You've always believed in playing exactly the way you wanted to at all times?
Course. I want to see if I can do it.
There was the period when you seemed to be using the mute quite a lot.
I use it if I want to play something, here and there. Not because some people said to me : "Miles, you sound good with a mute." I know it sounds good, else I wouldn't pick it up.
On a lot of the records that were very successful, tracks like "All Of You" and "Bye Bye Blackbird", when you played with the mute close to the mike, you had what came to be known as the Miles Davis sound.
I got it from Dizzy.
I don't remember hearing that sound from Dizzy.
Listen to `Ko Ko". But, you see, all my ideas of a tone come from listening to trumpet players who play round—with no tag on the end of the tone. I would never try and play like Harry James, because I don't like his tone—for me.
It's too sort of creamy, I suppose.
What you call creamy and what I call creamy may be two different things. It's just white. You know what I mean? He has what we black trumpet players call a white sound. But it's for white music.

I Can't believe they have produced a Re-Make of this early 80's classic. What a joke.
Can't they ruin something else before they ruin classics. You know, maybe their careers or relationships. LOL Here's the trailer for the new 2011 version with Collin Ferrell.
...And here's the trailer of the REAL one from 1980's which was the second highest grossing horror movie of 1985 behind A Nightmare on Elm Street.
“With women, I've got a long bamboo pole with a leather loop on the end. I slip the loop around their necks so they can't get away or come too close. Like catching snakes.”
A COLLECTION OF YESTERDAY
"These slides were obtained from "estate sales" and vernacular photographic collector (another aggregator personality). He has been collecting found slides and photos for a longer time than I hence, the fabulous images. Again, I restored the slides after scanning just as I have with my other slides, due to extreme blueness or darkness or spots."
Wow, these old pictures were lost, but not forgotten thanks to the person that collected these and fixed them and put them up on the web for the world to see. Must see all of these. Check out the source link!

...And the funny, stupid shit they do to their pets.
Sometimes I hear pet owners talk about their pets like they physically gave birth to them. I understand you love your little shitting on the rug animals but some of the things are borderline abuse. Okay, maybe I’m exaggerating a little. I enjoy seeing your animals dressed up funny. The day you try to marry them, then I’ll object.

The rent is too damn high, artist's can't pay that shit!
Massachusetts isn't the only state beset by a talent drain from young people looking to move because of the high cost of living --- New York could face a similar challenge.
According to the latest NY1/YNN-Marist Poll of New York State, 36 percent of New Yorkers under 30 years old say they're likely to move to another state.
The survey looked at New York state residents of all ages. Of residents who expect to leave New York, 62 percent cited economic reasons such as jobs, the cost of living, or taxes, the poll found. (This telephone survey of 941 New York State adults was conducted on April 25 through April 29, Marist said.)
"Right now, many young people do not see their future in New York State,” Lee M. Miringoff, director of the Marist College Institute for Public Opinion, said in a statement. “Unchecked, this threatens to drain the state of the next generation.”
Massachusetts officials have similar concerns. Last month, the Commonwealth Marketing Office, a state agency, disclosed plans to launch an intern initiative that aims to keep talented young people in Massachusetts.
"The Mass Stay Here Internship Site is a comprehensive statewide internship resource that will highlight and increase internship opportunities, and send a clear and consistent message to the Commonwealth's college students and recent graduates that Massachusetts wants you to stay here," the Commonwealth Marketing Office said in a press release.

JEN STARK'S "BELIEVER"
This is a hypnotizing video by paper artist Jen Stark. I consider this – a sort of contemporary psychedelic joy ride. Come in it and enjoy.
Photographer Kirsty Mitchell merged her love for photography with her other passions – fashion design, costume making, art/film history, and the natural beauty of English landscapes – in her haunting and skillfully styled series titled Wonderland. The project started as a tribute to Mitchell’s mother (who had passed away shortly before its inception); and the destined collaboration with makeup and hairstylist Elbie Van Eeden turned the creation of these fairytale characters into a true emotional journey. Mitchell paid particular attention to the landscape, seeking out pockets of flowers that bloom for only a few weeks out of the year. All of the characters in the Wonderland series came to Mitchell in her dreams, and the natural outdoor scenery combined with scavenged props and treasures (they had not budget) made for mystical storybook images. Have a look:

RIDING THE
FUTURE
Benedict Redgrove is really good at getting the crisp photos of the hottest cars and getting the best shots of luxury goods and product photos. He can do more too. He cleverly shows it shot by shot. This car is sick! It looks like it’s from the future, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was made in the 60's or 70's. Wow.
