Tickled by the jazz snobs who diss Burn's series. Personally, I never knew heroin was such a CLASSIC. You know, like those silver eveready batteries and wendy's bacon cheeseburger. I would have tried it long ago if I'd known Parker, Davis and Coltrane were advocates.
P.S. The soundtrack of "Oh Brother, Where Art Thou" is excellent.

Some nice tie-ins near the end of Jazz. Great to see and hear Cassandra Wilson. What a Shame they didn't play a cut from Branfor'd's Renaissance - overwhelmed by younger bro. But where the fuck was Steely Dan? I'm more convinced, or more deluded to be more accurate, after watching a good bit of the series that Two Against Nature is SDs truest jazz album (Cousin excepted). Katy Lied maybe second-trailing a bit. What if they really invented a new jazz: "Funk-tion" (as in I Can't) and no one noticed 'cause folks think it sounds like Gacho, even though it bears little structural resemblance. Why my delusion? COMMUNICATION among the insturments/musicians or a DAMN convincing imitation. They groove. They funk. They swing. Talk amongst yahselves..

Speaking of beta testing, it's become painfully clear the Talk City chat room is no longer working out. Many people have complained they can't access the room half the time or that your usernames no longer seem to be valid. I know I can no longer access the room with my username. Anyway, I'm not sure what types of changes Talk City made to the configuration but it sucks. Not to mention the advertisements are a pain.
SO...
I figured why not just run my own little chat server. I've got a server in the garage and with the exception of the release of 2AN, there is rarely more than 10 people in the room at anytime so I can't imagine bandwidth will be a problem.
This Sunday I'd like to try it out. I'll change the chat room entrance page to point at the new chat room. I'd like to encourage as many of you as possible to stop in for a visit sometime between 6:00 PM 9:00 PM PST. Instructions will be provided, but basically all you need is a web browser that supports Java (most do) and that's it.
See you Sunday!

Regarding tribute bands: As is the case with the Pink Floyd newsgroups and bulletin boards, there is a hard core of folks who do not like the idea of a tribute band. If you are philosophically opposed to tribute bands, you certainly are entitled. However, I think it is incorrect to believe that musicians play in tribute bands "for the money." I can tell you that there is very little profit in the "business" of tribute bands. I know many tribute band players and two things generally are true about them (1) they are intensely devoted and passionate about the artists to which they pay tribute and (2) they have original bands. Speaking from our experience, it is incredible when 100 or 1000 "Floydheads" come see us play at a small night club or at the House of Blues. Our audience are hard core Floyd fans and what happens is that all of us -- band and audience -- get to share our passion and love for the music of Pink Floyd. As for the contention that we "take away" from audiences that might otherwise go to original music, I can tell you that we have the opposite effect. We play many shows with original bands and provide those bands with an audience that they otherwise would not reach. Those bands that play with us NEVER complain about the fact that we draw people to see their shows. The Steely Damned is just about the best tribute band I've ever seen. Give Bob points, not deductions, for singing in his own voice -- after all it's a damn site better than trying to imitate Don and ending up sounding like a parody. Stay home if you like, that's your choice. But I guarantee that if you showed up, you would be unable to resist the high quality musicianship that the Steely Damned brings to bear on the music that brings you all to Sign In Stranger in the first place. This has been a promotional announcement by Dan Johnson of W1P Presents. Void if relied upon.

Greetings from LA's Pink Floyd tribute band, Which One's Pink? A couple of things. First, of all, despite my immersion in Floyd, I named my 10 month-old daughter Aja not Vera Lynn. Second, I'm going to NY 3/21 to the morning of 3/24 for the HOF celebration and to renew my acquaintence with that certain Steely Dan tribute band from south of us -- an absolute must for any DanHead. Third, I can't stay for Rockola because my band is booked in Las Vegas on 3/24 and I cannot miss a show where I am required to snort like a pig and laugh like a brain damaged (which is all I do with the band because I lack talent. Fourth, we are booked on 3/3 at Paladino's in Tarzana, CA with Orange County based Steely Dan tribute -- the Steely Fan band. These guys are quite good and worth seeing if you're in the 'hood. Hope to meet you all. Signed, Dan "Brain Damaged Pig Snorter" Johnson

Well howdy all! I like to be fashionably late to all parties, and there certainly seems to be one going on today! I was getting a little bored lurking on the board this morning so I took a swim through the archives. Looks like I might have joined the GB a coupla weeks too late. Had some pretty heated discussions earlier this month re: porn, heavy breathing, "my country's cooler than your country" and the like. Some pretty enthralling stuff there. Really. But I'd much rather belly up, as it were. So, now, who's the bartender/dress?? I'll take a Grand Marnier straight up. Not in one of those snooty snifters, just a plain ol' rocks glass. But no rocks! Just straight and smooth...that's how I like it. Mmmm...much better.

than gin and olives or onions or a twist of citrus rind should simply be called
something else (like a Cosmopolitan or a Melon Ball, et alia).

Perhaps the men were all insanely jealous (of YGK, of course!) while the women were all moved by a tide of colloquialistic "you go, girl"-type emotions. Or something.
Sounded like a rough day for you yesterday...hope it's gotten better. Otherwise, you might need another cyberdistraction to cheer you.
Perhaps you should take applications.
Missed Jazz *again*. Guess I might just have to acquire the set.

hey, who got their regattabar jazz fest mailing yesterday - a perfect way to be greeted on the homefront, yes! i was so psyched! - i already have my brubeck tix for next month's performance at berklee, anyone into going to see jon scofield as a dan-fan get together? forgot the date, didn't bring the mailer in with me to work, so will post that detail tomorrow...there are also other fantastic venues on that mailer, it may be a tough decision.....for it is now blatantly obvious i need to get out more, no?
ygk, still friends? are you recovered? did not mean to use you so ferociously yesterday, i hope you are of age....sheesh, that's all i need....my intent was actually to further irritate the average dan fan after his posting of a list of GB postings that irritate him last week, one of which was GB romances, so i decided to run with that and your namesake was the first to come to mind...ah well....fun, no? kisses, muwa! :p
aussie, wormy, and blaise, still speaking to me?
why is it the women were entertained and could see the big picture of it all but the men were so obviously not and appeared even offended? hmmmm, another discussion could ensue on that topic alone, wow!
dano, my protectorate, have a happy day! leave it to a scotsman to keep their sense of humor...

Dr Mu: I could deal with all the biographical info on Parker because his story certainly seemed uniquely tragic but I'm with you on all the other storytelling excesses of Burns. It should be just about the music, but alas, it's not. That's the trend in all bio shows on t.v. these days unfortunately. In the profiles of the 50 greatest athletes that ESPN did I was shocked to see at least five minutes devoted to the topic of how Larry Byrd doesn't have much contact with the daughter he fathered in high school. Who the fuck cares
ruby: longtime, no see. welcome back. I pulled "Katy Lied" from the depths of the CD rack over the weekend for the first time in years. It was like the return of an old friend. Hope you had a similar experience with TAN. Of course, then I went back to cranking Deep Purple so all the good musical vibes were vanquished

Comments:
Ken Burns still has the knack for creating a wonderful story in narration over photo style, stitching snapshots of lives and performances together. However, there does seem to be a bit of an obsession over the private lives of the performers at the expense of enveloping the MUSIC. Indeed, it is sad how horse kicked Charlie Parker, how booze pickled the tragic, and how anger possessed the soul of Miles Davis. But the whirlwind mini-segments on Kind of Blue and A Love Supreme for those obsessions have to be the worst trades since Dubya shipped Sammy Sosa out of Arlington, TX. A bit too much Wynton as well instead of say bra' Branson.
Still, the historical pieces surrounding the birth of jazz and early Louis Armstrong was great stuff. Horace Silver finally got a mention. Yes, the series will be on the X-mas list.

Middelhoff said.

Bertelsmann, the parent company of the BMG music unit, signed a watershed
co-operation deal with Napster in October. It's trying to bring the Internet
music site together with other players in the industry in an effort to
legitimatize the popular Web site.

Napster is in talks to enlist other record companies, including the four other
majors Sony, EMI Group, Warner Music and Universal.

Hi to all!
You know how you put something you value away in a *special place* so it won't get lost? And then, when you really need that thing, you forget where you put it? Well, when we packed our stuff to move, I put a few cds in a separate place so I could get at them...
It's been 3 solid months since I've heard Two Against Nature - but I just found it! I'm going to listen to it shortly. Maybe it will feel like the first time, the very first time. I'll let ya know!
RoyScam: That's a great point about "Don't Let Me In" being a perfect sequel song to "Jack of Speed." I think I'm going make a new SD cd for my car and put DLMI just after JOS. You're a genius!! The contrast of the music, but the related themes will be awesome!

Ken Burns: 45 seconds on 'Kind of Blue,' 4.5 minutes on how Miles beat his wife, 7.5 minutes on Louis Armstrong's first heart attack. Bo-do-bop-bed-de-bop!

Does anyone remember a song from the 50's or 60's called
"Zombie Jamboree" ? It was an up-tempo Caribbean sounding number, I
think recorded by The Kingston Trio. It had the lines,
"Back to back, belly to belly.
Well I don't give a damn cause I've done that already."
Anyway, the song "Two Against Nature" always makes me think of it. I
guess I just like supernatural, happy sounding dance numbers involving dead
people.
Two more insignificant
observations which I voice here, in hopes that someone will agree and thus
validate my cyber existence:
1) "Don't Let Me In" , though written decades ago, would be a good
sequel to "Jack of Speed". Sort of like saying. 'Teddy's back and he's
pleading, but don't listen to him; his skates are still stuck in reverse.'
2) The first ten seconds of "Negative Girl" sounds like a Miles Davis
record.
May your backs and bellies align with each other's in all permutations of rhythmic celebrations,

this is what brings us here, a nice little break, spandex jackets for everyone - see blaise, i did not forget, i'm happily married, but even us women doin it all with confidence and flair need to be told a dress looks better off than on, even if it's not real. odd, yes i know, it is a little odd- but have i ever been normal here, no, no, for THAT is reserved for the real world.....

In the Birmingham Sunday Mercury (7th Jan 2001)
Worker Dead at Desk for 5 Days
Bosses of a publishing firm are
trying to work out why no one noticed that
one of their employees had been sitting dead at his desk for FIVE DAYS
before anyone asked if he was feeling okay. George Turklebaum, 51, who had
been employed as a proof-reader at a New York firm for 30 years, had a
heart
attack in the open-plan office he shared with 23 other workers. He quietly
passed away on Monday, but nobody noticed until Saturday morning when an
office cleaner asked why he was still working during the weekend. His boss
Elliot Wachiaski said "George was always the first guy in each morning and
the last to leave at night, so no one found it unusual that he was in the
same position all that time and didn't say anything. He was always
absorbed in his work and kept much to himself."
A post mortem examination revealed
that he had been dead for five days
after
suffering a coronary. Ironically, George was proofreading manuscripts of
medical textbooks when he died. You may want to give your co-workers a
nudge occasionally.

Don't understand why you choose to post anonymous to say
this. Nobody else goes "LOL" like that... kinda gives you up...
When I first came in (seems like years ago but it wasn't that long ago in
relative terms), the first one who welcomed me in a sympathetic way was... Clas.
Maybe that's why I can't bring myself to hate the guy's guts the way others do
around here.
It was a tad harder back then to feel welcomed. Sorry but, in all fairness, the
asshole amigo did have a point there. Luckily, things have changed. A lot more
newcomers back then would disappear out of being ignored. I was guilty of that
myself.
My take.
where's wormy anyway? burned out and bitter? lol

hmmm, aa - your handle really is a cover for a previous name, isn't it? - let's scroll through the archives and see who has not posted in a long time......NOT! you need to relax, have a little fun, take a break from yourself - i like this 'community' and i like welcoming a newbie (w/ tests), when i came here last summer it took a month before anyone noticed my handle either, so does that mean i treat others that way? that's like previous generations of US immigrants treating new US immigrants like crap because they were - they have a word for that, oh i know, it's IGNORANT, yes that's it....but actually where are the veterans? in the florida room, you there?....and when i post lines from sd, they're from memory, not from "albums and lyrics" (with exception to finding driving references that twm (?) started)
blaise, you can shine my shoes anyday dearie, so are you just jealous of my flirtation with ygk?
speaking of which: YGK, yes i'm there, i need a martini and quiet conversation yes - for i just had this silly meeting with the, oh wait, not supposed to discuss our job on this site (unless your'e a musician, of course), that's right - anyway, i have this new lovely cocktail dress with just the right amount of cleavage i was saving for the march dan-fest, but maybe i'll go put it on for our date, okay 5PM your time okay?

I am looking forward to it and I am also looking forward to meeting some of you Steely Dan devotees. It's nice to know that there are people out there who are as obsessed with this band as I am.

"A community of dan fans"? It used to be,
maybe. Quoting lines from the SD catalog did not always suffice, darling. Look
at blaize or the wurm, since you mention them. These two dolts had to wait
months, litterally posting tons of SD-related material, offering countless
scoops, insights and picking up babbling newbies by the side of the road before
even being acknowledge as existing at all and ending up burned out and bitter.
Back then, this community was more exclusive, mostly made up of Virginians, a
few folks from Seattle, a handful of other americans and a couple of odd swedes
thrown in for good measure. Nowadays, newbies are welcomed right away and impose
themselves more easily, however inane and unsubstantial their contribution. You
have it easy, newbies. Never forget that , be thankful for your good fortune and
pay your respect to those who had to earn it the hard way. And if you don't know
who they are, do your homework. There was life here before you were born, you
ungrateful little handles.

to add to the anon thingy - we are all anonmyous posters here in a way- very few of us post under our "real" names but have taken on some kind of a handle to id ourselves, but it is not the same ID as on our driver's license. so, really, aa, since you post as aa, we know who you are - aa, and it's not anonymous
what gets confusing in here is when people post under another's recognized handle or when there's too many alphabet soup chef's are out there (ala the aa, bb, cc thread that was going on last month [?]) or under no name at all (a personal irritant)
but for me, i post under the obscure celebrity/cartoon character thingy at times, but you all know it's me, right? who else is that twisted? wait, don't answer that
okay back to saving the world - today from poor legal writing
and to the average steely dan fan that posted last week about postings that irritate? my response: the weather is bleak in new england today, my husband's job is great, but he's getting a little burnt out, i'm considering a cyber-fling-posting thread today with ygk with a very public break-up tomorrow, the leftover chili from the superbowl party i had last night was great, and, finally - chat rooms do not lend themselves to lengthy conversation, this place does, get used to it or scroll on by - this is a community of steely dan fans that post on the occasion of which we please, if we talked about steely dan every posting, it would be boring and it would not have that community feel or rather a splat of a an opinion - oh, more thing:
listen to the wind blow
watch the sun rise
run in the shadows
damn your love
damn your lies
and if
you don't love me now
you will never love me again

The intellectual posturing (your term, remember, not mine) is actually quite interesting, and I am not quite concerned about table manners right this minute (do you type with your mouth open?).
Swedish ginger cookies are best purchased in bulk, as our esteemed Donald and Walter can attest. I cannot count myself among the ranks of surly D&D employees (I am gainfully employed, though), I would guess you'd have to pay the same reasonable prices as the rest of us.
However, I might treat you to one. Or perhaps two. We have our limits, though.

It sure seems that way, lady B.
Nevertheless, abusing someone's handle is an occurrence that cannot be prevented
if one is determined to behave in such evil-spirited manner. Posting anon rules
out a certain lack of cybercourtesy and confusion. For it is known the handles
used in cybercommunication do indicate some kind of faith in one's identity as
given. Any abuse will set off a leap of faith.
Anon postings such as mine are free from abusing handles.
We should be welcomed, not discarded!
