Comment:

I had my car stereo blaring while waiting for the traffic to thin out after Friday night's Yankee game. A woman, in her sixties at least, waiting to get onto the ferry started screaming "Can you please turn that down! It's not even music! What is that?" I was a high school teenager again. I turned it up.A mix for sixty year old women with inquisitve ears. Track numbers are mere gestures.

The real question is this: what exactly were you listening to when the woman screamed at you?Oh, and what I know, I like -- bunches!

Many years ago I bought a Cecil Taylor CD at a record store while on the road with my boss and he told me that there was a very strict company policy against playing ANY "headache jazz" in his presence. It never made me want to play a CD in the car more.Intriguing mix as always.

Hilarious and pure Burnsian artistry! (We'd expect nothing else as a response to said woman-VOLUME!)

Brilliant Joe Morris pick. Yeah, what is it about others distaste for things making them more appealing?

good stuff, Curtis. Did you turn it up to eleven? Woops! Someone already said that. I think you should have added injury to insult and ran her over.

Tsk, tsk...Curtis, you are such a bad boy...semi-familiar with about 1/5 o' this...then again, "it's not even music", so I don't feel so bad, : )
