For decades jazz cognoscenti have talked reverently of the Savory
Collection. Recorded from radio broadcasts in the late 1930s by an
audio engineer named William Savory, it was known to include extended
live performances by some of the most honored names in jazz but only
a handful of people had ever heard even the smallest fraction of that
music, adding to its mystique.

Belle and Sebastian Write About Love

Belle and Sebastian Write About Love

Just like me, Belle and Sebastian write about love. The band’s new album is due out here in the States on October 12. It will be mine. You can listen to a clip on <a href="http://www.matadorrecords.com/matablog/2010/08/16/belle-sebastian-write… Matablog</a>. The song, “I Want the World to Stop,” sounds just as dark and groovy and infectious as you might imagine. I’ve listened to it about 69 times already.

The October issue of <i>Stereophile</i> shipped to press yesterday afternoon. (Hallelujah.) We are already deep into the November issue, while our new editorial assistant, <a href="http://blog.stereophile.com/stephenmejias/the_young_guy/">Ariel Bitran</a>, is tackling the <i>2011 Buyer’s Guide</i>. In addition to all of that, and on top of the regular stuff, the entire office is in <a href="http://blog.stereophile.com/stephenmejias/boltz_cd_rack/">the process of moving</a> onto the 6th floor of our 261 Madison Avenue location. Construction crews are tearing down walls and building new cubicles, painters are turning white and gray into blue and cream, movers are carrying tables and desks up flights of stairs. My office is cramped with <a href="http://blog.stereophile.com/stephenmejias/buried/">boxes</a&gt;, but this time they’re moving boxes.

Is there a problem with the forum?

A few times over the past couple of days, when attempting to view the forum, I get a whole page of stuff like this:

"Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Unknown MySQL Server Host 'simcmmgdb2' (2) in /usr/local/webroot/stereophile/forum/mysql.inc.php on line 36"

It happens with IE or Firefox, and soon it's back to normal. Has anyone else seen this behavior? I thought Stephen and John might like to know about it, so I'm posting.
