One dog/one cat...

Happy Birthday, somewhat belated.
We are brethren of an odd club, it seems. I just "joined" last year. The SuperAgers. Those who have crossed into the nineth decade and beyond.

Thank you for the follow. I followed you back. My avatar is Racker, our rescue dachshund in his Sister Mary Racker pose.

WELL--DB is a Journey Crone, I'm a Chaos Mage, so you might figure we follow the Wheel of the Year.

I'd queue up Steely Dan's Pretzel Logic at this point. 'Cept not even Bistro Math could create the links to make that statement work.

They must have a phrase generator that makes dog whistle sentences up randomly. Of course, Vance fucks sofas and had a 2.5 GPA at Yale, where he got in DEI-ish

(nods head vigorously)

Wait 'til Easter. The "plunder" of Pagan traditions for that is just short of spectacular.

I had to explain to my Japanese Bhuddist boss what bunnies and chicks had to do with killing the guy we just celebrated the birth of 4 months earlier. THAT was fun.

I'm sorry, but that is a sad, sad piece of crap. Watch the following. This damn thing could be fitted with live-fire small caliber machine guns, fercrissake.

🤣 There is a problem with being a person who reads very fast that has not one fucking thing to do with dyslexia. Tends to be linked,in my case, with a warped sense of humor.

UNILAD, in conjunction with the OCSG, came out UNLAID, which, given his claims of UBERMANLINESS.

Cracked me up.

WELL, I was actually referring to the decline and fall of MAGArads.

I'm an econ wonk, actually, tending to lean into a Progressive Pragmatic stance. The OVERALL economy has been holding moderately well. Consumer economy, I have my worries when the ACA subsidies hit in January, UNLESS-

More later

If I am reading the radar correctly, I am seeing a downward spiral, followed by a hard crash landing.

If you want a taste of my range of music, look at my FAVE AGGREGATIONS playlist on Spotify. Heavy in jazz genres, of course, you will also find Dick Dale, BS&T, TSOP, and, ironically, The Art of Noise. Plus George Gershwin. Plus Mannheim Steamroller. abcbill185

Great list. Zawinal and Shorter were the core of Weather Report. Zappa is unheralded for his jazz contributions.

Weather Report
The Davis Birth of the Cool nonet
Brubeck Quartet
Spyro Gyro
Rippingtons
Glenn Miller Orchestra
Count Basie Orchestra
Pat Metheny
Are among my top twenty aggregations

Paul Desmond was not only great as a sideman in many trios and quartets: he led a number of solid aggregations himself.

Wave, by Jobim, is one of my "PERFECT SONGS". Here is the Desmond Quartet working the song, perfectly.

Wow, Saturday Eve! Carafes of Single Estate Peruvian Fair Trade coffee, brewed strong, as always. 24 oz. stoneware mugs await, and no lines.

Groove to start the day...

The title says it all

Yup, I did a mea culpa on that one. 😱

My folks had bunches of Hoagy Carmichael 78s, I listened to them endlessly.

I turned onto jazz when I was 11. My peers hated me, I listened to WNOP, they wanted to list to WSAI. I was driving. Check out the Wikipedia article for WNOP's hilarious history.

On second thought, I've changed my mind. You are a repugnant ID-10-T who wants to hoot and holler at the drop of a hat, point fingers, then go drink Coors beer, smoke BT-produced cigarettes and probably read KJV bibles.

Uncouth, ill-mannered, just an iota away from being a Democrat deplorable.

🤣

The list--is my SHORT list, IMHO and, as always, YMMV....🤪😜

1. This is an IMHO short list.
2. I have cuts from all the mentioned albums.
3. Trying to figure out the "greatest X album ever" is so subjective, sort of like the best ever pizza or steak. Like, which is the Greatest Weather Report album? I could argue all of them are.
