Please. (Mebbe I forgot that last time.) I like some jazz, but I have to admit to not "getting" the less melodic stuff. The stuff I enjoy the most is the stuff that is the most melodic. That said, I'm willing to experiment, so don't take that as a hard-and-fast rule for recommendations -- just qualify. Please. I'm thinking I really need to see "Straight No Chaser" (the movie executive produced by Clint Eastwood). I picked up Brilliant Corners and ...with John Coltrane on SACD, what else should I get? Does he have any "Deluxe Editions", or should I stick with the RVG's?

Except that teachers are the ones writing the tests. What if they write the tests so that they have to curve? The most extreme example I can think of was one teacher I had at UMCP whose test had 4 questions: 1 was easy; 2 were hard; and 1 was impossible, so most of the grades went from 25-75% in an almost straight bell curve instead of 50-100%. He even explained himself that he liked it more spread out. One time he screwed up and made 2 questions well nigh impossible. Median grade on that one was 27 -- I got around 50 or 60 I think. It was my first test with him, and I was almost crying (I had never done that badly on a test before) until other people started talking to me (two girls -- ended up with many late night "study sessions" with both of them) and explained to me that I had one of the highest grades in the class, if not the highest.

It's the rapture.

hirsch, thrice, stevieo and I have all heard them, and I think the other three actually owned them for a while. They were a rather special headphone, but I never got into it, and don't really remember it that well. They might; I don't know, you'd have to ask them.

Pffft.

I have A Go Go and the Medeski Martin & Wood collaboration under the name Medeski Scofield Martin & Wood, Out Louder, and enjoy them both immensely from a musical standpoint (I love fusion). What else should I get next?

A subconscious reference to our childhood, perhaps ("glow balls")?

How about Radiohead? J/K...

He might've been, I'll let him answer for himself, though. Also: Kimber PBJ, but they can have a hint of edge with the wrong systems.

I'll second the Cardas Neutral Ref recommendation. I don't know how "syrupy" they are, but they are warm without erring on the side of veiled.

Does that mean you finally have amplification, speakers, and wires, all set up together correctly? Huzzah.

I demand live feed!

I have globs of money, but they're mostly ones...and they're wrinkled, and sometimes if I've had Chinese recently, they stick together. Seriously: how much?

Awesome. What do you play? My first instrument (in both senses of the word, 'first') is the piano, but I play a lot of synthesizers.

Nodoze, then.

You know, you don't have to read every fucking thread on Head-Case. I know I certainly don't want to get a case of induced narcolepsy.

You and me both, dude. Too bad it doesn't come in black.

You're a musician? I go to my own concerts, as well. I am my own favourite musician.

Alright, we'll take lolcats to the next level: loljesus:

I had a fling with a Canadian chick once. Chicks >>> dollars any day of the week.

I approve.
