Hey remember when you could search the comic archive by date with a handy drop down menu?

http://www.penny-arcade.com/archive/

This is unacceptable.

    What you said is contrary to what I had said earlier. It's like I'm being trolled in realtime.

    this thread also reminds me of jack johnson

    you know, whatever anyone says i think jack johnson is a wonderful musician. the album before this new one is my favourite. saturday morning with jack and a coffee and some frying breakfast is one of my favourite things in life, and if that makes me a bad person then fiddlesticks

    I heard Jack Johnson on the radio. It's the kind of music that I don't mind hearing in the background while I'm being lifted from one floor to another.

    Or while in a Supermarket.

    I think I came to the chat forum to complain about something technical about the Penny Arcade website and then chat a bit. You see I can have my cake and eat it too.

    You're wonderful, pipe

    Also I'm talking about blues and jazz because jezz mentioned blues in passing which makes it topical

    all I am listening to these days is Nina Simone and Miles Davis

    I have forgone all other music in favor of this and I find it to be a good decision

    you know, i would listen to all these cool jazz artists like miles davis and coltrane, but i like to listen to jazz on vinyl and those guys are soooo hard to find

    so instead i end up listening to this really quite geeky jazz like herbie mann that i found for a few bucks at the op-shop

    but i tell you what? i regret nothing

    Those are some good choices.

    Might I suggest some Thelonius Monk?

    Also if you're willing to try some more recent stuff, I've been listening to a pretty amazing record by Pat Methany and Brad Mehldau

    i've also discovered abc jazz

    any time i realize the tv is on background mode and playing crap, i'll switch it over to the jazz channel and feel relaxed and happy

    the bummer is they don't announce the performers a lot of the time so my jazz knowledge is still pretty cruddy. or maybe they do announce them, but because the tracks tend to go for thirty-seven minutes you never end up hearing them called

    Jazz on vinyl is indeed the best

    I am spoiled in that I inherited my grandparents' Nina Simone and Miles Davis vinyl colletions

    So I can listen to them while I'm walking and then I can switch to the album when I am back home

    all Simone and Davis all the time

    this is what I've become


    ...although hey I am enjoying this music you posted, pipe

    Also modern, and moving away from the style
    but Medeski, Martin and Wood are about as fun and downright funky and modern instrumental jazz gets
