  1. I don't know, Ric, I'm just an old grump wondering if his whole life has any sense after 40 years caring for people that most likely don't deserve it. I'm not "judging" Ann Hamilton's art or 40 years of career, just her idea of taking pictures from an in-mouth camera. But I swear that one of the things that I find most difficult these days is not being judgmental. Even not being opinionated it too hard.
  2. Happy New Year!!!
  3. People are so eager of relevance and notoriety that can develop the craziest pinnacle of absurdity. Come on, really?
  4. That could be Spain, I didn't manage to see the letter to the left over the blue ribbon in the license plate. Besides the acceleration I didn't find it especially unique.
  5. Jon Batiste - Beethoven Blues You can find it at most streaming services and Qobuz (I still don't get why Odesli won't link Qobuz pages). TBH I listened to it yesterday and mostly to please a friend who had listened to it and thought it is awesome. I always have certain prevention against jazz or pop albums trying to make something worthy from classical music, especially the one that I find the work of a genius. As much as I tend to dislike pop/jazz/rock played in a classical arrangement, like those abominations of The Beatles for string quartet. This album is something else, yet not fully to my liking. I enjoyed very much a couple of tunes, others were just fine and there were like three that could have been not recorded. If someone listens to it, I'd love reading your thoughts.
  6. How do you see/check that? Thread and comment Id numbers are much larger. If that's because my opinion is anathema... it's OK, I like Keira as an actress in other roles and she's kind of pretty.
  7. I watched two episodes, sometimes shows need the benefit of the doubt for they get better into the season. This wasn't the case. For me one of the failures is that I can't believe Keira Knightley delivering such tough punches and kicks. I didn't make through the second season of the Diplomat either. The first season was just OK and had hopes the second was going to be entertaining, but I got bored by the end of the first episode. I'm getting old I guess.
  8. ¡Feliz cumpleaños, Ric!. I wish you're enjoying this Christmas day and your own birthday as thoroughly as the date deserves. I guess the age displayed in the front page reminder isn't really the truth
  9. Happy Birthday and Merry Christmas. I hope the celebration is huge. ¡Felicidades!
  10. They seem drunk before starting.
  11. Looks like there was a Black Friday release on CD in 2016 that can be found "elsewhere".
  12. This morning, after reading the year's best jazz albums chosen by a newspaper "expert" I listened to The Attic & Eve Risser - La Grande Crue Too free and avantgarde for my taste. Then to clean the sadness for not being able to listen to a single whole tune: Keith Jarrett and two very talented guys - The Old Country This is something that I not only can listen, but also enjoying deeply.
  13. I feel myself more an X than a boomer. I clearly live worse than my father despite having higher grades.
  14. ¡Feliz cumpleaños, Todd! I wish you a great one.
  15. Opeth - Last Will and Testament Not bad. Wife came to ask if I had joined some satanic cult.
  16. I had a couple of Canon P&S, they made very nice looking pictures, the color to my eyes seemed very natural, but both died from the same mechanical issue. The zoom lens wouldn't come off the body. Were I to give a P&S these days to a rookie photographer, I think my choice would be a Sony RX100V. The V has a wider aperture than the VII, so better low light performance. It has an EVF and a flash, and can be found new for less around 800€, so in the US probably below $800.
  17. Happy Birthday!!!
  18. Happy cumpleaños, John!!!
  19. ^I watched that one some time ago and I don't even remember what it was about. I'm getting old I guess. This is one of the most upsetting things I've watched in some time
  20. Joni Mitchell - Shadows and Light (Live) I'm not a fan of Joni, I'm sorry. She has a beautiful voice, her compositions are very original and personal, and I'm sure she deserves the recognition and following she earned, but for some reason she doesn't speak to me. However this album is something else. Still feels a bit like pretentious music to me, but that band... OMG!!
  21. Happy Birthday, Mikey!!!
  22. He can drive and he has got that good luck belonging to the champions. That red flag right before he needed to swap tyres was a godsend that helped the mediocre Alpines. But the lot of people off the race that did not finish gives an idea of the track conditions yesterday.
  23. All this happened last Tuesday. Looks like it becomes interesting or remarkable when the deaths account is over 200.
  24. I wasn't expecting any coverage in the US.
  25. Happy Birthday!!!
