Another edition of Weinstein's babes. Had to put in 4 pictures since I was out with the flu last week, but I hope this makes up for it.

Just try and pronounce the name.

Kyle Maynard was born with under developed arms and legs....he made is MMA debut over the weekend and not surprisingly, loss. Surprisingly though, he wasn't knocked out, submitted or even lost to a TKO....his loss came via unanimous decision

its not like he came in with no experience whatsoever...he's an accomplished wrestler and has even competed in submission wrestling tournaments

scary right?....like something out of the movie FREAKS

Diggin' in the Crates "Take the Coltrane" Edition

Last year, when I came back from the New York CD & Record Show in Wilkes-Barre, PA and showed off my newest aquisitions here (crossposted with my LiveJournal), a longtime LJ friend told me, "I'm super jealous of all your Coltrane."

So, after giving her fair warning with the mantra of Randy Bachman ("You ain't seen nothing yet"), I pulled out all of the 'Trane vinyls I had to date, grabbed my digital camera, and set them up like so:

From top to bottom:

• A Love Supreme (Impulse!/GRP, 1995 180-gram reissue)
• John Coltrane and Johnny Hartman (Impulse/GRP, 1995 180-gram reissue)
• Crescent (Impulse/GRP, 1995 180-gram reissue)
• The Coltrane Legacy (Atlantic, pressing date unknown)
• Coltrane Live at the Village Vanguard Again! (ABC Impulse! mid-70's repress with green target label)
• Impressions (MCA/Impulse!, 1980's repress, blue label, non-gatefold)
• The Stardust Session (Prestige/Fantasy, 1975 original pressing)
• Kulu Se Mama (MCA/Impulse!, 1980's repress, blue label, non-gatefold)
• Coltrane Live at Birdland (ABC Impulse mid-70's repress with green target label)
• Coltrane/Prestige 7105 (Prestige/Fantasy, 1987 "Original Jazz Classics" reissue)
• Coltrane's Sound (Atlantic, pressing date unknown)
• The Best of John Coltrane (Atlantic, pressing date unknown)
• My Favorite Things (Atlantic, pressing date unknown)
• The Mastery of John Coltrane, Vol. III: Jupiter Variation (ABC Impulse, 1978 original pressing)
• The Mastery of John Coltrane, Vol. I: Feel Good (ABC Impulse, 1978 original pressing)
• The Mastery of John Coltrane, Vol. IV: Trane's Modes (ABC Impulse, 1979 original pressing)
• Alternate Takes (Atlantic, pressing date unknown)
• Sun Ship (MCA/Victor, 1976 Japanese pressing)
• Soul Trane (Prestige/Fantasy, repress of "Original Jazz Classics" reissue)
• Blue Train (Blue Note/Manhattan/EMI, pressing date unknown)
• Giant Steps (Rhino/Atlantic, early 2000's 180-gram reissue)

To date, I think I've only added one Coltrane vinyl to my collection since those pictures were taken, the 200-gram double vinyl edition of Impulse!'s archival Coltrane release One Down, One Up: Live at the Half-Note. 

At the end of the post, I warned my friend, "Don't make me break out all of my Miles Davis vinyls." I haven't done a hard count, but I probably have more Miles vinyl than I do Coltrane vinyl. Maybe someday soon, I'll do a similar photo shoot and blog post with those records...

...R U the tooth fairy?

it's my bedtime..

Bollywood Babes

Gauhar Khan
Weinstein back with another edition of Babes...ahh with the last name Khan you can be sure this dame is Muslim. Nothing wrong with that.

This chick is a model based out of New Delhi. Weinstein will say it again, India has some of the hottest muslims on the planet. Thankfully they don't adhere to the terrorists, so we can enjoy these.
To quote SOG, Badass!

More nico dance

You can tell this girl is on some kinda humorous tip...

Diggin' in the Crates "Six of Frank, Half a Dozen of Sinatra" Edition

Every once in a while, I get in the mood for the music of Francis Albert Sinatra, and and I'm in the beginning of one of those periods:

Additionally, there have been times when I feel the need to kickstart or expand certain parts of my vinyl collection. Last year, after I got my Numark TTUSB, I started grabbing Miles Davis and John Coltrane records, then records on the Blue Note label. Now, I'm expanding my very meager collection of Frank vinyls (as of this writing, 90% of my Sinatra library is on CD). A first package of six Sinatra LPs from eBay arrived in my PO Box over the weekend, and I bought a second lot that includes the vinyl of one of my favorite Frank albums, Songs for Swingin' Lovers, this afternoon. Until that package arrives, here's the exact booty I opened up today:

Clockwise from top left:

• Tommy Dorsey and his Orchestra featuring Frank Sinatra (Cornet CX-186, 1963)
• That's Life (Reprise, 1966)
• The Broadway Kick (Columbia, 1959)
• Adventures of the Heart (Columbia, 1957)
• Frank Sinatra Sings for Only the Lonely (Capitol, 1958)
• Pal Joey soundtrack (Capitol, 1957)

The two Columbia albums are really compilations of material from when he was with that label for about the first decade or so of his solo career, and the Tommy Dorsey album, or at least Sinatra's cuts on it (only half the songs on the album feature Frank's vocals), predate even those recordings. Also... ALL of these albums are in MONO. I've only played The Broadway Kick and That's Life (the latter is spinning on my turntable in the top photograph and just finished playing Side 2 while I was writing this) but they sound pretty damn  good for records that are eight and one years older than I am! So, yep, vintage pressings all around (the two Columbia releases are with the "six-eye" labels, trainspotters...). 

In a side note, I'm not completely sure of the legitimacy of the Tommy Dorsey record, only because I've nevered own any of the guy's records in any format until today, but as far as I know, recent legit CD releases are on RCA and its vintage jazz imprint Bluebird (and thus currently under Sony Music ownership)... anyone knowledgeable want to clue me in? 

End note: Speaking of Frank's Reprise masters... his estate took the rights back from Warner Bros. (who manufactured and distributed Reprise for Frank, then bought the label off of him a few years later) last year, and all of his Reprise-era albums are being reissued soon on CD by Concord (they're already on iTunes and AmazonMP3.com!), the same folks who are the caretakers of the Fantasy,  Stax, and Prestige tape libraries (amongst others)... that includes quite a few titles that have either been available only as import CDs or not released on CD EVER. Excuse me while I check my download options...
