Thanks for responding. I'm making the tea but I do find it interesting and I will return to this later.

I don't think they are being disingenuous, certainly not the UK based posters. Let me ask then, does it basically revolve around abortion and sexuality or is it more than that?

Ah right thanks. I assume at some point this thread will get locked albeit not for a while, wonder if it'll run up to inauguration or be binned in the nearer future?

Arrgh, managed to delete my list of of finally tuned guesses. Will do it again quickly after tea, but if it turns out to be not as good as my first effort which was definitely at least 86% right, that'll be why. Unrelated - at the moment pretty much the only adverts I get on BM are for Saucony...

Tea time.

Nah it's just idlesness.

@Dax777 did you respond to the questions re the GOP Vs Dems re. Christian principles? We don't really have that same politics/religion intersection here (anymore) so it's quite interesting to me.

Right, Jimmy Smith fans which track do you want? Back at the Chicken Shack just misses the 960 cut off, The Sermon is a showcase but it's 20+ mins long - anyone want to suggest another ? @RobMCFC you'll be wanting to listen to him I think.

@ChicagoBlue I'm curious what your motivations for turning to far left extremism were? I must admit I struggle to envisage both you and @FogBlueInSanFran going to bed at night clutching your limited edition Marx and Engels hot water bottles. I've looked at both my copy of Das Kapital and VI's...

Unless she joins a cult and disappears, she's going to haunt public life at these kind of events for years to come. Maybe it's right that she does, so she can finally provide some service to the nation as a walking cautionary tale.

Sounds like a good haul, we should defo stick tracks from at least a couple of those on the playlist. I noticed a while back that Blue Note and Verve were sharing catalogue reissues which I thought was a bit odd until someone explained to me they are both owned by Universal these days :-(

I personally think it's a harsh portrayal of her. She's branched out from jazz at times but I think jazz was and remains her first love. Her Dad played stride and Ray Brown took her under his wing. She's suffered a bit from being marketed as the golden girl etc. She's not a great innovator or...

Well, I think after that we can definitely add Stormy Weather too the playlist :-(

This whole discussion around the Democrats "talking down to ordinary people" confuses me. How much "talking down to" has actually gone on and how much is it people simply falling for populism 101? There's definitely been times where the Democrats have walked into traps and given Trump the...

Agree, seen her a few times including at the RAH. But she wasn't even born in the era we're discussing now so we probably need to desist to avoid slapped wrists from Robert!!!

Sorry just edited it - Norah Jones.

Jones is American. There's a couple of emerging brit singers who I really like but they have a long way to go. Krall sometimes gets dismissed as pizza express jazz but I think she's excellent. But we shouldn't be surprised, for all that it's been adopted around the world, fundamentally Jazz...

Absolutely no argument from me on that.

Haha. I've just noticed you've relocated Ipanema across the pacific ocean! :-)

Well Transnistria has been providing a pretext for decades but despite extensive Russian interference, Moldava has just made it pretty clear in their recent elections which trajectory it wants to pursue so the west abandons them at their peril. The CSIS has made it clear where it thinks US...
