one of the 'bootlegs' has appeared on ebay http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...=ADME:B:SS:UK:1

This is my favourite release of the year (I am biased towards everything Trane though) , music doesn't get much better than this for me.

1968. Im confident that England can finish in the top 2 .

The Downtown Music Gallery weekly email had this on it yesterday-

Sven must rate the Dutch, US & Aussie teams http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/tm_...-name_page.html

This could be an exciting new release thats been mention on the Braxton Yahoo group & Rastascan site http://www.rastascan.com/

Considering the strong line up I'm surprised Sonny's Crib hasnt been RVGd

Hey I'm not that bad am I? I admit to having a recent Brotzmann binge though . I haven't seen that one I normally wait for you guys to start talking about his releases, a copy is on its way now though from the jazz-network (I've not bought anything from them before ). I had some friendly emails with Kilogram records & hopefully the North Quartet - Malamute CD should arrive in the next couple of days.

And this ones not too bad either Backstabber's Ball Neal Caine (smalls)

This turned up on Emusic today & can be thoroughly recommended - Anthony Braxton / Matt Bauder 2 + 2 Compositions one of my favourite Cds of the year.

Where did you mange to get this disc I'm having trouble understanding the site with the link did you get it elsewhere? Gary, I got my copy at the concert - but you should be able to get it from Kilogram records - send them an e-mail to the address posted here. Thanks - Ive sent them an Email. I was lucky enough to buy a copy of Evan Parkers 'Monoceros' from Hans recently & thought it was excellent, I'll be interested to hear if you guys have any luck getting the other title from Crazy Jazz.

A Cork Radio Station (in Ireland), 96 FM, was running a competition to find contestants who could come up with words that were not found in any English Dictionary yet could still use these words in a sentence that would make logical sense. The prize was a trip to Bali for a week. The DJ, Neil, had many callers; the following two standing out: DJ: 96FM, what's your name? Caller: Hi, me name's Dave. DJ: Dave, what is your word? Caller: Goan spelt G O A N, pronounced "go-an" DJ: We are just checking that (pause) and you are correct, Dave, Goan is certainly a word not found in the English Dictionary. Now the next question, for a trip for two to Bali, is, what sentence can you use that in that would make logical sense? Caller: Goan fuck yourself! At this point the DJ cuts the caller short and announces that there is no place for that sort of language on a family show. After many more unsuccessful calls the DJ takes the following caller: DJ: 96FM, what's your name? Caller: Hi, me name's Jeff. DJ: Jeff, what is your word? Caller: Smee spelt S M E E, pronounced "smee". DJ: We are checking that (pause) and you are correct, Jeff, Smee is certainly a word not found in the English Dictionary. Now the next question, for a trip for two to Bali, is, what sentence can you use that in that would make logical sense? Caller: Smee again! Goan fuck yourself

Take That!

I'll get my coat then

Unfortunately, not having really become aware of the international game until the early 1970's, I never got to see him play when in his prime. But I still got to see him play! I've forgotten how old he was when he joined the NASL, but he still had a few tricks left. ← Did you see the movie about Georgie? Not bad at all. http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0181311/?fr=c2l...;fc=1;ft=1;fm=1 ← Things are not looking too good for George Best at the moment http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/4452002.stm

I think(I may be wrong) in the last world cup rankings took previous performances in World cup finals into account.

Good to see a critical note about Brötzmann. I've been hearing "mindless clichés" in his playing for some time now (even in quite a few of his older efforts), and I thought it was me... ← Hans, my opinion of Brötzmann's music became much critical after I heard his discs which were simply on the different level compared to everythng I had heard from him before 14 love poems and Live in Berlin - '71. Both of these are among my favorite CDs right now, and here you can hear Brötzmann at his very best - diverse, creative, thoughtful and challenging himslef. Many of the other Brötzmann's discs sound like little bits were sampled out of either of the twoe records and looped for 45 minutes... Thinking of it, I thought No one ever works alone by Sonore (Okka) from last year was really good. ← where does 'live at the 'bottle' fest 2005' fall for you? Its one of the year's better releases to my ears.

Yes its highly unlikely that we will win but I will be hoping we can do it & celebrating if we do. Heres some odds for the tournament - http://www.ladbrokes.com/lbr_portal?action...&LAYOUT=default 2006 World Cup Brazil 3/1 Argentina 6/1 England 7/1 Germany 7/1 Italy 7/1 Holland 9/1 France 11/1 Spain 12/1 Portugal 20/1 Sweden 25/1 Czech Republic 28/1 Croatia 50/1 Ivory Coast 50/1 Serbia and Montenegro 50/1 Ukraine 50/1 Mexico 66/1 Paraguay 66/1 Poland 80/1 USA 80/1 Australia 100/1 Switzerland 100/1 Ecuador 125/1 Japan 125/1 Korea Republic 150/1 Ghana 200/1 Tunisia 200/1 Iran 250/1 Costa Rica 350/1 Togo 350/1 Angola 500/1 Saudi Arabia 500/1 Trinidad and Tobago 750/1

Dont worry Red if the unlikely does happen & we do win it I'll be here to make it INTOLERABLE for you even on here .
