jazztacular
sometimes it pays to speak loudly. I SAID SOMETIMES IT PAYS TO SPEAK LOUDLY. the reason i say this is because apparently the other day i said something that someone else overheard, and it paid off. it most surely did.
i got a cd in the mail that is comprised of awesome! so thank you, mix-master j. thank you very much. i listened last night and did two things while listening, 1) smiled a real whole lot & 2) realized that i have misclassified quite a bit of jazz as big band. maybe they are the same and i just don't like the word jazz? i dunno. what i do know is that i really like this disc. a real whole lot.
the moral of this story is... if you have cool friends with awesome taste in music, bash certain types within earshot of them. they just might feel duty bound to prove you wrong. that, and when people email you and ask for your address, you should not hesitate to give it to them. sure, it could be a crazy stalker killer, but it also could be someone with good cd burning skills.
commence envy.
arrivederci, rebecca marie

There truly is nothing cooler than a mix tape. It makes the maker of the tape ALMOST happier than the receiver. Almost.
I wanna hear, K?
k. maybe you should move back to portland or something... then we could drive around listening to this, and the best rap mix of ever, too.
Jason is a master when it comes to music compilations. He put together a fastastic Christmas compilation several years back that has been enjoyed in our house every year since.
Oooohhhh.... Move back to portland? Great idea! How about end of June?
Thank you super much for suggesting it! mmmmrapmixwithrminptown.....
RBW, I'm glad you like it. As far as misclassifying jazz as big band, in many cases big band is jazz. To me, if the horns and saxes scream and the chords aren't all straight--then it is jazz. Feel free to change your position on jazz--it ain't just that stuff they play on the smooth jazz station.
(BTW, who'd you give your address to? I got your's from your sister.)
I can't wait to hear it. :)
Unless RM has another silent sister that I don't know about, you didn't get her address from me!
RM!!! ARE YOU CHEATING ON ME WITH A FAKE SISTER????
XOXO
yes, i have several fake sisters in the greater portland area. it's what a girl has to do when her sister moves away.
so hurry back.
I was lurking on Jason's blog and read the discription of that mix CD and I was all jealous of the unknown girl with the wicked jazz education coming her way. I was just sure she was going to be stubborn and keep hating jazz and that glorious CD was going to end up moldering on the back of a shelf somewhere. I'm glad it was you--you have more sense than that!
a. lucky
b. the day i realized i could no longer call my creations "mix tapes" because they were, in fact, cd's, i felt very sad. because "mix cd" doesn't sound any king of cool. what is the solution to this?!
c. my word verification is kuuelmbb and i'm angry about it. and i think i hold you responsible.
the solution is this: call them mix tapes. janni laine and i do, so that makes it okay.
done and done.
