Dolph, don't pick up this months issue of Down Beat, as Kurt is on the cover and is the 2007 Critics Poll winner for Male Jazz Vocalist of the year! I prefer John Pizzarelli as far as male jazz vocalists go, and John can play a pretty mean jazz guitar as well.

Rudy Rucker, deranged science fiction writer, cyberpunk pioneer ("Wetware," "Freeware," et seq.) and psychedelic clown, is in fact the same guy as Rudolf von Bitter Rucker, serious mathematician and author of "Infinity And the Mind," a book that makes my head spin every time I try to read it. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 17 Jul 2007 15:42:17 -0500 From: Steve Schiavo Subject: Eh? I'm at work today and the local talk show on KERA radio is about processed foods, so I turn over to one of the right wing Christian stations to check out Point of View - and there's a station promo spot playing and I recognize the music they are using - and it is a bit from a song from Stephen Duffy's "I Love My Friends." You guessed it - the little organ/guitar break from One Day One of These Fucks Will Change Your Life - pretty close to the "She's snogging the industry" line. I can only shrug. - - Steve _______________ Interconnectedness among living beings can be accounted for by nonlocal quantum entanglement. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 17 Jul 2007 17:10:43 -0700 From: Rex Subject: Re: Announcing the official Feg greeting On 7/16/07, gaseous clay wrote: > > > Please note that the sailor's cap and suspenders are mandatory, but > you may wear a cap and suspenders which reflect your heritage or > sexual proclivities.
