When You Buy The Whole Album And Only Like One Song.

@bdp24 

Yeah; I've read somewhere that many of the Funk Brothers considered themselves Jazz players.  

Ginger Baker's roots were definitely in Jazz: 

 “Four drummers in my life who were my absolute heroes: Phil Seamen was the first one, Max Roach, Art Blakey and Elvin Jones. All four of them became my friends, and I mean dear friends. That is worth more to me than anything in the whole world,” he said once"

And, of course, he recorded Jazz albums, including the excellent "Coward of the County" featuring compositions by trumpeter Ron Miles. 

@bdp24 I worked on the WB lot for years. Before that, I worked at Universal but those cheapskates parked me and my fellow story analysts in a crummy motel across the street behind the post office. We probably crossed paths a couple times.

In any case, in time the internet finally developed to the point where we could work remotely from home.

I appreciate our 'new era' of streaming, streamcasting, Spotify, et all...

No more buying an album, tape, or CD to find the 1~3 cuts that caught my ears were the only ones of interest.

Since FM has mostly become pointless, what with the rotations run (I can do my own, thanx anyway...) or the 'genre' played...not to mention locationlocationlocation of being in a 'mountain town'.

...antennas on towers with rotators seemed to make the reactionary 'neighbors' think you were a weird spy-type or in touch with the aliens.  It didn't matter whether of another country or the 'off-planet' sort....

Now, a bookmark list that scrolls long enough to span my 'Noises of Interest' short term memories of the this 'n that of my past, present, and where to go next.

Gotta love the Future....you're There constantly...;)

@edcyn: I loved living in that end of Burbank. I walked my dogs over to the Bob Hope Park everyday and let them sniff around awhile. You know The Safari Inn on West Olive? Lucinda Williams stayed there while recording one of her 2000’s albums.

Did you ever eat at Don Cuco’s? Best Mexican food I’ve ever had! Around the corner is Bob’s Big Boy; open 24 hours, so that’s the place to go after a late night gig (some of mine went to 1 or 2 in the A.M.). On Friday nights there is a Vintage Car Show in the Bob’s parking lot; lots of pompadours and ducktails, cuffed blue jeans, and chicks with short bangs and tats. Love it!

By the way, David Lynch says it was in Bob’s that he sat all night during some of the time he was working on Eraserhead, drinking coffee (and no doubt eating cherry pie ;-) and working on the script. He has a home in the Hollywood Hills now of course. ;-)

I've been buying records since 1973 and could never bring myself to do something like that.
