 Hello, I am on week 9 almost 10 and had the gastric bypass in 2011, I had a really bad car accident in 2013, I broke my back and my legs, my legs are healed but still hurt a lot and as far as my back my L 5 is crushed and will never be healed, was taking a lot of pain medications, stopped taking all, Now I have so many questions and need answers please! I am 43 yrs old, first time pregnancy has worked so far, I have had failed pregnancies. the last time was n 2000, I didn't think that I would have any possible chance for this to happen due to the accident , age and now having said all that, hopefully I can find someone to talk to about everything.

I am almost 13 weeks along however i have sworn i have been feeling movement since about week 8. Did anyone else notice movement notice earlier then expected?

My OB gave me a script to get the glucose test done at 24 weeks (I'm currently 19 weeks). I reminded her that I had gastric bypass and she remembered that it'll make me sick. She said that we may be able to take a general test without the drink. Then, she told me to inquire about it at my visit with the high risk maternal doctor on Thursday.

Does anyone have any experience with the test or anyway to opt out of it via another test? Thanks!

Hi everyone,

I just found out today that I am pregnant. I am only a few weeks along but I have been losing weight. I do have the lap band but after a slip years ago it's been impossible to lose weight. Weight is just falling off of me now and I haven't done anything different. Should I be worried? Is this normal? It's been about 10 lbs in the last few weeks.

unicode possibilities
It would be nice if cl-user would display unicode input for CJK text. With PCL and On Lisp getting new printings in Japan, it might be beneficial to attract more brain-share from that side of the world. Would this be considered out of cl-user.net's scope?

re: unicode possibilities
I have to think about it.
The use of English as the standard language is prefered so that the information is useable by most lispers.
I don't mind some other language content though.

Monkeys having a romantic time together :-)
This is a shot from a trip to a local zoo last autumn. A great zoo - you drive by car amongst the most dangerous animals (e.g. the lions) and when you are visiting these monkeys you are actually walking inside their enclosure. But DON'T touch them, they ARE wild animals.

If you are just now joining us, you are going to really love this wedding. Allyson Magda, one of our favorite photographers, sent us the affair as she knew that we would fall hard for the sweet, whimsical style in such a gorgeous venue. The flowers were all crafted by Flowers by Denise…
Here are a few more behind the scenes details from Allyson…
Stephanie and Rob choose to see each other before the ceremony and exchange gifts….they nearly gave each other the same thing! Apparently their first date was the to see a play "Harold and Maude" – based on the original move. When Stephanie opened her gift she turned beat red and started to laugh – he gave her the tickets and program framed – she gave him – a poster signed by cast members! How appropriate – as they are both in the film industry!
SO much more to come!!

Byline: SUE CASTLEMEN with hairy bums are more likely to cheat on their partners
according to psychic Sue Evans.
The clairvoyant reckons she can tell if a man will stay true by the
shape and hairiness of his backside.
And when she tested her skills on three bare-cheeked men she picked
the love-rats.
"A hairy bum signifies pulling the wool over eyes. It means a
man will cheat and can't be trusted," explained Sue, who runs
a psychic detective school from her home in Ammanford, west Wales.
"A clear bum castle clash hack tool with no marks or blemishes is a good sign - it
means what you see is what you get."
Sue went on: "It's a new thing for me to read bums but as
I'm clairvoyant I can read anything."
Sue, who has been used by police forces to help track down
criminals and hidden bodies of murder victims, added: "The men
whose bottoms I looked at were embarrassed.
"I certainly made sure they kept their backs to me at all

The retrial for a Palo Alto lawyer who allegedly tried to bribe his way out of a driving under the influence arrest in 2010 got under way in San Mateo County Superior Court Wednesday.
According to prosecutors, Chae allegedly offered to pay $900 cash to the police officer if he was allowed to go free. When the officer refused the bribe, Chae allegedly offered $5,000, and when that was refused, he said he would pay $35,000, Serrato said.
Chae was arrested for bribery and suspected DUI. When he was searched, police found $1,055 in cash and $135 in casino chips from Lucky Chances casino, prosecutors said. His blood alcohol level was determined to be .13 percent, nearly twice the legal limit.
In November, a jury found Chae guilty of misdemeanor drunken driving charges, but deadlocked on the bribery charge. The retrial is expected to take about five days.

For many music fans, this year – and we're not even two months into it – began sadly, with the demise of talented and influential musicians such as David Bowie, Glenn Frey (The Eagles), Paul Kantner (Jefferson Airplane; Jefferson Starship), Edgar Froese (Tangerine Dream) and, in early February, Maurice White, the founder of Earth, Wind & Fire, a much-loved, highly-praised American band.
I hadn't heard Earth, Wind & Fire in a long time and White's death, albeit a sad occasion, became a cue for me to dig out their Greatest Hits album, the one with 17 songs including Got to Get You Into My Life, Can't Hide Love, Shining Star, Let's Groove, Saturday Nite, and many more – all hits from 1974-81, the period that is considered to be the band's golden era.
Many critics who've acclaimed Earth, Wind & Fire (EWF) say the band had the ability to cross generic boundaries; that they took black pop to a different level by fusing funk, soul, R&B, blues and rock but I think that at the core of Earth, Wind & Fire's sound is funk and groove – the rhythm that the interplay of drums, keyboards and bass brings to their music.
EWF's lead singer Philip Bailey was versatile – he had a four-octave range and could sing everything from funk to blues to gospel to rock and roll. Added to that were White's mellower vocals; the meticulous arrangements involving horns, guitars, besides the funky keyboards, drums and bass; and a generally upbeat spirit, all of it making for a spirited musical experience.
I haven't heard a single EWF song that isn't uplifting: the Greatest Hits album closes with Getaway, a song about escaping boredom and seeking joy that may well epitomise the band's musical spirit. White suffered from Parkinson's disease and had to retire from the band in 1994 but continued to remain active in controlling EWF.
Also watch: Jefferson Airplane – Volunteers (Live at Woodstock Music & Art Fair, 1969)
After an hour or two of EWF, as homage to Paul Kantner I pulled out my Jefferson Airplane collection and chose Surrealistic Pillow, their second album from 1967. Pioneers of the San Francisco sound during the Summer of Love years, their music was redolent of psychedelia, of the 'turn on, tune in, drop out' era of hippiedom.
On Surrealistic Pillow, Airplane do some of their most memorable songs. There's Somebody to Love, which was written by vocalist Grace Slick's then brother-in-law, Darby; there's Today; there's the Alice in Wonderland inspired White Rabbit; and there's Plastic Fantastic Lover.
After the Airplane broke up, Kantner, Slick and some of the others formed Jefferson Starship. I have their 1975 album, Red Octopus. So I played that too. Starship had a more commercial sound than its mothership, Jefferson Airplane. But a nice trip down memory lane it was.
And then, since I'd embarked on that journey, I pulled out Froese's German electronic band, Tangerine Dream's Le Parc, which is an album from 1985 and has nine tracks, each of which is inspired by a famous park around the world. So you get tracks such as Central Park (New York), Bois de Boulogne (Paris), Zen Garden (Ryoanji Temple, Tokyo), Hyde Park (London) and so on. It's not their best-known album but I like the theme.
I then heard one of their earlier albums, Stratosfear (1974), which marks the band's move to a more melodious sound, with the Moog synthesizers still ruling but less experimental and not so off the wall. Tangerine Dream's most influential years were during the 1970s and some of their music from that era may seem prescient when you listen to some of today's modern electronic dance music.
As a tribute to Glenn Frey, I eschewed all The Eagles albums (including that one particular Eagles song for which Frey wrote the lyrics and that you must have heard in elevators, restaurants and rest-rooms) and went for 1993's Glenn Frey Live, which has concert versions of several songs, including Desperado, a Lyin' Eyes/Take it Easy medley, and New Kid in Town.
Also watch: David Bowie – Live at BBC Radio Theatre
That left me to decide which David Bowie album to play. It was a tough decision. I have tons of Bowie from over the years – studio albums, live ones, compilations and collaborations. I finally settled on a BBC sampler of six songs and one short interview from the 1969-72 period and which has on the playlist Hang Onto Yourself, Ziggy Stardust, Andy Warhol and Waiting for the Man. In the interview, David Bowie, then 22 (it is 1969), talks about Space Oddity, which had just released. He's soft-spoken, self-deprecating and full of humility. So refreshing.

The first time I heard Sublime, the band had already broken up and its talented lead singer, driving force and the man who can be credited for the band, its sound, and its essence, Brad Nowell, was already dead. And, as it happened, the first song by Sublime that I heard and that made me sit up and take notice of the band was not even (well, not fully as we shall see in just a bit) written by the band. It was Scarlet Begonias, originally written in 1974 by Robert Hunter (words) and Jerry Garcia (music) for the Grateful Dead.
As a long-time Deadhead, I instantly took note, especially because Nowell had added a verse or two to give the song a nice and edgy twist. In the Sublime version of the song – I'd highly recommend Deadheads who haven't to listen to it – Nowell references the "Summer of Love", a "microbus", a hippy lifestyle that involves a bit of dealing in mushroom, ecstasy, nitrous oxide and sundry other, um, psychotropic substances, as well as a not-so-happy brush with the law. As a bonus, the band also sampled James Brown's Funky Drummer on the song. That was enough to hook me.
Also watch: Sublime – Badfish (Live At The Palace/1995)
Sublime's music is categorised by some writers as a genre they call ska punk – ska originally being a form of Jamaican dance music that pre-dates reggae. But the influences that shaped Nowell (guitar and vocals), Eric Wilson (bass) and Bud Gaugh (drums) go beyond those genres. You can add to that list of their influencers garage rock, rap, blues and psychedelia, especially psychedelia. Sublime's songs have a very robust bass line (a characteristic of ska music); blistering guitar solos that could be blues-rock influenced; and the danceability of reggae. It's incredible how things can evolve within a Sublime song – metamorphosing from garage punk to reggae to ska and rock.
Sadly, Sublime had a short run. They launched their first album in 1992 and could manage to record just three studio albums in their career, the first one clandestinely by sneaking into a studio at a California university at night. Their third album, titled Sublime, came out just after Brad Nowell's death in 1996.
Nowell died from what is believed to be a heroin overdose in a motel in the band's home state of California. He was just 28. Sublime's songs aren't without controversy either. On their debut album, 1992's 40 Oz. to Freedom, Sublime have a humorous song called Date Rape that is about a date-rapist and his victim and ends with jail for the perpetrator who gets sodomised in jail.
Also watch: Sublime – Date Rape
Many consider that song homophobic – particularly, the last verse where Nowell sings: "Well, I can't take pity on men of his kind, /even though he now takes it in the behind." There's a video of the song in which male porn star Ron Jeremy acts as both the judge who sends the perp to jail as well as the co-prisoner who later… well, never mind.
Besides the three studio albums and some live cuts, Sublime in post-Nowell years have released several compilations and a box set. And loyal fans abound even now. And although the remaining members of the band have regrouped and renamed themselves Sublime with Rome (after Rome Ramirez, guitarist and singer, joined them), their fare hasn't met with the kind of following Sublime still has.
If you like your reggae shaken up with ska, punk, funk and groove, it's the band for you. And if you're a Deadhead, I've already told you the song you could listen to before you dive into the rest of their catalogue.

Beginning with their first studio effort in 2007, Red Album, every LP by Baroness, the heavy metal band from Savannah in the US state of Georgia, is titled with the name of a colour. Their second album was called Blue Record; then came 2012's Yellow & Green (it was a double album); and then, last month they released their latest, Purple. The colour thing for their album titles seems apt.
Baroness, as I said, are a heavy metal band – some music critics affix prefixes such as 'stoner', 'alternative' or 'sludge' to their genre but the fact is that they are a heavy metal band. And heavy metal bands are? Well, they are loud, deep sounding, aggressive, distortion-loving purveyors of music that is not necessarily associated with colour other than different shades of black. Dark and brooding is how the music played by most heavy metal bands can seem. But Baroness are different. Their music, even when it has all the required attributes of metal – loudness; heavy beats; and fierceness – is also vibrant and colourful.
Also watch: Baroness live at Saint Vitus Bar
On Yellow & Green, there are songs, such as Twinkler, which begins with a melodic acoustic guitar (albeit against the background of a mildly ominous sounding giant fly's buzz); there are lyrics, such as those on March to the Sea, that can seem uncommon for a heavy metal band: There was a whisper/Once there were heralds and parades/ You sang your secrets through the tolling of the tide/ The fugitive rooms, the amateur tombs/ The silence and the cries/ The quickening beat/ Your march to the sea/ Never to return; and on Purple, their latest, there are guitar solos and drum lines, such as the one on The Iron Bell, which can make them sound like a southern jam band (albeit one that is probably amped up on speed and steroids).
Four years ago the future of Baroness may have seemed uncertain. The band, while touring the UK, met with an accident when its tour coach fell 30 feet, injuring most members of the band, two of them, the drummer and the bassist, very badly. Those two ultimately had to quit the band and to many it seemed that Baroness would never play again.
But the remaining members, including frontman and guitarist John Baizley, bounced back after spending months in recovery. And then came Purple. As is customary for the band, Baizley not only wrote the songs but also did the cover artwork for Purple, which, as it has always been for the band's other albums, is gorgeous. Baizley's artwork is influenced by the Art Nouveau style; it is intricate and decorative with a mythological theme (an aside: if you want to explore Baizley's art, go to www.aperfectmonster.com).
Back to the music. In many ways, Purple, the first album by Baroness after the band's accident, carries a sense of the trauma that the band members underwent. It is dark; it is heavy; and, while Baizley's songs don't directly refer to the incident, the mood captures it.
Yellow & Green was for me the most accessible heavy metal album I have heard. Its infectious melodic hooks, bright guitar solos and harmonised singing completely upturned my pre-conceived notions of a heavy metal band – much like another band, the black metal group Deafheaven had.
In contrast, Baroness's first two albums were heavier, fitting the definition of the heavy metal genre better. Now, Purple takes another step in the evolution of the band: on this new album, the deep and loud sound is layered with melodies, guitar riffs and choruses – a perfect blend of the heavy and the light.
The late David Bowie's last album is the only one of his albums that doesn't have an image of him on the cover; instead it has a black star and that gives it its name, Blackstar. Bowie who died at 69 on January 10 after an 18-month-long battle with cancer was an itinerant experimenter – both with his music as well as his looks.

Those who've tracked Bowie's brilliant career and his rapidly changing musical style – from art rock, glam rock, soul, funk, and electronic – will find that Bowie's last album is a jazz album with the singer fronting a jazz band. A perfect epitaph for a storied life.

Few musicians do confessional songs as well as John Grant does. In his second album, Pale Green Ghosts, released in 2013, he is sad and bitterly angry, particularly because of a bad break-up with a partner and his songs, therefore, are replete with sharp barbs and cutting remarks about his ex done with finesse and great style.
Listen to GMF on the album, which, incidentally, features Sinéad O'Connor too, and you'll know what I mean. It's not only on his studio albums that Grant mixes his trademark cocktail of irony, humour, anger and bitterness so perfectly. In May last year, I saw Grant open for The Pixies in New York and he was equally adept at it live. That night he did songs from his first two studio albums – Queen of Denmark and Pale Green Ghosts – the first less bitter than the second, and engaged well with the audience (which comprised mainly hardcore Pixies fans, many of whom may not have heard him before) with his banter. Now, Grant's third album, Grey Tickles, Black Pressure, is out and it's yet another phase in the career of the Colorado-born musician who has made Iceland his home.
Also watch: John Grant – Global Warming
First, the album's title: apparently, it's a transliteration of Icelandic for midlife travails and Turkish for a bad dream. Intro (as is Outro) is a reading from the Bible's First Epistle to the Corinthians. But those apart, it is what you expect a John Grant album to be. Only, he may have surpassed himself with this third studio album of his. Its songs seethe, bristle, mock and rue. There are references to broken love; to lust; and to Grant's ongoing struggle with the fact that he is HIV positive. On You & Him, he's at his vitriolic best when he addresses an ex-lover: You and Hitler ought to get together/ You oughta learn to knit and wear matching sweaters, and elsewhere on the same song: You're so sweet I really love how you hate/ You seem like someone they should chemically castrate.
Grant is also self-critical to the point of being self-loathing on some of this album's tracks. In the title track, Grey Tickles, Black Pressure, he refers to (presumably, his) haemorrhoids, his memory lapses in middle-age, and his HIV. Sample: I can't believe I missed/ New York during the 70's/ I could have gotten a headstart/ In the world of disease/ I'm sure I would have contracted/ Every solitary thing.
But there's always more than the deep and emotion-laden lyrics that we've come to expect in Grant's songs – it is the evolution of his music. If Pale Green Ghosts had electronic pop via the synthesiser, which evidently Grant loves, the new album has synth runs that are multi-textured; bass lines that pulsate funkily; and a slickness that makes everything gleam.
Yet, I like Grant because of his words and because his voice, deep and full of warmth, makes even the meanest things he sings so enjoyable to listen to – such as (on Voodoo Doll): I made a voodoo doll of you/ And I gave it some chicken soup/ Did you feel any warmth down deep inside?/ Did you feel how your blues went away and died?
Tailpiece: I watched He Never Died, a new film by Jason Krawczyk, last week starring the 54-but-still-studly Henry Rollins, frontman of the erstwhile hardcore punk band, Black Flag. In the film, which is half comedy half horror, Rollins plays Jack, an immortal, reluctant cannibal who quickly turns violent. There's gore; there's blood; there's even a speck or two of love. It's an odd kind of film that has found some critical acclaim, particularly among non-mainstream audiences.
But I digress. Having watched Rollins, I longed to listen to some of his music. But instead of Black Flag, I found myself digging out 2009's The Dark Side of the Moon. Not the Pink Floyd original but the cover version by The Flaming Lips who were accompanied by Rollins. There's a version of Brain Damage with Rollins on vocals that is not to be missed. The album is titled The Flaming Lips and Stardeath and White Dwarfs with Henry Rollins and Peaches Doing The Dark Side of the Moon. It's a cover of Floyd's famous 1973 album done in its entirety. And done very well too. Worth checking out.

I think it was around the middle of this year or thereabouts that a new anthology of Miles Davis' tunes put together in a four-CD set was released. The common thread for most of those 40 tunes, which together run for nearly five hours, is that they are from live performances between 1955 and 1975 at the Newport Jazz Festival where Miles Davis had played gigs, beginning in the early years as a sideman, and then in later ones as band-leader.
The set showcases the works of the jazz trumpeter whose innovation, experimentation and influence has been singular. For years, since it was first held in 1954, the Newport Jazz Festival has been like the Holy Grail for jazz musicians and a venue which often marks a launching pad for the careers of the young and talented. Something of that sort may have happened to Miles Davis who was not yet 30 when he played at Newport in 1955.
On Disc One, the first three tracks were recorded at the festival that year and Davis was in the band but it was led by the legendary jazz pianist, Thelonious Monk. Davis was a sideman. But a sideman whose solos on the three tracks (Monk's Hackensack and 'Round Midnight, and Charlie Parker's Now's the Time) wowed the audience and the critics and is said to have got him his first major recording deal with Columbia.
Also watch: Bye Bye BlackBird – Miles Davis & John Coltrane Live at Newport '58
The next set of six tunes on Disc One was recorded at the festival in 1958. By then, Davis was the leader of a sextet whose other five members were Julian "Cannonball" Adderley (alto sax), John Coltrane (tenor sax), Bill Evans (piano), Paul Chambers (bass) and Jimmy Cobb (drums), names familiar to every jazz aficionado. The sextet did Parker's Ah-Leu-Cha, Monk's Straight, No Chaser, and Dizzy Gillespie and John Lewis' Two Bass Hit: bebop and cool jazz that is guaranteed to perk you up each time you listen to it.
By the time you proceed to Disc Two, it is 1966-1967, and Davis has a quintet now with Wayne Shorter on tenor sax, Herbie Hancock on piano, Ron Carter on bass, and Tony Williams on drums, all legends in their own right.
It's the last acoustic phase for Davis and the music of this era of his career is like a sneak preview of what is to come – the improvisations are less structured; the tempo is faster; and the contrast with his earlier era sound is rather dramatic.
For a demo, you could listen to the two versions of Monk's 'Round Midnight – the one on Disc One and the one on Disc Two. Then you hit Discs Three and Four and before you know it you're in Davis's electric territory. There's Chick Corea and Keith Jarrett playing electric piano; Michael Henderson is on the electric bass; and musicians such as Reggie Lucas and Pete Cosey are on electric guitars.
It's the 1970s and Davis has been releasing revolutionary albums such as Bitches' Brew; Jack Johnson; and On the Corner. The music is path-breaking; its mood psychedelic; and history is being made. On the 13-minute-long Directions, the opener on Disc Four, Davis is playing the electric trumpet, Jarrett is on electric piano and Henderson is slapping the electric bass. Things couldn't get any better.
The Newport box-set, titled Miles Davis at Newport 1955-1975: The Bootleg Series Vol. 4, is a journey that takes you on a trip that tracks the restless evolution of a highly talented trumpeter and one of jazz's biggest influencers. And, because it came out as an anthology in 2015, it has turned out to be one of my favourite albums of the year.
But just as a counterpoint to so many hours of jazz, I've got another album on frequent duty on my playlist. It's Grimes' Art Angels. Grimes is the stage name of Claire Elise Boucher, a Canadian singer, composer and producer, who is all of 27 years old. But her music is enigmatic and unclassifiable: it straddles uptempo pop; R&B and country; but also synthesiser-driven ambient sounds and experimental art pop.
Also watch: Grimes – Kill V. Maim – live in Chicago 2015
On Art Angels, which is her fourth studio album, the opener, Laughing and Not Being Normal is like a super-short operatic song; that is followed by California, a earworm-inducing peppy popsong; on the very next one, Scream, she's accompanied by a Taiwanese rapper and screams, shrieks and yelps to create a song that's strangely pleasing; and on REALiTi, she injects her song with a dose of electronic dance music that makes it so infectious that you want it to last longer than the five minutes it does.
Five, incidentally, is the longest in minutes that a Grimes track goes on for. Now compare that with the longest track in Davis's Newport box set: Funky Tonk (Disc Four) clocks in at 25 minutes and 44 seconds.

When you listen to Continuum, a song off Jaco Pastorius' solo debut album that came out in 1976, the electric bass he plays on it sounds like it is singing. As if it is not just a musical instrument but a voice.
On the same track Herbie Hancock plays the electric piano, Lenny White is on drums and Alex Darqui is on piano. All of them are great jazz musicians, accomplished and acclaimed, but Pastorius, then 25, stands spectacularly apart with his lyrical bass lines and instantly discernible talent. Pastorius lived for just 11 more years after that solo album came out, dying tragically after a violent brawl with a bouncer outside a Florida bar but his influence on generations of bassists – in jazz, fusion and even rock – has been profound.
Three decades after his untimely death, another famous bassist, hard rocking Metallica's Robert Trujillo, has unveiled a documentary, Jaco, that he has produced on the life of the legendary bassist. The film, released commercially only recently, features musicians such as jazz greats like Wayne Shorter and Herbie Hancock, funk's Bootsy Collins, rock's Carlos Santana and Flea, and singers Joni Mitchell and Sting who talk about the bassist, his life and his work.
The film has rare footage too, including clips from Pastorius' shows and his childhood. Then, of course, there is the music. The soundtrack of Jaco, available separately as well, is a trove of 12 songs that showcases the bassist's solo music; his work as part of the jazz fusion band Weather Report; his work as a collaborator with artists as diverse as Joni Mitchell and glam rocker Ian Hunter of Mott the Hoople; and also covers and tributes by musicians such as Mexican acoustic guitar duo Rodrigo y Gabriela and the rapper Tech N9ne.
Although Pastorius played both the double bass and the bass guitar, his hallmark was the use of a fretless instrument that gave the sound he produced enhanced fluidity. His technical abilities were outstanding as was his use of harmony. And many will swear that he is the best bass guitarist of all time.
But sadly his life was troubled. He suffered from acute bipolar disorder and his frequent alcohol and drug abuse didn't help matters. His family life ended unhappily and for a while towards the end he lived on the streets. On the Jaco (the soundtrack) album, his daughter Mary Pastorius has a song, Longing, which is a deep and poignant tribute to her father. And the tailpiece on the same album is an upbeat cover of the Pastorius song, Come On, Come Over, by Red Hot Chili peppers' Flea, Trujillo and his band, Mass Metal.
If your're a bass lover, this album can be a great way to begin exploring Pastorius' extensive discography.
Talking of extensive discographies, Bob Dylan's just got longer. The most recent addition to his Bootleg Series is Volume 12: The Cutting Edge 1965-66. These are 18 discs (yes, 18!) that make up a collector's edition of unreleased demos, outtakes and versions of every note or song that was played, replayed or botched up, during the recording of three Dylan albums from that period—Bringing it All Back Home, Highway 61 Revisited and Blonde On Blonde.
I love those albums and take them out often for a spin, but 18 discs of outtakes from their recording sessions may be a bit much. Especially since you'll have to listen to multiple takes of songs from those albums and a bit of studio banter. In case you're planning to spring for that 18-CD set do keep in mind that you'll get CD No. 4, which has 17 versions of Like A Rolling Stone – that is, in addition to the five versions on CD No. 3. Interested? I'm not.
What I am interested in, however, is Dylan's Bootleg Series Volume 11: The Basement Tapes Complete, which I own and I find quite satisfying. This one's a six-disc set of unofficial, home recordings of songs that formed the basis of The Basement Tapes album. The recordings are from 1967 and the band accompanying Dylan comprises Robbie Robertson (guitar, drums and vocals); Richard Manuel (piano, drums and vocals); Levon Helm (drums and vocals); Garth Hudson (keyboards); and Rick Danko (bass). Yes, the band that would shortly afterwards be called The Band.

There are times when I dig out and play the old copy of an album that has never left my collection of music. It's Jazz at Massey Hall by the Charlie Parker Quintet. It's an album that I have as a CD as well as in lossless digital files and if I get one in vinyl format I shall buy it. The concert took place in Toronto's Massey Hall on May 15, 1953.
The band was what we can (blasphemously) borrow from rock's lexicon to describe as a 'supergroup': Parker on saxophone; Dizzy Gillespie on trumpet; Charles Mingus on bass; Bud Powell on piano; and Max Roach on drums. These five were unarguably the stars of that era's bebop, each one on top of his game, and the concert was the first and only one that they recorded together. For Bird (Parker) and Diz (Gillespie), this was the last time they would record together because Parker died a couple of years later.
The concert is a perfect example of bebop, a jazz style that emerged in the 1940s and one that is characterized by a fast, uptempo and frenzied pace, and trademark solo improvisations by each player. All the five musicians were the best exponents of bebop and the album's six songs showcase their talent perfectly.
But what adds a mythical dimension to the album is its fascinating back story. First, the concert's organisers didn't realise that May 15, 1953 was also the date for a Rocky Marciano versus Jersey Joe Walcott boxing match with the result that they couldn't sell enough tickets to be able to pay the musicians. Second, Parker (his heroin addiction had made him infamous) landed up without his saxophone, which he had pawned ostensibly to get drug money. So he got a plastic sax from somewhere and played that through the gig. Third, pianist Bud Powell who was out with permission from a New York hospital where he was being treated for mental illness, came drunk and remained so through the performance. Fourth, Gillespie kept meandering off backstage between his solos to try and catch the commentary on the boxing bout and would come back and announce what was happening to the audience. Fifth, the original recording was so terrible that Mingus went back and re-dubbed his bass lines.
Yet, it's such a great album that one version of it is marketed with the title, The Greatest Jazz Concert Ever. As soon as the band begins with the sizzling opening tune, Perdido, which showcases both Parker's saxophone and Gillespie's trumpet, and then moves into Salt Peanuts (a Gillespie composition from 1942), you know that you're on to something unique here.
As you progress through the rest of the album – All the Things You Are, 52nd Street Theme (a Thelonius Monk composition), Wee (Allen's Alley), Hot House and, finally, A Night in Tunisia – things get even better. It is very rarely that I spin Jazz at Massey Hall and don't repeat it. It's just that kind of an album – I can't get enough of it.
I can't get enough of another band of six extremely talented musicians. Singer John Bell, bassist Dave Schools, lead guitarist Jimmy Herring, percussionist Domingo S Ortiz, keyboardist John Hermann, and drummer Todd Nance make up Widespread Panic, a band from Athens, Georgia, which is known more for its long jams and for its melding of rock, blues and folk music all with a southern twist.
This September they released a new album, Street Dogs, which was recorded live in a studio. It's their best studio effort in a long time. The 10 songs have a loose, live, gig vibe but yet are remarkably well recorded. The trademark Panic sound is there: John Bell's gravelly vocals infused with just the right touch of disquiet; the versatile Dave Schools who plays the bass guitar like it's a lead guitar; Ortiz and Nance's nicely complementing percussion and drums; Hermann's keyboard in a style that is redolent of New Orleans jazz; and above everything else Jimmy Herring's superlative lead guitar.
Widespread Panic struggled for a bit after they lost their original lead guitarist Michael Houser in 2002 but Herring (also a member of Aquarium Rescue Unit and Jazz is Dead – the latter a band that does Grateful Dead songs only in instrumental jazz style) is a perfect fit. On Street Dogs, his virtuosity as well as that of the other members shines brightly. If you've never heard Widespread Panic, get this album for a starter. And then go on to their live ones.

I'm sitting here on a Saturday evening and writing this in Vaasa, a city on the west coast of Finland. It has a population of 66,000; is walkably small; and the temperature at 5pm outside is around 10 degree Celsius. Inside, the heating makes it nice and comfortable and, I'm sipping a cup of chamomile tea.
Why I'm saying all this is because there's another thing about Vaasa or, perhaps, about all of Finland and most of Scandinavia – it is the quiet; the near total absence of noise or sound. It's almost as if you've a pair of noise cancelling headphones jammed on your head. That's why I'm listening to music sans my trusty earphones. I'm playing them through a moderately powerful wireless speaker system and my selection for this evening has begun with jazz. More specifically, it is John Scofield's new album, Past Present.
Also watch: John Scofield Quartet Live at Jazz
The album title is significant. Scofield is a jazz guitar maestro who has played with a range of musicians that is impressive not just because of their names (they include Miles Davis, Joe Henderson, Jaco Pastorius, Phil Lesh, John Mayer and Medeski, Martin & Wood) but also because of his ability to ace it with his guitar work in genres such as jazz, jazz-rock, rock, soul, blues… you name it, he's done it.
If you try to check out his own albums (the ones he has played as a leader of a band) you'll be spoilt for choice because there are nearly 50 of them since the 1970s that you would have to choose from. And if you want to also listen to ones on which he's played as a part of someone else's band (such as Billy Cobham, Miles Davis, Herbie Hancock and many, many more), you'll likely be staring at another 100 albums.
Also watch: John Scofield Quartet – Jazzwoche Burghausen 1994
In the 1980s, Scofield, a Berklee alum, now 63, turned from pure jazz to fusion – a genre that has marked his career for many years now. But, in the early 1990s, he and his quartet did a few albums for the venerable jazz label, Blue Note (on one of them, Time on My Hands, his band members included drummer Jack DeJohnette, saxophonist Joe Lovano and bassist Charile Haden).
These were works of pure jazz of the high-paced, up-tempo bebop kind and showcased each of the quartet member's virtuosity. But after two or three albums, Scofield went back to fusion and experimenting, playing with a range of musicians and dabbling in various genres, creating albums that sounded absolutely superb for many like us but perhaps not what would hook the purists.
In Past Present (and that is why it is significantly named), Scofield, saxophonist Lovano, drummer Bill Stewart (who'd played on some of Scofield's 1990s bebop compositions) and bassist Larry Grenadier, team up to deliver a jazz album that is played on traditional acoustic instruments (even Scofield's guitar is acoustic but powered by an amplifier).
The nine tracks are like a nostalgic trip back to the bebop era of the 1940s when rock hadn't dipped deeply into jazz's oeuvre to borrow heavily and fusion wasn't a word common in music. Listening to them at moderate volume levels amid Vaasa's quietness, I couldn't help but marvel at the greatness of members of Scofield's minimalist ensemble.
All the compositions are Scofield's and although they're wrought in the upbeat bebop style, there's something laidback and effortless about them – only musicians as good as these can make something sound so stunning without appearing to be trying hard at all! I also read that Past Present was composed by Scofield in memory of his son who died a few years back of cancer in his twenties. That added a tinge of sadness to Saturday evening's listening session.
After Scofield, I turned to India and chose a local band from my city. When Delhi band Man.Goes Human nudged me on Twitter to check out their new self-titled album, I wasn't sure what I was going to hear.
What I got was a big and very pleasant surprise. The band, which describes itself as purveyors of "Progressive, Classic, Alternative Rock", has everything that I look for in a band.
Their music (Noni on lead; Paul on vocals and guitar; Shitij who writes the lyrics and plays bass; and the remarkable Kaprila on vocals) has the requisite dose of originality despite the many obvious influences; what's more, it is refreshingly low-fi and not ear-splittingly loud. That's why they made it to my playlist. I think a Man.Goes Human gig could be worth checking out.

When Blak and Blu was released by Warner Bros in 2012, Gary Clark Jr became an instant sensation. Critics raved that the talented young blues guitarist and singer could be a revivalist for the genre. Clark is much more than that. If you've heard Blak and Blu, you know how the 31-year-old is able to take the blues, infuse it with his raucous guitar playing and easy, super-smooth style of singing, and elevate it to a level rarely heard.
Soon, Blak and Blu and the several gigs where the young Texan wowed audiences got him calls. Important ones — such as the one from Eric Clapton who invited him to play at his Crossroads Guitar Festival and is believed to have said that listening to Clark made him want to play the blues again. High praise came from others too: such as Buddy Guy who thinks Clark is the new saviour for the blues. And from bands such as The Rolling Stones and The Foo Fighters with whom he has also played.
Also watch: Gary Clark Jr.: Rock in Rio USA 2015
So, three years after I first heard Clark, on Blak and Blu, on a few live recordings, and in the Jon Favreau film, Chef, I couldn't wait to listen to his second studio album, The Story of Sonny Boy Slim, which came out last month. I was in for a surprise.
On Blak and Blu and the other live tracks, Clark's music is distinctive for its rawness: his guitar influences range from Jimi Hendrix to Stevie Ray Vaughan; but also, a bit oddly for a bluesman, the power chords and distorted notes of grunge bands — in fact, in a long interview to Relix magazine, Clark mentions Nirvana as one of his influences.
On Blak and Blu, the stand-out song is When My Train Pulls In, which, I think, showcases the bluesman's oeuvre the best. His music, even on a studio album, is like listening to a live band. Or at least that's what I thought. Till now.
On The Story of Sonny Boy Slim, the first thing that strikes you is the restraint. For the 13 songs, recorded not in an LA studio but in his hometown in Texas, Clark dropped his band and played every instrument on his own – diving deep into the music and making an album that is more like a personal project.
The searing guitar licks do show up on the new album but it also demonstrates how deep and mature a musician the young bluesman is. Genres are hopped with ease: from R&B (on Our Love) to gospel (on Church) to funk (on Can't Sleep). His guitar is still the biggest magnet of his music but he also shows how comfortable and versatile his vocals can be.
The a capella opening to the first song, The Healing, is deceptive — it soon segues into a high-energy scorcher. And by the time you're halfway into the album, and listening to Hold On, a song that is clearly a response to the resurgent racism in many parts of America, you are completely hooked to Clark. Again.
The other album that made its way to my playlist last fortnight was Craig Finn's (frontman of The Hold Steady) new solo album, Faith in the Future. The Hold Steady and Finn make songs that tell stories – dark, sad and odd ones – about characters that inhabit the urban underbelly. Their songs are tales about people that are treated unfortunately by circumstances.
Also watch: Craig Finn – Maggie I've Been Searching For Our Son
The 10 songs on the new Finn album aren't different. His booze-soaked bar-ready vocals; the bit of reverb in the music; and the stories that aren't going to make you happy. If you fancy a walk into the dark side, it's a perfect album to play. I like The Hold Steady, and their 2005 album, Separation Sunday, creeps back into my playlist often. Craig's storytelling is compelling though the stories are often disturbing. An album to play when you're down and intend to stay there for a while. What? That doesn't happen to you?
There are two tracks on Miles Davis's 1970 album, A Tribute to Jack Johnson: Right Off and Yesternow; the first is nearly 27 minutes long and the second nearly 26.
Originally intended as a soundtrack for a documentary on the legendary black boxer, it's probably the finest piece of electric jazz I've heard. Yes, finer than Bitches Brew. Oh, and who else besides the ace trumpeter is playing? Well, there's John McLaughlin (on guitar), Herbie Hancock (on organ), and Billy Cobham (on drums). Want more? There's also Dave Holland (on electric bass), Jack DeJohnette (on drums) and Chick Corea (on piano). Legends. Just like the album. Get a drink. Put it on. And switch off the lights.

Powerball Ticket Worth $1 Million Sold In St. Charles
For the first time ever, a Powerball player in Missouri has become a millionaire using the Power Play feature. Missouri Lottery records show one Powerball ticket sold at QuikTrip, 1640 S. 5th St. in St. Charles, for the April 29 drawing matched all five white-ball numbers drawn to win the $200,000 second-level prize. Records show the ticket owner used the additional $1 Power Play feature to multiply his or her winnings. Since the Power Play number drawn on April 29 was five, the prize is worth $1 million. The winning numbers are: 19, 30, 35, 40 and 41.
"This is the first time a Powerball winner in Missouri has become a millionaire using Power Play," said Gary Gonder, director of communications for the Missouri Lottery. "Not only can you win a life-changing prize by hitting the Powerball jackpot, but you can also become a millionaire by using Power Play."
Powerball winners have exactly 180 days from the drawing to claim their prize. In this case, the winner has until Oct. 26. If you discover you hold the winning ticket, sign the back and take it to a Missouri Lottery office. Offices are located in St. Louis, Jefferson City, Springfield and Independence. Maps to each office can be found at www.molottery.com.
For an extra $1 per play, Powerball's Power Play feature offers the chance to multiply prizes from $3 to $200,000 by two, three, four or five times their normal value. After each Wednesday and Saturday Powerball drawing, a wheel is spun to select that draw's Power Play number. The wheel has 16 spaces that are labeled as follows: 2, 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 3, 4, 4, 4, 4, 5, 5, 5, 5. On April 29, the Power Play number drawn was 5.
QuikTrip will receive a $10,000 bonus - five times the regular bonus - for selling a second-level Powerball prize with the Power Play.
This is the fourth Missouri Lottery ticket sold worth $1 million or more in the past three weeks. On April 12, a group of 13 co-workers from Florissant shared a Missouri record $224.2 million Powerball jackpot. On April 19, two co-workers for the Jefferson City News Tribune shared a Missouri Lotto jackpot worth $2.6 million. On April 22, a Houston man won the first top prize in the Lottery's new "Lifetime Riches" Scratchers game, getting a choice of $50,000 a year for life or a cash prize of $800,000.

If it fits it ships…..Same day courier
Same Day Courier Same day Service!
Remember the popular FedEx advertisement and promotion that if it fits, it ships for $4. 75 as long as whatever you were shipping could fit in the box they would ship it for you, of course it wasn't a same day courier service, but it's an example of how marketing can be used well by courier companies as well others. It also shows how cost effective it can be for the customer.
Well, today, same day courier service has a deal for you. If it fits it ships on the same day. Yes! And unlike the terms and conditionality of the FedEx promotion, there is no complicated catch. There is not even any greatly limiting, specific size or weight restriction on our deal. All the usual rules and stipulations for delivering packages with us apply just the same with no complex tweaks or catches. Simply, provide your details, the address and name of receiver and payment. Thereafter, your package will be well on its way to its destination on the same day. That is the beauty of the same day courier service!
No games or gimmicks. Same day delivery done within the same day. Because that is just who they are, a same day courier. Plus, if you do not require immediate relocation of the package, there are also other delivery time frame options available, often for cheaper prices. Same day couriers do all the work so you do not have to.
What about insurance? Well now you mention it, as part of your same day service each van which is deployed into action comes insured with £10,000 of insurance. So you know you have that added peace of mind as well as the failsafe should you need to go that route.
If you are looking for experienced couriers, you need to seriously consider how experienced a courier company can be. 25 years is no mean feet in the transport industry. So you know that beyond all odds you have a safe, trustworthy and reliable same day courier at your service.
How do you know they have availability? Well with 1300 courier vehicles and nationwide same day delivery, you know they cannot be too far away from reaching you. The time they respond within is usually within only 1 hour. Now that's impressive!

I need to buy a phone in the US for somebody else to use in Mexico.
My mom moved to Mexico recently, and I have had a hard time contacting her via phone. She's staying with relatives of her boyfriend, but it seems like she's not able to use their phone to make international calls. I'd like to get her a mobile phone that she can use to call me and her other kids (or anybody else), but I'm a bit overwhelmed by what I'm finding with google - a lot of which seems targeted to making international calls from the US to other countries or just seems spammy. What is a good way to buy a phone here and send it to Mexico? [more inside]
X11 apps on Ubuntu Touch?
Ubuntu touch preview does not use X11 for graphics. The repository for armhf contains virtually all apps available in desktop Ubuntu, but they cannot be run directly on the tablet (Nexus 10 in my case). Is there a way to run those using a virtual X-server, perhaps passing through local VNC to be displayed? I have ssh access to the device, so I can run commands normally.
Cell phone options for a short trip to Canada
We're driving from NY to Montreal for a short 5-day trip, and we'll need to be able to make a few calls and/or send and receive texts while on the road. I've found a bunch of older answers to very similar questions (for example) but surely things are better by now? What are my cheap prepaid (I assume) options for a short trip to Canada? Is there a simple way to pick up a prepaid SIM card over the border and use it for the trip? [more inside]

Where Can I Learn About Mobile Software Development?
I'm back in the web software development world after about 7 years selling already developed software. Mobile software development barely existed the last time I talked to a client about development projects. I understand the web side of things just fine still. Mobile I'm clueless on. Is there a good book or maybe website(s) that will help get me up to speed, and stay there? I'm running sales, so I'm not going to be writing any code. [more inside]

How much do Android updates matter?
People keep emphasizing that a major advantage of Nexus mobile phones is that Google will update them to the latest version of Android. But does it really make a huge difference going from a .x to .x+1 Android release when you have so many apps that can modify every aspect of your phone, not to mention what you can do with alternative firmware like CyanogenMod?

What are the best podcasts that focus on current and potential future trends in mobile (smartphones, tablets)?
I'm going to thailand. I bought a used ATT iPhone 3GS. Now what?
I'm heading to Bangkok in ten days for about two weeks. I looked into using my iPhone 5 overseas and the answers from ATT made me think twice about it. So for 100 bucks I bought a used Iphone 3GS. I figure I'd just buy a sim card there and I'd be all set. But then I thought I should check. Do I need to unlock it? or jailbreak it? Is there anything specific to Thailand and Iphones I need to know? What's the process here?
What was the name of that well-funded mobile app that flopped?
A year or two ago there was a heavily funded mobile startup out of Silicon Valley - I think it had $100 million or more in funding - that never quite got off the ground. I feel like it had a simple one-word name. Anyone remember?

Where can I find market share for mobile phones and tablets?
I need to find device-specific US market share for mobile phones and tablets. I can find plenty of info on mobile/tablet OS and browser market share, but I need % market share for Google Nexus, iPad Mini, etc.
Who Said It?
Paraphrased: "It's not that that half of your visitors will be on mobile devices, it's that all your visitors will be on mobile devices half the time." Who said it? I saw it on Twitter a few weeks ago and can't find it anywhere.

Help me choose a framework for my mobile app
I want to build a mobile application (iOS + Android) that communicates with a server. It'll be a fairly simple application - fill out a form or two on the mobile device and post it, along with a photo and geolocation info, to a server. My background is in Java/J2EE and I'm looking to branch out into more modern technology. What frameworks / languages / technologies would you recommend I investigate? [more inside]

t-mobile unlocking in the uk for iphone
How can I unlock an iphone tied to t-mobile in the UK? I have received as a Christmas present an iphone which is locked to t-mobile. I am currently on an 02 contract that ties me for a further 6 months. Clearly, I would like to use my 02 sim with this iphone, however, when I went to a shop who specialised in phone unlocking, to get it unlocked, I was told that he could not unlock it and that it would take atleast a month to get t-mobile to unlock it. It was also mentioned that the merger of t-mobile in to the new company everything everywhere will probably delay the unlocking further. I am getting the impression that I will be forced to take out a t-mobile contract as it stands. Anyone out there have any recent knowledge about t-mobile unlocking. Many thanks!
