Sorry to read this. Also sorry to have to read it from The Mail Online which is a rag of a paper that usually peddles pretty salacious titillation - see their sidebar. There certainly seems a disconnect between them reporting potential sexual abuse and their editorial standards towards the portrayal of women. Not to deflect from the seriousness of the story one iota

I did wonder. Nice idea. I've recently had some bespoke shelves installed (not nearly as many) and have been thinking about genre dividers

Fantastic!

Alan Braufman - Valley Of Search [Valley Of Search] My reissue of the year, so far Archie Shepp - Three For A Quarter, One For A Dime [Impulse] John Tchicai, Archie Shepp - Rufus {Fontana, mono] United Front - Live In Berlin [FMP]

That's a very good album indeed. I was lucky enough to see the trio live about that time too

Ruweh, interesting label with some very good releases

It's coming home again! good performance by all accounts. Counter attack in the first half and defend for your lives in the second...

The Sea Ensemble - We Move Together [ESP]

Thanks. Book and deluxe DN will be tracked down

Definitely and also the stuff with Rudolph

Yeah, me too. Can't imagine it was official and I don't know the label, 'Seeds'. Just 300 made of it according to Discogs

Jeanne Lee - Conspiracy [Earthforms Records] desert island.

I keep meaning to read that book. How is it? I agree with you about those earlier albums and 'Daydream Nation' in particular, and I like 'Dirty' too. I bailed out at 'NYC Ghosts and Flowers' but habit had kept me on board since 'Washing Machine' really. I saw them play 'Daydream Nation' as a celebration of an anniversary so I'm now thinking that must have been the 20th - yikes! Thurston Moore's a London resident now but I've not seen him play since a very unimpressive display with some leading Improv musicians a few years ago. I should give him another chance, he's quite regularly at Cafe Oto

It's great. If you enjoyed the previous trio album on Intakt you'll do the same with this one always interested in a new Sommer recording. One day I'll see him live, I hope

Willem Breuker - Baal Brecht Breuker [Bhvaast] and yes, it does come in a hessian bag. Featuring the ever marvellous Han Bennink's credit for "tapedance" which I take to be a mistranslation rather than anything more exotic.

That's a shame. KonstruKt are a fine band live and on record, although many of the albums I have by them don't have him playing (maybe due to his illness). I do have the Holiday reissue of the trio LP so will spin that in his memory a little later
