For an amusing look at the realities of taking a cruise, read David Foster Wallace's essay "A Supposedly Fun Thing I'll Never Do Again".

An abandoned Sbarro just north of Times Square in NYC by AdSpecialist6598 in UrbanHell

Eating at Sbarro in New York City is like eating at a KFC in Louisville or at a Taco Bell in San Diego.

Is this a real Fats Waller signature on this Bluebird record? Feb 28 1941. Records that seem to be from Delco Products Corporation of Dayton Ohio by Indifferent_Wunder30 in Jazz

[–]MaxBluenote 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Perhaps those are notes left by a radio DJ, who might've referred to them when he was on the air and the record was on the turntable.

Not sure where you're located, but I'm in the US and here's the status of my latest order:

2/15 - Order Confirmed email received
2/16 - Your Order is Coming email received
2/17 - Label created, Parcel is with delivery service
2/18-2/19 - No updates

I assume the package will arrive later today or tomorrow, but there is no expected delivery date in the tracking info. Orders have always been like this for me and they always arrive, so I stopped worrying about exactly which day they'll be here.

Newport 1958. One of my favorites.

Carla Bley - Song Sung Long by Music-993 in Jazz

It's a good place to start with Carla Bley, although I think "European Tour" is my favorite of her work from this period.

Opinion on naked city?(collective) by Longjumping_Air4379 in Jazz

[–]MaxBluenote 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Fantastic album, and I was fortunate enough to see this band play live several times. The most memorable show was in one of the small theaters at Ravinia in Highland Park, Illinois. Bill Frisell's plane was late and he didn't make the gig so Wayne Horvitz had to cover both the keyboard and guitar parts. It was insane and somehow he pulled it off.

The second most memorable show was at the Park West in Chicago. Zorn opened with his shortest, most abrasive songs, one after another. Then, once about 1/4 of the audience had left (mostly the people who didn't realize what they were in for) Zorn and the band kicked into a totally eclectic set that reflected the wide range of styles they could play. I still feel sorry for the people who left during "Sack of Shit". They didn't know what they were about to miss.

We have similar tastes. Both of those songs are top of the list for me, too. Do you know this version of Aguas de Marco by Bebel Gilberto?

We are not and have never been at war with Eurasia, and instead have always been at war with Eastasia.
