Snow Global


Read a long Bukowski poem to my lady last night at bedtime. Stuck on the description of the young kid as "like looking out on a vast sea of milk that has not even a ripple from a thrown pebble." Drove home a little affected through a light snowstorm at 3am the other night, not to mention the night before, similar story, without the snow. Needless to say my confidence in karma/raw abilities is quite high. Want to thank MyJazzWorld, El Goog, Soundological Investimigations, Ile Oxumare and a bunch of others in the syndicate that I've been digging lately.
I was checking the Fela thread on Sound Opinions recently, reminded me that there are some Tony Allen (Africa 70's drummer) LP's that carry that banner in a fucking funked up fashion. Like these two - Jealousy/Progress.
In the 'Twin Cities' - sports, fireplaces, bros, big sky, long distances between things and souls. back in the city tomorrow. Met a girl named Tawny who works at the Filmore the other night, a nice splash of local color in a whitewashed plane.
also listening:
Eric Dolphy- Out to Lunch
Mingus-Live @ Cornell 1964 (w/Eric Dolphy)
El Mexicano- Move up Starsky (nice collection of recognizable reggae mish-mash with some dancehall flows nicely grooving on top-especially dig the title track)
I'm looking for a good acid jazz comp. if anyone has any ideers/if anybody reads this thing.
That is all.
