Actually, I thought the picture would brighten up the place. I'm the jolly fellow on the right. More names and details here. |
Busta Move To The Electric Boogaloo! Did Young MC invent the phraseology "Stone Cold" with Bust a Move? Who knows and who cares. Great ode to a great tune at The Electric Boogaloo. And be sure to check out the Retorts to the lyrical post. Cool.
Oh, I forgot, Mikey was one of the folks at the San Diego Blog Meetup last Thursday at O'Briens. Joan seems to be definitive on the goings ons. I hope they had many IPAs at O'Briens. I would have. I wish I could have been there. Maybe next time. I even sent some email to Charles about having a Blog Meetup on a Thursday night at Jazz 88 Studios in San Diego. Live! And bloggers who wanted to read from their blog could do so...we'd mix The New Jazz Things in, just watch...or listen. |

John Robb Says Buy A House "The gain in homes over the next decade will make your head spin. Get into as big a home as you can, stretch out your mortgage payments as long as you can, find the best neighborhood you can (remember a home's value is defined by three factors: location, location, and location), and ride the wave. This is the retirement cornicopia that can't be matched by the stock market."
Woa. The timing on this is interesting. |
NPR Jazz Profiles - The Standards "Jazz has always thrived on a bedrock of standards, tunes drawn from the blues to bossa nova, from Tin Pan Alley to contemporary rock, and from Broadway musicals to R&B. This Jazz Profiles show explores how certain songs are strong and fortunate enough to achieve "standard" status."Interesting looking page with lots of various NPR audio bits on the subject. Happy listening and learning. 7:06:02 AM ![]() |
Palladium + Microsoft = Devil? I started reading this article because of the title, "The Devil And The Deep Blue Sea". An American Songbook Standard by Harold Arlen, or at least a Jazz standard (check out some of it's company in that category...woa, learn those and you've got the words...it's up to you to speak 'em). I digress into TNJT territory...Jazz fans continue reading at your own risk.
It is an article about Paladium, Microsoft's new copyright enforcement solution or something like that. It's been getting a lot of press and linkage lately, but I haven't dove in. Which is the reason for the "something like that". I know more now... That seems pretty clear. Now for the gist of the article (which must relate to the title somehow as I speculated in the headline...maybe I'm too obvious, but I haven't gotten past the first section yet and may never, knowing me):
