Thanks for the propers Big Stacks! My posting has plummeted since I started working a 9-5, and then dropped again when I switched positions from Marketing to Logistics/Business Software & Implementation/SQL stuff... I still try to readup on my …

I've enjoyed the details about ABC Execs and how they worked with Bob Thiele, Creed Taylor, and other people at Impulse. It's amazing that such a high level of quality was maintained for so many albums over the course of 10+ years. I've been wantin…

Currently reading "The House That Trane Built: The Story of Impulse Records". It's a great book, a lot of interesting history about Impulse. There are 2-page anecdotes throughout the book detailing certain albums that give some background info about…

Hey Big Stacks, I had a reply all set and typed, then left my desk for a bit and 'poof' ... reply form is no longer valid. In brief: Great Lakes Records sold their entire stock to a store overseas. However, they kept a lot of stuff for themselve…

I found yesterday morning on the radio. I just sat in the car for a bit, stunned. He'll be missed, but his music will live on forever.

All done.

Well done Big Stacks!

Hey Big Stacks, That's a good point. Parts of Wisconsin (ie Madison) are quite progressive, but you're absolutely right - there's A LOT of room for improvement, especially on the racial issues you've mentioned. I guess since voting NO on the marr…

Hey Big Stacks, It's looking good for Doyle and Falk - same as Herb Kohl. That's all great news. But I'm bummed...the marriage referendum is going to pass, and so is the death penalty referendum. The good thing is that if Doyle is elected he's anti…

I'm concerned for Denver. Don't worry Batmon, they play Milwaukee on Saturday, in Milwaukee. I was thinking about going to the game because I haven't been to one yet this year and I figured if I'm going to go see the Bucks get beat (badly) it may as…

ODub, I just perused the website and read about a few features I didn't know about: - Saves in MP3 when the LAME framework is installed - Automator support (launch Automator to see the bundled actions) Have you by chance installed the LAME framew…

Hey ODub, Same here - I've been using Sound Studio ever since I purchased a Mac. Prior to that, I was using Cool Edit/Audition. I didn't need much in the way of features, since I use it to record vinyl side A/side B as AIFF files, then break them d…

I read the subject line, and before clicking the link to read the posts I thought of Sweetback. It seems generally agreed upon that it was the first blaxploitation film. When I was in college I took some film classes, one had a book that's worth re…

Hello, I don't have time to provide detailed addresses for these spots, so you'll have to go to white pages for specifics. Milwaukee Spots: Lotus Land Records - Definitely stop out here. Andy and John are both good people, and Tom (who used to ha…

Phill, I saw the commercial this afternoon. First thing came to mind was the Disco 3 12" Human Beat Box/Fat Boys. I know that's been sampled before, for example Dynomite D. for the "By The Way" album on a song called ... wait for it ... Stick 'Em. …

There was a shop (more of a warehouse) that's now closed, and it had shelves upon shelves of 101 Strings LPs. One trip out there I took it upon myself to look through them all to see if they had any Astro-Sounds. They did not. I always check out 1/2…

I'm listening to Me Against the World here at work. I read a story in the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel about it being 10 years since his death and I realized wow, it's been a decade already.

more info? ATCQ will be in Milwaukee this Saturday the 16th. I'm guessing the HoB is similar to the Milwaukee venue's description: By fusing hip-hop with jazz, A Tribe Called Quest jump-started and perfected the hip-hop alternative to hardcore and …

I was a junior at UW-Milwaukee, working second shift and used to sleeping in late on couch in my folk's basement. That morning I received a phone call from a friend asking if I could believe what was going on... I told him no - that in fact I just w…

Rest In Peace. Much respect and love to you and the family Sween.

That's a possibility ... probably the least expensive of the possibilities, at that.

Thanks for the reply. I bought it in March of 05. What throws me is that it was working fine the last time I burned CDs and I didn't do anything different this time. So how it just 'lost' the fact that I have a Superdrive installed has me baffled. …

That's a bummer. I saw him perform back in high school, this would have been in 1994 or 1995. I had no idea what to expect but my friends and I really enjoyed the show. RIP MF Horn!

My favorite Hitchcock flick is Psycho. It seems like at least once a year I go on a bit of a Hitchcock kick and I'll want to watch a bunch of his films in a short amount of time. I've watched recently: - Shadow of a Doubt - The Lodger - Rear Window…

But yeah...i haven't been a fan of Lieberman since his "first amendment ballyhoo" back in the '00 elections. He was a big reason a didn't vote for Gore... I agree. With Al Gore and Joe Lieberman I was worried about how they'd interpret the first ame…

This album is great.
