Mingus's best record is The Black Saint and the Sinner Lady

I used to think "Ah Um" was the best, but soon realized "The Black Saint and the Sinner Lady" was the superior album.

While I dasn't disagree, don't sleep on the Changes One & Two, a smoking pair of late records. "Orange Was the Color of Her Dress, Then Silk Blue,"Devil Blues," "Duke Ellington's Sound of Love." Shit is tight, and the band rolls deep: Jack Walrath, George Adams, Don Pullen, Dannie Richmond.

"black saint and the sinner lady" is perhaps the only album in the history of jazz to have liner notes written by the artist's psychiatrist.

Dude: it's true. Mingus had a cat named Nightlife, and he taught that cat how to use the toilet. This is a real thing.

The best part is that Charles Mingus died 30 years ago, which makes Nightlife at least 140 in cat years .

Mingus' autobiography, "Beneath the Underdog" is amazing. Anyone who gives two shits about Charles Mingus, real jazz music or just enjoys a good story should look into it. He had this crazy libido and claims to have had sex with dozens of prostitutes in one night, down in Tijuana, lit up on grass and tequila.

It's odd; this is probably the Achewood phrase I use the most in general conversation, which is kind of disappointing, considering it's really none-too-special in the veritable encyclopedia of golden Achewood quotables.

I now often use the phrase "enough _____ to wipe God's ass and the Devil too".
You know this only works with paper, right?
AND pinecones. Unfortunately, no one ever has enough pinecones to satisfy the requirements needed to use this phrase about them.
No, wait. That isn't unfortunate at all.
I've got some paperwork for you to fill out and get back to me...
There's a bar on the Juarez tourist strip called The Cavern (to be distinguished from the strip club called The Cave). It is decorated with plaster-constructed stalagmites and stalactites, and is indeed one story underground. I have been to a poetry read there. I very nearly score 100%, but alas, I am nowhere near as cool as a cool Jackson.
You just need to keep using it, daddy-o, 'till them squares start knowing shit from Shinola, dig?
