Official Trailer for the Movie
The movie was great but a bummer.

Again, I love Jerry Miller on electric guitar.

Several culinary legends are related to the Battle of Vienna.
One legend is that the croissant was invented in Vienna, either in 1683 or during the earlier siege in 1529, to celebrate the defeat of the Ottoman attack on the city, with the shape referring to the crescents on the Ottoman flags. This version of the origin of the croissant is supported by the fact that croissants in France are a variant of Viennoiserie, and by the French popular belief that Vienna-born Marie Antoinette introduced the pastry to France in 1770.
Another legend from Vienna has the first bagel as being a gift to King John III Sobieski to commemorate the King's victory over the Ottomans. It was fashioned in the form of a stirrup to commemorate the victorious charge by the Polish cavalry. The veracity of this legend is uncertain, as there is a reference in 1610 to a bread with a similar-sounding name, which may or may not have been the bagel.
There is an often recited story that, after the battle, the Viennese discovered many bags of coffee in the abandoned Ottoman encampment. The story goes on that, using this captured stock, Franciszek Jerzy Kulczycki opened the first coffeehouse in Vienna and one of his ideas was to serve coffee with milk, a practice that was unknown in the Islamic world.[42][43] However, this story was first mentioned in 1783; the first coffeehouse in Vienna had been established by the Armenian Johannes Theodat in 1685.[44]
Croissants, bagels, coffee, and Sobieski, that's like four of the seven main food groups! (The other three are onion, potato, and kielbasa)
The video has subtitles in Polish. I don't speak Polish except for some very few swears (swearing in multiple languages is essential to a full life) but as a MAD Magazine reader, it amuses me to no end that "potrzebie" is an actual word.
The Portal credits song "Still Alive" came on the local radio station this morning.
I've been listening to a lot of Windhand lately. I love, love, love stoner/doom metal. While listening to Windhand's newest album, I discovered that Dorthia Cottrell (singer for Windhand) has a solo album.
It's pretty damn amazing. She has such a haunting and heartbreaking voice.
Sputnik Music pretty much summed up her album: "Review Summary: Folk music in the moonlight, in front of a campfire, sang by a witch."
LOL

The Hu are great, so far they only have one show in america and im seriously considering driving the many hours to it
Still listening to Liquid Mind.
Vintage Who. Gotta love them, especially this song. One of my favorites.
"It's a put on!"
This song is amazing, because it's quite unlike most of The Who's other work. All good, mind you. But this particular song seems to bridge the gap from rock, to jazz, and then to funk. All this early on in their careers. That's why it's so amazing.
On spotify now....The Green Manalishi by Fleetwood Mac
I think most people dont realize Fleetwood Mac wrote that song, not Judas Priest
I ran across this on Spotify. Well, first I found Cathedral's cover of Black Sabbath's Solitude on Youtube and found the tribute album on Spotify. Good stuff 
Sometimes a friend texts you over relationship troubles over the same mess you've already seen before. And then an old country song pops in your head and won't go away, making you judge your own thoughts entirely too much.
Come In Out of the Pain - Doug Stone
Atleast it's a good song.
In reply to stanger_missle :
I'm a pretty big fan of the versions of Supernaut and Sabbath Bloody Sabbath off that album
I love 40's and 50's era saxaphone jazz. Lester Young is a favorite.
Now that is sweet! I recently bought a baritone sax to go with my others, so I'm listening to a lot of Gerry Mulligen these days. Anything he did is worth a listen. I particularly like his version of Satin Doll. Also a big fan of Johnny Hodges and Paul Desmond (Altos) and Stan Getz (tenor).
Scott Hamilton somewhere in Yurp
This guy is amazing. Great classic tenor sax jazz artist. RI native. I saw him perform locally years ago, and again a few years ago at Chan's. Now he lives in London, and he's an international star. So talented. I listen to his Pandora station all the time.
