I have finally made a decision. The best group ever. I took into consideration records sold, awards won, achievement, and the group members, and I picked one sextet. The Miles Davis Sextet, specifically the sextet with the group members whom played Newport in 1958, is the best group in Music History. The group, which included Bill Evans on Piano, John Coltrane and Cannonball Adderly on Saxophones, Jimmy Cobb at drums and Paul Chambers on Bass. The addition to the group of Bill Evans was the best decision Miles could have ever made, even though it only lasted about six months. This group was absolutely astonishing, and would often leave audiences in awe. If you have not heard any recordings of this group, you are truly missing out, but I especially suggest Someday My Prince Will Come.

TUTU
So get this,
I'm sitting in my dorm room, it's study hall, and I haven't any homework. I go into my itunes and go to the store. I search Miles Davis. I find this album, and learn that the main player in this album (besides Miles) is my main slap bassist Marcus Miller. I've been listening to this album for about an hour now, and it's really chill. I think this is the emergence for me something great. Miles did such a great job with this album, and by recruiting Marcus Miller for the job, he only made it that much better. The actual song "Tutu" is absolutely amazing, and if you don't already own this album, I suggest you check it out.

Dali Reborn
Alas, I have decided to add another new member to the staff here at RTIT. His name is Dali Reborn. Having been born in the mid 70s, Dali Reborn has been described by many as "A man of his people," his "people" solely being those born in Keflavik, Iceland. His name reflects his love for the work of the late artist, Salvador Dali, and he considers himself an aficionado on the subject. Dali Reborn spends his time listening to his large collection of 70s rock bands vinyl records and making outrageous claims like he invented the "question mark" and "love seat." He works in a small Jazz cafe outside Canaan, CT, and is involved in many public activities, especially those pertaining to his love of art. In addition to the aforementioned, Dali Reborn desires to become a member of the "Steely Fan Band" and hopes to one day be known as influential art critic of the millennia. He will be joining the squad in the next few weeks to a month, and will be well received by all of us here at RTIT.
HelpMyPatients.com
Well, I recently looked into Reelblogs and was particularily intrigued by Helpmypatients.com. I was so intrigued that I posted a treatment suggestion for Dr. Fletcher's Wednesday patiend "Howie." Howie is "a Republican political strategist, who has Multiple Personality Disorder and is undermined by his alter-ego, a diehard Democrat."(Paraphrase from HMP) I wrote a 4 sentence idea for Dr. Fletcher which can be summarized as "Try to get Howie to confront his alter-ego." Unbenounced to my, Dr. Fletcher seemed to think highly of this simple suggestion, and, during one of his sessions, presented my suggestion to Howie.

New Addition
Low and behold I have sent an invitation to one of my friends to join my blogging squad. He has already accepted this invitation but informed me that he will not be ablt to blog very much. This is an attempt (perhaps feeble) to attract new readers. I hope this does well. Currently I am unsure of this new bloggers user name but I will tell you that he is going to be posting about music.

Thoughts
As I have been surfing through blogs linked to Nostradamus (nosferatu), I see that I trully have a lot to learn. Many of the subjects under dispute in these blogs seem confusing to someone of my pure "youth." However, I must say that I really enjoyed Finnegan's Wake and the blog of Mulato Jesus.
Poll
I would like to conduct a poll amongst my readers. The subject came from an argument I had with my older brother (not Nostradamus)
