Truthfully I hate to spend the money, but if it's no interest financing, it's not quite so painful

Almost off to work, but before I go, I must share with you all a BREATHTAKING DISCOVERY which will be of UTMOST IMPORTANCE to VIRTUALLY NONE of you.  Two of the CDs I bought yesterday whilst out with BK were cool "Ultralounge" compilations from the Capitol series of Bachelor Pad music.  I got these because I really had never listened to any of the standalone Capitol releases and these both had very cool, plush covers--one is faux leopardskin (at least I hope it's faux) and the other is a sort of Tiki Room Bamboo.  So anyway, I was listening to one of them this morning and on came "Summer Samba," and it sounded almost exactly like Walter Wanderley's version.  Almost.  But the inlay card said it was Billy May.  Hmmmm.  Then I went upstairs and put on the other volume and on came "The Look of Love" and it was exactly like Burt Bacharach's instrumental version.  Billy May again.  And then it dawned on me:

Here's the BREATHTAKING PART:

In the 1970s Time-Life Records had an overwhelming success with their LP series (later released on CD) called "The Swing Era," where they "recreated" Big Band hits in "modern, pristine stereo" sound.  This was a great series (I had it on LP and I have it on CD), with many of the original players recreating their first versions.  Billy May had done these recreations previously and T-L licensed a lot of his previously released stuff as well as recording new stuff.  Time-Life unwisely (IMHO) followed up this series with another "recreation" series called "As You Remember Them," which did pop hits from the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s in "new" versions.  Billy May was back on board doing a bunch of new sessions.  These Ultralounge things obviously include cuts from that series.

With regard to "As You Remember Them," while the instrumental "recreations" were usually pretty good, the vocal "recreations" were abysmal.  I still remember cringing at their "recreation" of Brasil '66, which featured two sopranos who sounded about 15 (IIRC it was a mother and daughter pair).  Lani Hall is an alto.  Lordy, lordy.

DR JMK - Was that news "BREATHTAKING" due to all the running up and down the stairs you did?

;)

I still think of those headset mics (a la Madonna, et al) as "Time-Life operators are standing by to take your call" mics.

We have those here too. I didn't know that you guys called those smarties. I hate those candies!

I really am surprised that the US does not have our smarties. They are so good. Definitely one of the most popular chocolates here. And one of my favs.

I LOVE Smarties - the U.S. version.  They're one of my favorite Halloween candies.

I think the Canadian Smarties are sort of like "Flicks" - which I know a couple of DRs - and bk himself - still miss.  -Although, there always seems to be a report of them coming back into production...

OH! Nevermind - Here they are! FLICKS

-And I guess the Canadian Smarties are not like Flicks, so "nevermind" that too. ::)

Found this on Datalounge about the NYMF Last Starfighter:

"A friend of mine was in Starfighter at NYMF. He told me they gave all the cast these rare Starfighter comics that they had bought on eBay as gifts which none of them had any use for..."


Then I want to say:  Give the comic books back!!!!!!!! 


Edit:  A better idea, sell the comic book, and donate the money to your favorite charity.

Jane is still asleep, or at the very least has not dared to come upstairs yet. :)

I was awake my 6:15.  I was very comfortable in the pull out bed and decided to read a little and then had a nice long phone call with Keith.

Sounds like the Rave in the Nave was a crashing success.....hopefully there will be photos.

It truly was and I'm very glad I could make it.  The audience really did love it.  Basically my eyes were on Bruce & Jeff allowing glances around the room to watch the happy expressions to go with the sounds of laughter & pleasure.
