  1. The Nels Cline Singers -- Initiate
  2. Tons of Peterson/Pedersen on Pablo Records. Always find them in the used record bins for real cheap.
  3. Kaki King -- Junior
  4. Natalie Merchant -- Leave Your Sleep
  5. If you buy two more iPads, upon receipt there will be an immediate announcement by Apple that they were just kidding with that MBP refresh notice. The real MBP will be 13", with an i7 stock, and a new carbon fiber body that weighs 1.5 lbs. Oh, and it comes with a free iPad even though the price will be lower than the prior 13" Macbook.
  6. Some good choices already, of course, and Ron Carter and NHOP are among the tops. I think of all these guys as great contemporary bassists, although I am not sure all meet your Ray Brown criteria, per se. Christian McBride -- Live at Tonic, Kind of Brown Eric Revis -- Tales of a Stuttering Mind; Branford Marsalis Quartet (Metamorphosen, Braggtown, Requiem, Contemporary Jazz); Jeff Tain Watts (Citizen Tain, Bar Talk) Matt Penman -- SF Jazz Collective Greg Cohen -- Ornette Coleman Quartet (Sound Grammar); John Zorn/Masada (multiple); Tom Waits (multiple) Harald Johnson and Mats Eilertsen -- Tord Gustavsen Trio
  7. Great conference. You security/antivirus folks are wild!
  8. ^^Nice. Andrew Hill & Chico Hamilton -- Dreams Come True
  9. Erik Friedlander -- Broken Arm Trio
  10. Yeah!
  11. John Medeski -- Razin Rim I Lev
  12. But just for a short time, though, right? I thought you bought/traded for some other HF-2s or something.
  13. How long does it take to convert to tank mode, Haj?
  14. Kaki King -- Everybody Loves You
  15. Voltron

    slow forum

    No, Dixar.
  16. Glen Phillips -- Winter Pays For Summer
  17. Wenge is an awesome word. Those cups look tits, Nate.
  18. Wut? Did you sell your set? Cool. Claire is liking her hybrid version.
  19. Another new car? Wow, congrats. Is it an RX 350 or an LX something? Jeff was just talking about the LX 470 yesterday but I haven't seen one of them yet.
  20. The iPads at the Apple Store were disgusting. Just think of the germs being transmitted with all those people fingering them. Eww. Reminds me of something a friend of mine overheard on a plane from India. The man in the seat ahead of him was hitting the flight attendant call button on and off for awhile without reaction. When someone finally showed up, he said "I have been fingering the stewardess for over an hour and she is not yet coming." Not quite as funny without his excellent accent, but you get the idea.
  21. Jeff/VPI and I went to the Giants opening day game until the 9th inning and followed the remaining four innings from City Beer where we had some Pliny but also some Burton Baton (1st for both of us). We strolled to the Haight and we are having dinner at RNM. Toronado for afters perhaps.
  22. Hell of a haul, Deepak. Nice.
  23. Not sure if it is true, but I have the understanding that if you have only n devices on the network it will be faster if you have n plus b/g devices.
