Too young an age to go... and it seems his playing on thelate 2005 Soft Machine tour was terrific!

Norm Coleman is a Republican. I suspect most of the staffers on both sides of the aisle know about Wikipedia. While on the one hand, it is hard to imagine senior members of Congress knowing about blogs or Wikipedia, the one thing these guys care about is their public image. Many of them hire staff to track how they are represented in the media, and I imagine that has been extended to the Web. And funny enough the recent article I read (in the "Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung") had plenty of examples of Republicans manipulating Democrats' entries, too... I guess USA Today just sees what's convenient with its own position?

I own this one:

Is this new news in the US? Was in the newspapers last week, or even the week before, over here. Now let's start working on Allen's biography, everybody!

Sad news! I'll play the Pacific and Atlantic albums, too. Very nice music! (on a side-note: Hi Garth! Nice to see you again here, but don't just show up with sad news, willya!)

Tapas are fast food, too, don't forget that! I have eaten maybe 10 times at a Mc in my life so far and don't intend to go there more often than that in years to come...

Yes, and you still miss the lenghty obit worth reading (by David Toop, if memory serves me right)

Happy birthday!

nepotism? It's been 6 hours and no reply. I guess I'll write an email to ask, then! And maybe I add that disc with Dyani to my order...

I didn't hear back yet - how long did it take them to write you?

Well, you lucky old man *have* Santana in the first place...I just got one cut on a sampler

No, but the Wallin looks good to me, and I wanted the Feza and Brötz anyway... won't order more for now, I'm afraid!

Just ordered three items: - Brötz Nefertiti - Wallin - Mongezi Feza but I didn't see anything about the sale while ordering... I just had to put in the amount of money (54€) myself... I wonder... will they send me a PayPal invitation to pay this minus 25% now? How does that work? I don't like sales where things are not put any clearer. As for the OOP stuff: anyone wants to pass on his copy of the Noah Howard? I would have liked to hear that one! Oh, and THANKS, brownie! I would indeed have missed this sale!

I got to play it again, myself... here are the photos that disappeared above: http://www.nga.ch/sits/Willisau%20JF/Willi...0wjf%202004.htm

Not sure if the news has arrived in the english-speaking part of cyber world yet: This is the Willisau recording of the Schweizer-Anderson-Drake trio from August 2004. 45 minutes of it were on Swiss Radio (and I shared those some time ago on dime - take that off of your trade-lists now, willya!). Quite a good set, in my opinion! The CD is called "Willisau & Taktlos" - I am not sure if the trio appeared at Taktlos, but I think not, since the Willisau concert was the first meeting of Schweizer and Anderson, as far as I know. Thus the Taktlos part may be from the Schweizer-Drake duo set a few years back (also on the radio, and pretty great!). It will be out somewhen in 2006, but I don't know yet, when exactly. Intakt has usually got 6 releases per year, and three others (George Lewis - mentioned elsewhere on Big-O -, Trio 3, and Saadet Türköz) are up on their site as upcoming, too, so it could take a while till this will be out. Those photos EKE posted above (they have vanished now, it seems) were shot at this very concert, btw.

Playing disc 1 now! Finally got it! All ten fingers typing, none hiding in tedious or other places...

Well, I really don't know much about cars, but this one looks like what I remember we had, 25-20 years ago or so. It had an open roof (not cabriolet, just the whole roof could be rolled back) - maybe that helps to find out? I cannot get hold of the nickname that car had (something like jumbolino, but not exactly that... it was italian, for sure).

Just making a bit of fun - didn't know you knew Scott, though!

Variety obviously has no idea who exactly Duke Ellington was Will they shoot this in Iraq? It will be a blatant celebration of all the good things Saddam did as US proconsul on Iraqian soil! Can't wait to see it! Seems the fellas don't even know themselves "when and if" Ellington knew about them spies! Great, should be a terrific film! And who got shot in Iraq? Rumsfeld wasn't there so, obviously not him...

What's that, your good friend Tony Scott, or Benito's ahem... or wait, you mean your good friend Benito?

I see this area is restricted... I am not exactly a car, but my conception dates back to 1978, so maybe I am allowed to be here? This was our first family car: You can create one for yourself here: This here was our not so good for family purposes car: Much more fun than those huge oil-addicted US ships, no?

Ayler is so old-fashioned and mainstream... only the public never caught up with that. And I think he was Norah's uncle, no?

But then why are there still LPRs (or at least the batch including this disc was still an LPR) in the US? Sucks! First EMI/Blue Note goes the copycrap route (my first wish for new Conns or RVGs would be regular Compact Discs, no matter what's on them...), then Universal goes shit (cover print quality/pixels is not first rate on these, either, to put it mildly), and then what? Maybe we'd be better off (at least in respect of getting nice jazz reissues) if the US annected Europe in one go, maybe after they'll be done with Iran, North Corea and Cuba.

*finally* got a shipping confirmation from French Amazon two or three days ago. I hope to get it before the weekend! I'm sure it sucks. So Miles went to Pangaea and stayed there? Quite a trip, I must say!
