Currently watching it spit snow and rain while working on projects around the house. And I'm pretty sure I just heard thunder... I think thunder snow is a precursor to a sharknado.

I love that there is some serious back and forth and Larry busts out the screenshots "Fuck you" "No, fuck you" "Here's a helpful testimonial" .jpg .jpg "No, really, fuck you, you cunt" "12 parsecs" Fuck, I love this place.

Waiting to see the Adrian Belew Power Trio.

Met a tall man in a pub with old beams and low ceilings, because: irony. Discussed media consumption habits of the young and aging parents. Made a nice break from the merry go round of family obligation's. Cheers 'stretch. Enjoy your time in the old country, and your "honorary mother" title. Judging by how well behaved your son was, you deserve it. As its turned dark and chilly, time for a small indulgence in the form of a cuppa and a "shortie"

That would be a normal bias Lambda then... with a 5 pin cable.

You wouldn't like to spend that kind of cash on headphones just based on Yago's opinions

Want. EDIT: (wanders off to look up price) US$700?!?!?!? Don't want.

WTF ever, Wayne... you know I'm the world's 7th tallest Mexican. **BRENT**

Maple Bacon doughnut with coffee!

Glad you're feeling better - finally! - Dusty. Echo the Belew enthusiasm..... Me: wife and son joined me for dinner at this new-ish restaurant in the next town. Small stage there, and this pretty young lady comes and sets up with a wooden-body electric guitar. Thinking another folkie, going to sing about relationships or her dog or something. She belts out an awesome blues song as her first, and goes to 60's rock/soul after that. Some good classic rock sound. We could only stay for ~5 songs, but I am now a fan of MB Padfield

Also if you are charging it from your hackintosh, don't.

12 parsecs

Well if you had looked in the first Google result it says 3 hours. Also, quit being a cunt.

3 hours, per the google search above. Not sure what else you wanted, but it's clearly there.

Double post. Thanks Obama.

Mine is on my iPad.

Great, by then I will be prepped to go out on the trail with only my knife and survive. Maybe some toilet paper.

I'm sorry but I think you misheard, that was "ornery mofo". Was good to see you too -- sorry for the runaround and enjoy the few days off from family obligations!

WTF? I haven't had any issue like that in all the time I've been owning the 009, more than 3 years already, but it's true that they haven't suffered anything like "heavy use" as in more than 5-6 hours of playing in a row. Let's see what you find out

sea change dsd off a flash card this is definitely not a downgrade. oh boy.

This week at SF Jazz, we saw some jazzy classical and some classy classical jazz. On Wednesday we saw the Calder Quartet with Christian McBride, performing Bartok's quartet nos. 1 and 4. The quartet played #1 themselves and it sounded amazing in Miner Auditorium. Then Christian McBride came out and improvised for awhile on his own, which was good as always even if a little incongruous for the program. All five came out for the second half of the show, which featured quartet #4. There are five movements, which were played just by the Calders, but in between each movement the Calders and/or Christian would play an interlude. They were some short early pieces by Bartok called Microcosmos, something by another composer I am spacing, and some improvisations as well. Finally, they all played Bartok' Romanian Dance together. All in all, a really nice program. Last night, we saw The Cookers, and it is hard to imagine another group with this much jazz history on one stage today: Billy Hart (drums), Cecil McBee (bass), Eddie Henderson (trumpet), David Weiss (trumpet), Billy Harper (tenor sax), Donald Harrison (alto sax), and George Cables (piano). They were on fire from rehearsal (according to SF Jazz folks) through their two sets that totaled almost 2.5 hours. They are playing 11 cities in 14 days to promote their new album, which they pulled from for the second set. The first set had amazing renditions of Cecil McBee's Peace Maker, Billy Harper's Croquet Ballet (originally recorded with Lee Morgan), and a Freddie Hubbard tune. Powerful stuff that had some old timers in the audience fleeing due to high decibel levels and the blast of the trumpets and saxes. I was in the fourth row and leaned in most of the time. As an indication that this was a special night, Bobby Hutcherson was in attendance and stayed and clapped with his oxygen canula in place all the way through the incredible encore, Billy Harper's Priestess (with amazing bass intro by Cecil McBee and drum solo by Billy Hart). Seriously good stuff.

Back from the Monterey Jazz Festival. It was one of the best years yet (been going since 1997). Real standouts for me: Cecile McLorin Salvant (with Aaron Diehl on piano) was the first act on the main stage. She totally blew everyone away! Don't miss her if she's in your neighborhood. Great voice and amazing musicianship! Billy Childs Laura Nyro tribute album. Just pure emotion! Probably not for everyone but it sure was for me. Jon Batiste & Stay Human performed a sort of a New Orleans styled collage Sunday afternoon that was too joyous to put into words. Put a smile on everyones faces! Brian Blade Fellowship Band. Some great conceptual stuff and there's something about the way that Blade hits the beats that really drives a piece. Need to look a little deeper into that. Blade and Eric Harland were drumming all over the place with different acts but speaking of Harland,.. Eric Harland Voyager was the last group to play in one of the smaller venues. I guess I shoulda known that I was in for something special when a bunch of the other "cutting edge" player/composers started showing up (Jason Moran was right in front of me, Gregory Clayton was standing in the wings etc.). Aside from downright scary musicianship, that band took us into unknown territory (hence the name?). It was nice to see Moran hooting as loud as I was when it all ended.
