I...I haven't listened to the track yet, but thanks. I'm still new to getting into jazz myself. I have a few Miles Davis albums and they all seem excellent. My favourite find so far is "Waltz For Debby" by the Bill Evans Trio, but like everything else it's all subjective. I seem to prefer mellow laid back jazz.<BR/><BR/>As for music sites, well Pitchfork is still the first one I check every day. I can hardly believe I've been reading it since 1997. Then comes Tinymixtapes, You Ain't No Picasso, Metacritic, and now Ear Farm. Keep up the good work. Music blogs like yours are really the best indicator nowadays of what's interesting out there. I haven't listened to the radio or watch a music video in 3 years, but I buy new music almost every week. And it's all thanks to internet music sites like yours.landrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05262732926684715707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17696666.post-1141992670403282592006-03-10T07:11:00.000-05:002006-03-10T07:11:00.000-05:00Thanks for this track.

This post is a fine example of what I look for in music reviews--a mix of personality, humor, and humility. Album reviews? These days it's so easy to get two or three songs as previews of an album, you can let the music speak for itself in making the choice to buy or not buy.<BR/><BR/>I'm not discounting the importance of music reviews. I just think the format P-fork and Stylus and the other online-only music mags need to reevaluate their approach to voice. Put down the snark and cynicism and pick up the sincerity.TJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13088461995698326658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17696666.post-1141984333730000652006-03-10T04:52:00.000-05:002006-03-10T04:52:00.000-05:00Matt..

This song DRIPS with "There's a riot goin on" references. <BR/><BR/>I love this track, I love my Jazz, someday you indie rock guys need to be forced to sit down and comprehend the grandeur of Charles Mingus's The Black Saint and The Sinner lady.<BR/><BR/>Much cred on a great site here, I check it twice a week. Psalm 69 and this hit a 10 on my scale, although your disparaging words for Loveless cause me physical pain. I love the Smiths, but I suspect coming from Northern England dulls the wonder of this band a bit.. They're about as exotic as a can of Coke.. I always preferred The Pixies.Edwin Hesselthwitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03319408252029736001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17696666.post-1141956400508537132006-03-09T21:06:00.000-05:002006-03-09T21:06:00.000-05:00can i suggest "Funky Tonk" by Miles Davis in this ...can i suggest "Funky Tonk" by Miles Davis in this case, off of Live Evil, clocking in at 23:28 and a perfect example of why nobody else inthe world should ever hook up a trumpet to a wah wah pedal except for Davis. (this excludes Skerik and his saxophone, a worthy effort). Oh, and FUck you Erik Truffaz! Oh and check out "Your Mouth" by Frank Zappa which is 17:24 and parts of which sound EXACTLY like the theme song to Arrested Development on acid.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
