Hey all, love the GIF (and the ability to stop it).
My family has deserted me tonight, thinking of going to this concert after work...

OCTOBER 28, 2016 - 8PM
MUHAL RICHARD ABRAMS TRIO
Featuring:
Dr. Muhal Richard Abrams - piano
Tom Chiu - violin
Meaghan Burke - cello
* * *
BLUIETT MUSIC
Featuring:
Hamiet Bluiett - baritone saxophone
D.D. Jackson - piano
James Brandon Lewis - tenor saxophone
Reggie Nicholson - drums
Luke Stewart - bass

Of course, I probably should just go home and take care of the stuff I've been putting off, I'll see how much energy I have to deal with going to Manhattan (and if tickets are still available if I do get the get up and go...)

Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 8:43am Gary:

Ah, when I got here the GIF wasn't GiFfing, but I see that when you click on it, it GIFs. That said, I have clicked back on it to stop it from GIFfing, and that's probably where it will stay.

Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 8:49am doctorjazz:

Is male bonding still OK in the age of Trump? I think he's damaged it considerably.

Difficult bonding with five chickens, three cats and a dog. Me, the only one still with their nuts.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 8:50am doctorjazz:

I seriously question whether the pledg-O-meter is actually working at this point. So if you pledge and see no movement, I am CERTAIN the pledge is going into WFMU's happy place. It just might not be graphically represented on the pledge thingy.

I am SO sorry about that! But keep pledging!

I don't think that's a flange, it's a poor-quality MP3. Just as with this Crusader recording.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:21am Little Danny:

I wish all of my low quality MP3s had sinus-clearing phasing like this!
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 10:21am Uncle Michael:

Was about to ask if the flanging is on this record in the signal path. I've heard a lot of bad MP3 but none of them ever flanged.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 10:21am Brian in UK:

Sounds like phasing from the late Sixties.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 10:23am Parq:

Sounded like a police-siren effect -- which fit the Wallace song.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:24am Doug Schulkind:

My guess is the original digitzer of those tracks did them out of phase.

What kind of bottle, exactly, Connie?

@Doug strange, I have never heard bad quality mp3's flange but it could be the case with these recordings. Anyways it wasn't a turnoff, electro-country!
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 10:25am Uncle Michael:

It's back Doug.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:25am Doug Schulkind:

No, it was HUMAN ERROR. I somehow clicked the Flange button on my MP3 software.

What an idiot.

I am genuinely pleased by this flanging artifactory.

Then there's the iconic library in literature, Borges' Library of Babel. (I'm ashamed to admit I have yet to read Eco's Name of the Rose.)

Favorite book of historical bibliography: Allan Stevenson, The Problem of the Missale Speciale. Devoured it one sitting in my library school library. Stevenson observes the shifting watermarks in an incunable. From the evidence he begins to deduce the procedure and chronology by which the book was made.
