Angel Bat Dawid - the Oracle (International Anthem) Damon Locks Black Monument Ensemble - Where Future Unfolds (International Anthem) Jaimie Branch - Fly Or Die II (International Anthem) Olie Brice Somersaults Trio - Numerology of Birdsong (Westhill Records) Nerija - Blume (Domino) And I fully expect to add Matana Roberts' Coin Coin 4 when it arrives next week

I listened to it again this week. It's a very strong release. Sorry to have missed the Oto gig.

Maybe so but one man's crutch is another man's aid.

I'm less dismissive of the book idea than some of you. 18 months ago I found myself jobsearching for the first time in 30 years and it soon became very apparent I needed to master Twitter quickly. I went to my local library (we still have a few that haven't been closed) and browsed the computer, jobsearch and business shelves. Found three books that looked at Twitter from different perspectives. All helpful. Yes, it's designed to be easily accessible but some of us like to learn in a reflective rather than active, trial and error, style. So, my advice for what it's worth is your local library if accessible. Otherwise the local adult ed classes as already suggested. Look for the half day, taster style classes. I work for a charity for older people and we run such tasters so depending on your age this too is an option. Good luck. I will say I find Twitter increasingly addictive, so beware too!

Matana Roberts - Coin Coin Chapter 4. I've found the previous three chapters fascinating in their distinct ways so looking forward to this Giusseppi Logan Quartet - s\t. First stereo pressing. As much for Milford Graves as for the leader

Yes, I like that one a lot

Baikida Carroll - The Spoken Word [Hat Hut]

I'd hope for a preview at the very least

Nice cover. Interesting list of 'related titles', I know Ornette's influence ranges far and wide but...'The Shape Of Muswell Hill To Come' perhaps The Kinks Dmitry Shostakovich Live Wires - history of electronic music Five Years Ahead of My Time - Garage Rock from the 50s onwards Arnold Schoenberg

Definitely buying this.

A good watch it was too. Certainly gave respect to the subject. Left me wondering how her health is these days. The modest circumstances mentioned upthread seemed evident.

I've seen him with Tim Berne and been impressed. There's a duet album with TB that I keep meaning to sample. The run of albums on Pi are worth your attention. I often find them a challenging listen but in a good way, knotty compositions always well played by well chosen musicians. I find it quite cerebral music but that's just me. Notvmusic to whistle along too perhaps but none the worse for that.

Me too! Here's hoping it makes it an early Xmas present

Good win for England, as expected. Very good win by Ireland. A good weekend for me

I enjoyed the Springbok v All Black match. Cheslin Kolbe could be the star of the tournament if SA go deep. All Blacks were the All Blacks and will yet again be the team to beat. I don't like Jones's England very much but will be cheering them on nonetheless. My remote Irish heritage means I will be wearing green on occasion too. I hope we get some surprises along the way. The Pumas nearly did so today. France are always so unpredictable. The early morning timings in the UK aren't great.

Thanks for posting. No matter how many interviews I read they always bring a smile to my face.

Today's been a good vinyl day Rank & File reissue

Similarly, Anthony Braxton and Larry Ochs (Fictive Five) have dedicated tunes to other artists. Are they to be branded with partial charlatanism for doing so? Maybe this is only a "crime" if you're playing not up to snuff at the same time.

Thanks for making this point so well. It needed to be said. To bring the conversation back to Rempis, I've generally preferred KV when they play together. Happy to be in a minority on that.

Just two weeks...I'm hoping they use Royal Mail rather than another courier with no pick-up option as it's bound to arrive on a day I'm in the office rather than working at home

Lucky you! I saw her last summer, fantastic. Mind you, she always seems on top of her game when I see her

It's a shame they don't seem to get European distribution. I've enjoyed the couple I've picked up.

What do I need to know about the Olduvai? Actually just found I can listen to it online. Absolutely. Why enjoy the last days of summer outside...TMS on the earbuds, racks dutifully perused in three shops (two first visits) within half an hour of home. Taken by the number of original Tubby Fontanas I could have bought, five at least. People off-loading before the boxset

George Russell Septet - The Stratus Seekers [Riverside/Fontana, mono] Another of today's purchases
