Music: THE RANDOMIZER

Ha ha! This is great! I love the Philadelphia soundtrack. What's your favorite CD so far?

(And how fun to have such a cultured neighbor!)

Hi everyone!

I tend to buy my CDs in bunches, and I ordered several from Critics Choice Music (www.ccmusic.com/) and bought two at Tunes Used and New CDs today. Four CDs that I ordered from www.yourmusic.com, shipped 3/25/2010, have never arrived; I believe that they've either been stolen outright or placed in the wrong mailbox. These CDs are:

*The Band--Music From Big Pink*
*James Brown--Live at the Apollo*
*Frank Sinatra--Sings For Only the Lonely*
*Frank Sinatra--Songs For Swingin' Lovers*

The CDs I ordered from Collectors Choice Music are:

*38 Special--Authorized Bootleg--Live at Nassau Coliseum 1/29/1985*
*John Denver--Live at Cedar Rapids 12/10/1987*
*Duke Ellington--The Great Concerts: Cornell 1948* 2 cd
*Hall and Oates--Live at the Montreal Forum* 2 cd

Those I purchased at Tunes are:

*Elton John--Rare Masters* 2 cd (cd 2 playing now)
*Paul McCartney--Good Evening New York City* 2 cd and 1 dvd. The concert opened the New York Mets' Citi Field last year.

Love the Hall and Oates! And I've heard a lot about 38 Special, but I'm not sure I've ever heard anything by them...

Just Hold On Loosely...But Don't Let Go...

You've heard 38 special songs. Their popular songs have a tendency to sound pretty similar:

Good evening, everyone!

On Wednesday, April 28, 2010, after my Bible study small-group meeting, I went food-shopping at the Acme market here in town and got milk, juice, and lunch meat. On the way home from the store, I told my friend Norma, who drove, that I'm going out to lunch "for something tasty and outrageously unhealthy". After being dropped off at home and putting away the food, I walked over to Friendly's for one of its $9.99 lunches (an entree from a specific list; a drink; and a two-scoop, one-topping sundae). I had what Friendly's calls a Honey BBQ Chicken Supermelt: chicken strips, bacon, melted cheddar cheese, BBQ sauce and ranch dressing between two slices of sourdough bread. It came with fries and unsweetened iced tea. My hot-fudge female sundae had one scoop of Forbidden Chocolate and one scoop Cookies and Cream.

What does this have to do with music? Nothing...except that after I'd eaten, paid, and used the facilities, I walked across the plaza to Tunes Used and New CDs and bought the following:

*The Complete Guide to the Music of Eric Clapton* by Marc Roberty, a 162-page softcover book published in 1995. $US4.99.
*The Carnegie Hall Concert: June 18, 1971*, a CD by Carole King, $US$6.99. A good disc.

Currently listening to Eric Clapton's 1989 CD *Journeyman*, track 9, "Old Love".

Jim,

I haven't been CD shopping in a while. Are prices coming down? The CD store is supposed to be going to the way of the dodo.

Hi,

I don't know if prices have come down all that much despite economies of scale. But I got most of them for between $7 and $10 although the ones I got from Collectors Choice Music were around $14 each. Greed, pure and simple.

I'm actually listening to Pandora, not my CD player but it's pretty random. I'm listening to what is technically the "Fleetwood Mac" station, but it's mutated quite a bit since it started. Last five songs:

Jon Secada - If You Go
Depeche Mode - Enjoy the Silence
Bob Seger - Night Moves
U2 - All I Want Is You
Genesis - Misunderstanding

dope idea - tommy largo
johnny fiasco reflex jack
dark beat- Deadmau5 vocal mix

bring the noise - anthrax ( I found out played Orlando just recently!! )
alive-beastie boys
I'm broken-Pantera

I've played guitar since I was a teenager....I played all kinds of instruments
So for the last few yrs I have been playing on a pair of techs.
Always fun

I my iphone
"Panic Switch-Silver Sun Pickups"
"Words I couldnt say-Rascal Flatts"
"Another Saturday night-Sam Cooke"
"Gabba Gabba Hey-Ramones"
"For the longest time-Billy Joel"

I haven't loaded my music into my new phone. I'll have to do that soon.

Hi,

Today is my day off. I work a ten-hour shift four days a week.

I changed my avatar. It is a photo of me taken 7/12/2009 at my church's annual picnic, which is my Facebook photo. I normally wear eyeglasses; but my friend Keith, who took the picture, decided that it was best that I took them off so that the glare from the flash doesn't appear.

On this rainy and windy December 1 I decided to listen to some Christmas music:

*Anonymous 4--On Yoolis Night. Anonymous 4 is a female quartet that sings 400-700-year-old music a capella. My friend Pam and I will see them live in concert Friday, December 17, 2010 in downtown Philadelphia.
*The Beach Boys--The Beach Boys' Christmas Album.
*Nat "King" Cole--The Christmas Song.
*Harry Connick, Jr.--Harry For the Holidays.
*Counterpoint--A Counterpoint Christmas. Counterpoint is a professional vocal ensemble one of whose members, Piero Bonamico, I met February 28, 2004 at Las Vegas' McCarran International Airport while waiting for my red-eye flight to Philadelphia. We discussed music as I sing in church choir, and he gave me both this CD and a DVD.
*Mercyme--The Christmas Sessions. This Christian band had a hit a number of years ago with the song "I Can Only Imagine". I wonder how many people who heard it knows it's about Jesus Christ?

Weather's not nice in NJ, eh Jim?
