    Billie Jean (revisited)

    This is a pretty old story, if I remember right, and didn't Miki Howard completely deny it? Plus the "evidence" turned out to be fake or something? This dude looks more like Lenny Kravitz than he does MJ. SPlDEY said: Do you think Michael Jackson could have paid off a young woman in...

    Herbie takes over Thelonius

    RhythmGJ said: Then you're not. But just so's you knows; you're not the only Fred Garvin on the Web (audio/music-related). Also hopefully not a male prostitute or wearing a truss, but those details are probably besides the point. GJ Probably.I actually only use that alias here, and...

    Herbie takes over Thelonius

    RhythmGJ said: BTW FG, are you the same over at AK? I'm the same person regardless of where I am... and maybe it's the frequent lack of sleep fueling my ignorance, but I'm drawing a blank on what "AK" is.

    Herbie takes over Thelonius

    Their board apparently made the decision, based on this: "A press statement noted that the decision had been unanimous, and was made "following a request by representatives of the Monk Estate regarding the continued use of Thelonious Monk's name."" Sounds like the Monk estate didn't want his...

    Favorite Cover Songs (INPUT NEEDED!)

    Great list. One thing: Erma Franklin's "Piece of My Heart" was the original, Janis was the cover. Here's a cover of hers, that I'm surprised doesn't get more shine: https://www.youtube.com/KXuwsh3HtkU

    apple newbie - music setups?

    It's not that it's a big deal... but if you are this guy: ketan said: the file-system-obsessed PC person I've always been... I want to be able to move files around to different folders at times and change files around in playlists on the fly. ...you may end up disappointed with...

    Pokemon Go

    Apparently the Clinton campaign has adopted the strategy of using the game to bring people to voter registration sites, and it's working. I imagine whichever staffer came up with that is getting a raise soon. I personally have zero interest... but I'm old enough that I was already an adult...

    The Summer Of Unlove

    RAJ said: I can't go on Social Media anymore. So many misinformed idiots. The Internet has divided everyone. We're now set back 200 years. Nah, we were never less divided. We just know much more now about about how divided we are, because we're no longer as isolated from each other...

    Can I get a Trump Thread?

    DOR said: I personally think he's scared as shit that he's going to win the damn thing. Agreed. I've said for some time that I don't think he had any intention of getting this far... but the whole thing spiraled out of control, and he got sucked in by his own weakness, i.e. he can't...

    Dennis Coffey vs. Galt MacDermot

    I guess I was looking to see which stack of records people would choose between: a) a pile of all of Dennis Coffey's records, or b) a pile of all of Galt MacDermot's records. That's more or less how I interpreted it.

    Dennis Coffey vs. Galt MacDermot

    Coffey was/is a fantastic guitarist, but in terms of musical craftsmanship, it's McDermot by a mile.

    RIP Prince

    ketan said: I heard Sexy MF yesterday and it really is great. I go back to this one more often than I would have expected. It's probably the most James Brown-ish he's ever sounded and yet it's still distinctly him. And James, I would contend that tracks like this were Prince's answer...

    you ever walking down the street in a bad mood...

    When my son was baptized, the priest who did the ceremony was an old Philippine guy, and he wanted to meet and talk with us (or rather, at us) at length prior to the ceremony. At one point, after he'd been talking for about ten minutes, he pointed at my son and said "Is boy? No, is girl?"...
