Now that The Souljazz Orchestra won't be doing its Thursday night weekly show at Babylon in Ottawa, here's what the club will have in its place: Apparently there also won't be a cover charge for it. I can't say I'm exactly thrilled by this. Aloha, Brad
Brilliant! My Mom used to make manicotti, but (back in the 1970s) all she had access to were the dried pasta manicotti tubes, which had to be boiled until soft, then filled using a spoon. Using flat fresh pasta and rolling them up should be loads easier. Thanks, M.O.B.E.! Edit to ask: is there any problem with the rolled-up tubes coming apart? I'd think that some kind of crimping and/or water/egg sealing would be needed. Aloha, Brad
It almost reads like the Gertrude Stein "nonsense" poem Arthur A Grammar and so on (that's about 1/4 of it; it was in her book How to Write; I know of it through its inclusion in Douglas R. Hofstadter's collection Metamagical Themas). Aloha, Brad
No, you'd want to walk up to him, and then, when he asked, "Did you just drive this golf ball at me?!?" you'd reply, "No, I didn't, but I had, here's how I would have done it..." Aloha, Brad
I want to hear "Fast Enough For You", just because Booche won't be there :mad: , and I know he'll hate himself for having missed it.
Any word on the/an opener?
Aloha,
Brad
I just saw a listing for a show by the Creaking Tree String Quartet at the NAC 4th Stage on Friday, Dec. 1. I don't think these guys have done a show in Ottawa for a while, and since it doesn't look like anything else is going on that weekend (Friday or Saturday), I'm thinking this could a show to be at. Tickets are $20 in advance. Aloha, Brad
Yeah, that's the sound I was talking about, and I think it's the keys (but I could be wrong). It's intermittent, though, and most of the recording is free of it. Aloha, Brad
I know there are places where one of the bassier keyboard sounds seems to be coming out like a wet juicy expelling of gastrointestinal gases; I don't remember hearing it that way during the show, but I think it was coming off the stage (or through the PA) that way. I just finished listening to the whole show, and the bass itself seems OK. Aloha, Brad
On an impulse while shopping yesterday, I picked up a tin of flaked white tuna (in water). Aside from making tuna salad, or spreading it on bread with cheese for tuna melts, I'm at a loss as to what else to make with it. Does anybody have any suggestion? (Note that I don't want to make a full tuna casserole.) Aloha, Brad
I say without. Just finely chopped cooked chicken, mayo, finely diced onions (maybe celery, also diced), and spices. Doing the same thing but with hard-boiled eggs instead of chicken is a whole other/different sandwich; mixing the two wouldn't work, IMO. Aloha, Brad
Not that I know of. I heard at the show that a soundboard recording was to be made, but didn't actually see anybody doing it (I may have missed it, though). Mine was the only mic stand I saw. There were at least three video recorders running, though: Jakis had his beside the soundboard, with my audio feeding it; there was one on the side of the stage; and a third was over against the left wall as you face the stage, even with the soundboard. Aloha, Brad
You can see the Toronto jambase listings here. The two I'm really excited about are Sisters Euclid at The Orbit Room on Monday, Dec. 18, and James McKenty And The Spades at The Cameron House on Wednesday, Dec. 27. Aloha, Brad
