One Cut: 'Hittin' the Jug' (OT)
A jazz cut to download: "Hittin' the Jug" by Gene Ammons, a rich, slow, bluesy rainy-day number that shows off Ammons' famous burnished tone. Two of the three places on iTunes this cut is listed are marked "View," for "view album" or "album only," meaning you can only get the cut if you buy the ...
Mike, thank you for the pointer to Gene Ammons; I had not heard of him. My ignorance embarrasses me -- sometimes! I've got "The Gene Ammons Story: Gentle Jug" coming through the speakers as I wrtie, courtesy of we7 (a music streaming website, free but with ads). "Boss tenor" is coming up shortly. Haven't got the words to express my appreciation of the music properly, but I am very grateful to you. Cheers!

Sticky $#!+ and Low Light
Adhesive residue on DVD cover doesn't bother Lulu. This is probably going to sound whiney and petty and very possibly not worth a blog post even on a slow day, but.... I bought a handful of DVDs the other day, mostly from the "40% Off" bin at the local Barnes & Noble, based on the recommendati...
Mike, have you seen Kertesz's The Polaroids? Only 127 pages, but well worth having. It is one of my favourites.
From the blurb: " Taken in his apartment just north of New York's Washington Square, many of these photographs were shot either from his window or in the windowsill."
Polaroid Warholia
There's a small show of Andy Warhol Polaroids of 1970s and '80s sports stars at Danziger Projects, partly viewable online. You can also read Kathy Ryan's admiring comments at the World's Greatest Photography Magazine. (Note that this appears in a fashion section, not an arts one.) I'm not su...
