Vintage Sunglasses
If they're good enough for Travis Bickle, they're good enough for anyone: I have a similar pair - the Aviator style by Randolph. They're slightly more expensive than the Peterman version at $75.- Salv

Apple iPhone
"Engadget sends Apple stock plunging on iPhone rumor" "Engadget posted a story Wednesday morning at 11:49am ET claiming that Apple was about to announce another delay of Leopard, the next version of Mac OS X, as well as a delay for the iPhone, perhaps the most hyped gadget of all time."...- Salv

six degrees
I'm two degrees from Lance Armstrong - I used to be in the same amateur cycle club as Brit cyclist Roger Hammond who rode in Armstrong's Discovery Channel team in 2005. That also makes me three degrees from Sheryl Crow.- Salv

Modernism: New Exhibit
This is a great exhibition! It was at the Victoria & Albert museum in London last year, and I started a thread at the time with photos of some of the exhibits. If it's laid out in the same way as the London exhibition it starts with a beautiful Russian Suprematist cup and saucer from the early...- Salv

Tunes For The Weekend - May 24th
I may not have found the CDs I wanted at home, but in New York I've bought some CDs from a Virgin Megastore: Various Artists - The Soul Side Of The Street - The Hadley Murrell Story: 1964-1972 - Hadley Murrell (who I hadn't heard of before) was a Phoenix DJ who moonlighted as a record...- Salv

Tunes For The Weekend - May 24th
It's a little too smooth for me, and that pair are IMO two of the most overrated 'soul' singers I've ever heard. Gaye always wanted to be a crooner, and cited Nat 'King' Cole as a major influence, hardly the most emotive of singers. And Ross' thin, nasal voice has never impressed me. I was...- Salv

On yer bike!
Jeff - something else occurred to me: I think it would be useful to put a couple of small pockets at the bottom of the rear of the bag, so that when the flap is folded down for use off the bike, the hooks disappear into the pockets. Then the flap would be fully flat against the back of the bag...- Salv

Pre '50 Non American Jazz Recommendations?
OK - nearer the time we can start a thread to see who's interested in coming out for the evening. We had a mini-meet late last year, and since then there have been several new London area members joining, so let's hope we can get a good sized bunch together. If marq is DJ??ng one night while... -

Tunes For The Weekend - May 24th
Nope, neither of them - it's the 1979 Mathis Magic with a completely charming disco version of 'That Old Black Magic'. I'll have to look out for I'm Coming Home though, thanks for the heads-up - Bell and Creed wrote some lovely pop-soul songs. I've got a brilliant version of 'Stop, Look Listen'...- Salv

Pre '50 Non American Jazz Recommendations?
If you want to hear some traditional Filipino folk music as well let me know. I'm doing some CDs for Thora, and burning additional copies is quick and easy enough. I can always do a compilation CD to see if you like the music, then burn some more if necessary. Do you think you could get down... -
Why do I hate the 1970s so much?
If you consider it blase to compare the threat you faced from the Black Panther Party to the threat I faced from the Provisional IRA, then more power to you, too. I got on with my life, it's a shame you couldn't do the same.- Salv

Why do I hate the 1970s so much?
Ummmm ... sounds about right. Everyone's version of the 70s is shaded by where they were and, more importantly, who they were. And you think you had problems in the US - in the UK, apart from the annoyance of the three-day working week, brought about by coal and oil shortages, we had the...- Salv

You're welcome - I kept reading and re-reading the description, and editing it until it seemed clear to me, but even so there's no guarantee that someone else will read it the same way I read it <...phew...>- Salv

On yer bike!
I saw a convertible nylon pannier bag/rucksack yesterday which had the hooks attached to a flap that was stitched to the back of the bag. The flap was the same size as the back of the bag, but the lower half was sewn on to the lower half of the bag leaving the upper half free. Two pannier hooks...- Salv

Pre '50 Non American Jazz Recommendations?
The Old Truman Brewery is in Brick Lane - a great part of the city with some decent vintage shops nearby and some very good weekend markets, but not somewhere with much in the way of good accomodation, and not somewhere I'd think you could wander safely on your own at night. There's plenty going... -
Why do I hate the 1970s so much?
Your posts have been well thought out and well argued, and I certainly wasn't offended by anything you've written, but there is an extraordinary amount of bile directed specifically at hippies on this thread, and to a lesser degree at disco music, which seems to go well beyond "intense...- Salv
