/17 11:30am coelacanth∅:

i smoke an average of maybe 3 cigarettes/year. what the typical american eats in 3 days harms them more than my 3 ciggies/year.
- i keep meaning to smoke more herb though. maybe this weekend.

Anybody been to IMDb lately? I went to check something (Tiffany's related) and for the second time in a couple days the Eggo waffle awful FACE WHAM takeover of the page layout was startling and repellent. The first time, I initally closed it in the moment it took to load because I thought I'd taken a wrong turn.

I had a check engine light on fora couple months - usually just means a minor emissions system problem - tho my starter went out the other day

Smoking is still legal at bars down here if you get a permit. Thankfully, there are not many.

@ Doug, I'm always a sucker for an instrument that's as big or bigger than the player using it (used to love seeing my daughter play bass clarinet in the school band, was sorry when she gave it up-punk guitar was more her style).
Avatar Swag For Life Member Fri. 11/10/17 11:38am coelacanth∅:

mechanics always don't reset it for me, saying it doesn't matter because my car's too old to need to pass emissions tests in new york; but maybe it would actually tell me that there was a problem, if it was not always on.

coel -- Separate ad graphics overkill on the movie site. Although going back to the same page, I got different big ad whack. Awful waffle attack must be in rotation. I hope some algorithm or tracking hasn't targeted me for conversion/indoctrination.

Mott is actually a verb roughly meaning "to manhandle"

Mott the Hoople was a novel. The character was named Mott and he was a "hoople" or a good for nothing, a bum if you will.

I think I got "manhandle the particular sized jar" in some set of instructions written/translated by a non-English speaker.
