Jazz of any stripe, but particularly free or avant-garde; I can sometimes take fusion but damn do I hate those screaming horns!

Hopefully I'll be able to do better justice to your next album. I'm sure I'll be in the minority here anyway.

Yeah, if I had looked but I didn't really.

I'm sure you'll enjoy it.

On a somewhat related note, does anyone know if it's possible to stop ****ing YouTube minimising and colonising the right-hand bottom corner of my screen when I go off the page? It's very annoying to have it sitting there, blocking whatever I want to read or write, and closing it just stops the entire playback. Any setting where I can tell it not to minimise? Seems only to have been happening in the last few days for me, which is odd. Maybe I just always stayed on the page before. Anyway, if anyone knows how to kill this it would be great.

Even basic stuff like Kind of Blue or Time Out doesn't do anything for ya?

I do love Kind of Blue. Time Out I don't know. There's a band called The Comet is Coming who are really great, but other than that, jazz and I have a mutual understanding: it doesn't bother me and I don't bother it. We might meet at funerals and weddings, possibly send Christmas cards to each other when or if we remember, but other than that, we don't see each other. And it's better that way.
