"I have to tell you gentle reader, that Ken saved my life. This seemingly simple man literally ripped me from the clutches of death. This album, the words, the music, the aura changed me in so many ways. You see I was what one might call a late bloomer, I did not have a girlfriend until I was well into my thirties. I owe it all to Ken. I was at the local Sam Goodies try to get my hands on a few rare Herb Alpert bootlegs, and I came across this gem. It was a fluke really, it was the last copy of the album they had, and it had accidentally fallen into the waste basket. This man's piercing stare captivated me. I was hypnotized in a way.

Well, I got it home and listened; whew it was a sonic event. Full stereo and just amazing. As I listened I stared into his eyes, and it was like he was saying to me "hey, I did it; so can you". The next morning I went out and got myself a leisure suit from Goodwill, and set out to find someone who was willing to cut my hair like his. I had to finally sign a liability waiver at Super Cuts, but they did it. Over the next few weeks, as my mutton chops grew in, I took some dance lessons at the famous Fred Astaire school of dance. Then it happened.

I was out one night at the Bowl 'O Rama, and she walked in. Almost immediately I heard the immortal words of ken, from track number three "She ain't no lady, she's my sister". It was clear as day, I heard it right in my left ear, he sang like an angel; "She aint gonna tell nobody, go for it". So I asked her back to my place, and as soon as I put the album on....

Well, let's just say I had to fill a few requests that night.

Thanks Ken"

woah. i always saw and imagined keith jarrett looking like the fro-headed dude in the third pic, not like the gangly norman rockwell looking dude in the first. why does firefox underline 'gangly' like i'm spelling it wrong. fucking shitty-assed spellchecker. anyway.

neat little blurb about the 60s in ethiopia. i just found a good ethiopian r&b/soul/funk comp.

Quoted: Alemayehu Eshete is sometimes referred to as the Ethiopian James Brown, and recorded what some consider to be the greatest song ever recorded, Mèkèyèrshin Salawq. ...

hmm.. i agree that this is a very good thing. maybe drm will be totally gone by next year?

drm-free hits the big times. 256 kbps mp3s? not too shabby. still, no packaging art and its too expensive.

Quoted: Download popular music, classical music, new releases and more, in MP3 format. Most songs are $0.99 and most albums are $9.99 or less.

drm-ed files, misrepresented amount of content, no actual contracts, and no actual p2p service. basically this is a fly-by-night operation unless it is really able to pull this off the ground. but i highly doubt they will succeed. and if they do, itll only be by paying the record labels in hard cash, and biting the bullet for ad sales profits (or a lack thereof) on the site.

One day we'll have to be a really good chef
And I don't mean us in the bush making meth
