Actually, that makes sense to me as an explanation that people don't necessarily like slower music better, yet how a bad faster song will clear the floor more easily than a bad slower song. I suppose the argument really applies more to the debate on JiveJunction about why people like slower music be...

Speaking of which, are there any new great big band style songs being composed out there? Or which have been within the last 10 years?

No idea what I did my first time in France, but my first public set in the U.S. was: Coleman Hawkins - something unlabeled Bunny Berrigan - Jazz Me Blues Duke Ellington - Harlem Airshaft Jay McShann - Swingmatism Bunny Berrigan - Can't Help Lovin' that Man of Mine Count Basie - The Apple Jump Duke E...

Thanks, boys!

Not the red & white RCA's. The big long plugs that go into fancy things. *smile* God, I sound stupid. I'll take measuring tape and try to size up the jacks tonight if you want.

Yup, standard mini. I'd say the other end looks like a pretty standard "big jack." Not like a TV, but more like the size huge headphones plug into. Is that enough? Actually, now that I think about it, maybe this mixer uses two inputs...do they make them in Y cords? Also, posted this in the...

I need a cord to run from a discman to a big ol' mixer for a room's sound system, because the built-in CD player sucks. I will also need an adapter to change the size of the plug going into the mixer end. I can't search for prices on these, which I need to turn in w/ a budget request tomorrow, becau...

Anyone else peeved that when you go to your wishlist now, you can't see what all the items go for used on Amazon Marketplace? Sure, it's a few bucks cheaper there than at Half.com, usually, but it doesn't seem worth it if you have to click on each item separately to see its used price. If any of you...

AH HA! I KNEW IT! I knew there was a secret organization of dancers out there practicing East Coast behind locked doors! A sort of swing dance based organization very much akin to the Stone Cutters. I've heard about you fiends breaking down every retro move from clips like, "Swingers." Yo...

It is.

The one I've got is 2:42.

Are there any versions out there that are significantly longer? Are they still badass?

Found em! At least, Olivier's ("Brother Swing") headphones I tried out. Philips HS810. http://www.mghusa.com/Products/lgimages/HS-800.jpg I couldn't find them philips.com or magnavox.com, so I guess they must be discontinued? I did find one site on a Google search that will sell them, but ...

Has anyone listened to pretty much the whole thing? Is it worth buying the whole thing at once from Amazon or should I just pick & choose individual discs from used CD shops as I see them? I figure a lot of it's going to be later stuff that might not be very danceable... I'm afraid jumping on th...

It's all about the library.

Especially since I can get things sent over to my branch from all the different branches just before I change cities, and they'll be ready when I get there.

Don't think anyone has posted this...

Search for slimslam or for macvooty on Live365 or look under Jazz on iTunes radio.

All Slim, all the time.
