  1. A recent jazz release of an old school old times performer: Charlie Mingus More than 4 hours of music recorded in 1973 for live radio broadcast, 5CDs set titled Jazz in Detroit/Strata Concert Gallery/46 Selden. A review is available at Allaboutjazz and it can be listened to on Tidal It may not be the best Mingus' ensemble, but I've been going through this not getting bored a single tune, I'm just 4 tracks from the end, I skipped the interview.
  2. The girl in the right side got a sloppy face job. Or had low budget. Somehow her character is a muppet too.
  3. This. It sounds much better than she trying to play games.
  4. This. All this stupid ununderstandable killing is damn sad.
  5. Andrew Cyrille, Wadada Leo Smith, Bill Frisell - LebrobaAvailable on Tidal and Spotify Amazingly lyrical and enjoyable set of tunes, especially considering the at times overwhelming freeness of Wadada.
  6. Yes that I googled, but I don't get the fun part of the sack (or cojones as we would say) thing, probably for not having ever watched anything featuring him. Whatever, it must be one of those weeks for me.
  7. I'd need a lot of background on that guy to get the joke. The forklift one was more in my league
  8. Condolences, Brent. I’m sorry for your loss.
  9. Roy Hargrove. Only 49. Awesome trumpetist. He'll be missed.
  10. Awful. Have a speedy recovery. Best wishes
  11. I think I haven't listened to Children's Songs, so I'll check it, thanks for the recommendation, Dusty. I wasn't a Corea's fan until a couple of years ago. I've always appreciated his virtuosity and his harmonic proveness, he's a beast of unpredictability. At times I could hear what you mention, that melodic lyricism, but on albums like "Now he sings, now he sobs" and his stuff with Return to Forever and Miles, I found some sort of lack of focus which made me feel more like he was showing off than making enjoyable music. It's difficult to explain, however now that I've learnt some music theory and my listening skills have evolved, I can enjoy him a lot more. Maybe it's not as much his evolution as a player as mine as a listener
  12. An interesting live performance by Chick Corea The last few Corea's outputs made me think of those Picasso's words "As a child I painted like Michelangelo, but it took me all life to draw like a child". Corea always played virtuoso piano, and has evolved through many styles, but it's lately when he, in my opinion, is playing wonderful simple music.
  13. Are you waiting for Birgir's comments or Brazilnut's ban? I'm in for both.
  14. Read the first post in this page, kind of said it. To make matters worse Carvajal is injured, so the right side has been a hole for the first half. Lopetegui will be replaced, and things will improve a bit for a while, but the problem is rather deep, starting with the president and his ginormous ego. He should have listened to Zidane Now we have a bunch of players that aren't that good (like Isco), we've spent a lot of money in a goalkeeper that we didn't really need, and he's probably going to spend 600M in refurbishing the stadium instead of bringing the players that Zidane wanted to make the team keeping the pace after Cristiano left. Considering becoming an Atlético fan
  15. Thelonious Monk - Mønk It's on Tidal, from a live performance in 1963 in Denmark. Pretty swinging
  16. The forties are wonderful. Happy Birthday!!
  17. the other place must be closed.
  18. I don't use Chrome much on the mobile devices, it looked to me as if it didn't have the bookmarks or passwords, but looking more carefully looks like everything is online, so that wouldn't be a problem. Thanks for the tip. The time machine backup is into an external HDD so if unplugged it shouldn't interfere with the clean install unless I decided that I'd like to import settings from it. I was MS beta-tester for a couple of years so on Windows I had a good protocol to save all required settings and folders, including register entries, to get all working after each clean install of every new beta version. I don't have such control on a Mac Despite that I'm more satisfied with OSX than I ever was with Windows, despite not having a Mac version for all the tasks I used to perform. Foobar for instance is better (more convenient, I'm not speaking about sound quality) than any playback software for Mac.
  19. you don't really get that this is not the kind of forum you believe. Please, read this and try to slow down (or simply cut off) your asking silly things.
  20. Thanks again, Steve. My system has both folders in the App Support an utorrent and a ?torrent. The last one is empty. I'm concerned Mac utorrent (the software) would use that pile of .torrent files into the utorrent folder as the list of files it's sharing. Thing is that I took a look into the .plist file and didn't see anything like a list of files, although such list could be into any of the other files that being .data and the like I don't know how to look into them. Maybe I shouldn't get rid of the .torrent files in the App Support until seeing if the program keeps working normally. In my preferences I don't have any backup or moving finished files into predetermined folders, I'm keeping a folder structure which allows me to keep the .torrent files (in the event a re-check is needed) and the data files so I know what I got and from where. Some are perfectly legal, others not that much , but I like sharing them as long as possible. There's a lot of other stuff that I'd need to sort out like passwords (I don't use password management software), activation codes of purchased programs, Chrome settings (I'm not sure my favourite links and such are kept at Google's), etc. I don't even know what would happen with software I'm in the trial period. So this raises a question, if I get another Mac computer, a new one, importing all those settings directly from Time Machine into the new one would somewhat overload and fill up of shit the new system?
  21. Happy Birthday, Dusty!!!
  22. Thanks for your patience and dedication, Steve. I had made a couple of OSX versions ago the ∼/Library folder visible on Finder, but it looks like it stopped being accessible. It's not a folder I check with any frequency. Using the "Go" menu I got there. For the last modification date I'm guessing that the filelist keeping the files information is in the com.bittorrent.utorrent.plist file. The other folders one is keeping a few thousands of .torrent files, it must be some sort of backup since the ones I've downloaded are kept in an external HDD with the data files. The other one is empty. I've found a third folder which might contain relevant data to the program since all of its three files have been changed yesterday. It's the com.bittorrent.uTorrent.savedState which is into the Saved Application State folder. I guess I should be keeping and then transplanting all those folders into the ∼/Library folder once the system is reinstalled.
  23. That's the issue, I spent yesterday some time looking for that. I have no such "utorrent" folder anywhere to be found. There's not even a .plist file or similar with a name suggesting to be utorrent related the only utorrent file is utorren.app in the applications folder. AFAIK Mac computers don't have it, Windows do, I know first hand. The only thing that could help to find the file keeping the seeding files list would be another applications that monitored what file changes when you add or delete a file in utorrent.
