I think the tracks from To the Bone (which didn't really do all that much for me) work better interspersed with the other tracks, and I really dig the track, "People Who Eat Darkness" as sung by Ninet. He plays several tracks that would have made me very happy -- "Ancestral", "Arriving Somewhere But Not Here", "Sleep Together", "Even Less". I'm actually tempted to go up to Philly at the end of November to see him, though I'm sure it will be an entirely different setlist by then.

Is that the one with a note of Anise to it?

I actually really liked my AudioValve RKV headphone amp. ? And I believe Helmut actually is the CEO.

Bourbon is made from corn -- perhaps make sure there's no corn in the mash of whatever whisk(e)y you drink. Or stick to (mostly) 100% rye, like I do. Mostly.

Why don't you just get one super-wide one? ?

I definitely agree with you regarding his work with Miles, and yes, most of his Return to Forever work, but Romantic Warrior is a standout. (The first three tracks are from that album. The other two are from Al Di Meola albums.) And I will admit to not being familiar with his entire catalog, but lyrical melodicism ( ) is top notch when it's there.

I love Chick Corea. One of the things I have always loved about his music is his melodies -- Medieval Overture, Romantic Warrior, Duel of the Jester and the Tyrant, Señor Mouse, Isfahan, etc. -- he always had a lyricism to his melodies that I much prefer to the more abstract jazzes. But he's done "simple" before -- specifically, the album that woke me up to his melodies, I rented from the library once and almost never returned it (I now have my own copy), Children's Songs. Definitely check it out if this interests you. I need to revisit Leprechaun and My Spanish Heart. I seem to remember they were particularly melodious as well, but I don't remember them that well, so I could be remembering wrong. So...thanks for sharing!

Heal well and quickly!

Prolly somewhere between rubbing alcohol and appletini

(makes a note of it) I haven't read anything like Tim Powers, so I will definitely give him a go.

...or an excellent choice.

I just couldn't figure out how to do it, otherwise I would.

Pictures, we want pictures.

The Avalanches make the greatest music videos.

What does she keep saying? "I'm your man"? No you ain't. Me: looking forward to the remixes.

Want. And I just got an old Mac Mini a couple months ago.

Happy belated! (party favour noise)

This makes me giggle like a 5th grader

I saw boobies.
