  1. wikipedia shows no match for rosetta as a spice. As far as fictional spices go, I guess that's up to phishtaper who started the theme. But who knows if we'll get a ruling in fair time? "Follow your heart Pedro, that's what I do."
  2. http://www.nemsworld.com/beatles/67pp/party.htm
  3. These pictures were taken at the press release party for Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band on June 1, 1967. It was here that McCartney met his wife-to-be Linda Eastman. Each and every member of the band were totally flying on LSD at this event.
  4. PLEASE NOTE: As of March 23, 2007 The Beatles remain the best band ever.

  7. good idea, I did just that so it's now at the first post of this thread. But it hasn't been updated since March 17th. No, I don't believe mental illness had been covered yet. Which is insane!

    What is Jazz?

    what I got from Moses' letter is that jazz is more than just a musical genre but an all-encompassing WAY OF LIFE that makes no distinction between sleeping, eating, driving, reading and playing your instrument. It's also rooted in respect and tradition and the search for an individual voice. So if that's his take - and I think he's right to have it - then he is right to be dismayed by a lot of what he hears and sees. When he speaks of musicians coming to blows with each other because they cut each other off mid-solo, he's really suggesting that it's a serious game and if you don't want to LIVE it, get the fuck off the bandstand.
  9. I just switched to decaf in the past two weeks. I definitely feel better.

  11. We have this cd. I like it. But I'm not sure it's an "epochal work" and that they "do it all... better than most" but it is enjoyable. It just is what it is = pretty good overall. Still, glad you dig it shain.

  13. Thank you Misters Garcia, Weir, Mydland, Lesh, Kreutzmann and Hart for bringing me the message of music seventeen years ago today. You'll never know the effect you had on my 15 year old mind but here I am still, listening to your magic. http://www.archive.org/details/gd90-03-22.sbd.bertha-ashley.21433.sbeok.shnf

    What is Jazz?

    I think people take jazz too lightly, like they can just start "improvising" and it's jazz. Jazz is a language, a mode of musical conversation that takes years of humble and focused study to master. Bob Moses is bang fucking on as far as I'm concerned.
