The man that hath no music in himself,
Nor is not moved with concord of sweet sounds,
Is fit for treasons, stratagems, and spoils.
The motions of his spirit are dull as night,
And his affections dark as Erebus.
Let no such man be trusted.

I missed them completely when they were first released, MI.  I didn't pay them any mind until a friend of mine at the museum shop told me they were some of his favorites.

Well they don't make films like these anymore. Fun all-around with a sense of adventure.

he was as f*cked-up as you are."

;D   I'm having a fine old time, so many buttons... The sound system rocks, this morning I plugged in the ole iPod and cranked some Beethoven, Chopin, and Exile on Main St. -- sounded great in all three.

Wow, look at him! All motorized, shiny and jazzy, way to go, bro! 8)

I'm not that versed in jazz but that sound system sure could use Lee Morgan's Sidewinder, has awesome bass line. Also Eric Dolphy's Out to lunch, and more Mingus.

I'm not at all versed in jazz either, just trying a few things out.  I'll add those to the list (though I am exercising caution -- I really don't need another half dozen shelves of CDs in my house!).  At this point I'm just doing some sampling to see what types of jazz I like.  Up to now I had only some Louis Armstrong, some late 50s Miles Davis, and a few other scattered jazz CDs; I figured it was time to expand my horizons a bit.

I think the thing that amuses me most about the Cruze is how quiet it is... not as quiet as a hybrid or anything, but surprisingly so for a small car; it's got acoustic insulation built into it, and I can even hear the soft passages in Chopin clearly while driving at highway speeds.  (Of course I was driving an 8 year old Ford, so my basis of comparison is low).  This will definitely add over an hour of quality music listening time to my day -- I'm pretty stoked. 

Tonight I may inflict some Mahler on it, and see how loud the speakers can get.   ;D   I recently picked up Levine's partial set, maybe I'll try out the 6th.

just got a used copy on Amazon for $14 - everything from the first five Sabbath albums, a hell of a deal compared to the $200 box set
