  2. I admit to being obsessed with this song lately. Some of my
    favorite versions are by Lenny Breau(the most underrated guitarist
    ever?), Cannonball Adderley w/ Miles & Blakey, Earl Klugh, Eva
    Cassidy, Joe Pass & Nat King Cole.

    My very favorite version though is
    a very unorthodox version by Coldcut and remixed by Mixmaster Morris
    aka Irresistible Force. HERE is a link to the track atop some visuals
    via someone's homemade youtube clip. One of the best chillout tracks
    ever but barely recognizable compared to most versions.

    Some versions I haven't heard but would like to: Paul Desmond, Chet Baker, Art Pepper, Bill Evans & Keith Jarrett. I'm only assuming that Sinatra sang that at some point too eh? A few that I have no idea if they ever performed it but would like to imagine if they did...Jeff Buckley, Nick Drake & Kenny Burrell.

    How many obvious must-hear versions am I missing?

  4. Thanks Darrell!

    Yes that was a funny episode. I've heard it before and it's included on one of the 3 TAL compilation albums that were released. I guess many aren't hip yet to this radio show that's been on air for 13 years and has won countless awards including a Peabody :-) There's also a tv version on Showtime now. I'm addicted to it like a crackhead to rock. You guys are missing out. It's not your dad's talk radio.

  5. If so what are some of your favorite episodes? If you have no idea what I'm talking about you are missing out. HERE

    is a page with some of the editors faves. You can stream them all for

    free or download hour long episodes for a buck. These are the best for

    driving. Some of my faves are: the Curly Oxide episode that is being

    made into a movie starring Sacha Baron Cohen aka Ali G/Borat.

    Superpowers is awesome. Telephone is one of the greatest ever.

    Any ex-Navy guys will like Somewhere In The Arabian Sea. I've heard several hundred and almost all on that page and they're all really good. Give me some suggestions if you're a fan.

  6. Thanks for the info George and artto. I've read about ESL's for years and have lusted over them ever since. My experience with electrostatic speakers is pretty much zero except for a few short listens to some lower-end Maggies and some Martin-Logans(years ago) and I remember liking the sound a lot. Just kind of curious really as I think my amp setup would not like ESL's.

  7. My personal computer history is filled with misery using Window-based machines. I started on the amazing Atari 1040ST, moved on to a 133mhz Windows machine that I paid $2000 for, then a string of equally bug-ridden, error-filled mostrosities until I got it together and entered the stress-free, error-free world of Macs...PERIOD. This is my experience and no amount of staring at BIOS screens will ever change the facts. Non-stop registry issues, compatiliblity amongst components issues, blue-screens, etc. I was sick of it. Good riddance and never again.

    My Macbook Pros have NEVER screwed up. My Dual processor tower in my recording studio has NEVER screwed up. My Mac-Mini...you guessed it, has NEVER screwed up. I just don't see why anyone uses anything else especially if they work with a lot of digital media. The biggest problem I've ever had working on Macs is little bug that exists now that sometimes forces you to insert a cd twice. There is a bug with the Leopard, itunes & CDDB(this looks up artist info, etc.) combo that no one can figure out. If the biggest problem I've had in almost 10 years is having to reinsert a cd to get the names of the songs then I'm in good shape.
