Unbelievable Test Match. Lunch and Australia need only 20 runs, but with 1 wicket left.

god forbid anyone will need to thoughtlessly go to the men's room! Everyone should piss their pants in protest. No cameras Keith, but try concentrating on your music with all that stench. 'will you all stop pissing your pants...it's a privilege to hear me...'

I prefer Al Martino, and Dick Cavett. Corky is the Lucille Ball of the harp. What's 'Corky' short for? Cornelia?

Amazing Test so far. It should play out to a predictable English win around Lunch tomorrow. But you never know with this game. Aussies more competitive than I thought they would be, but all the responsibility has been thrown back onto 'the kid' again. If couldn't possibly do it twice? Hoping now for a great battle over the next 4 games and then again over here in Summer. If it's not Test cricket......It's just not cricket To say that he exceeded expectations would be the understatement of the year ! This being an Ashes test, you expect neither team to give a quarter - so I don't know what the fuss is about. It was a pretty 'thickish' outside edge I think Broad was already walking until the split second he realised 'hang on a minute, this bloke thinks I missed it'.

The overcast conditions affected the first day. The BBC commentators were saying after lunch that an English total of 250-280 would be an acceptable first innings score. Broad has hurt his shoulder while batting and didn't bowl. Otherwise Australia may have been worse off. And now Watson is injured again to even things up. Whoever can grind out a decent partnership for Australia or England before the pitch crumbles into dust might just wrest the advantage. Day Two before tea could provide the best opportunity for this, but Australia could be all out well before lunch. Young Steve Smith really impressed me for Australia yesterday. But I think England will get enough runs in the second dig to let Swan do his thing. Could be all over Friday. Gee it's good to hear the TMS team. Another Australian abomination thrown in to this mix however, with the inclusion of the Bogan Glenn Mcgrath, who must only be rated as barely literate in this company. Last time it was the appalling Born Again Christian Matthew Hayden. Unfortunately only Kerry O'Keefe can compete with Blowers and Aggers etc al. in the way kinda way Boycott complements this lot. Kerry is closest to Boycott in the politically incorrect, gruff matter of fact stuff. But O'Keefe can be genuinely hilarious at times. During the last Aussie summer campaign, one of the Poms was in minor discomfort from a twinged knee. Kerry thought he was overplaying this a bit...and said...geez it's not that bad. The way he's carrying on you would think he was Douglas Bader It's best to make it clear from the outset that the game may be played for FIVE days. But that still doesn't guarantee there will be a result leg before wicket.....silly mid-off.....cover drive........ ...where to start... Hat trick, bowling a maiden over, wrong un, googly, square cut, third man, full toss, right arm over the wicket.

So let me get this straight. JOS doesn't want to co-operate with the White liner-notes writer. So he is basically profiled by the White liner-notes writer as an embittered Alcoholic with a Mental Health problem. And Gary Bartz is used by the writer to confirm this.

What the fucks a meshugganah? Is that anything like a Motherfucker?

First ball in under half an hour. England won toss and batting. Selection surprises all around. Test Match Special team on the Radio right now. Geez I love The Ashes. Dulcet tones of Elgar just trailing off into the distance.

I want to register a formal complaint about these bloody birthday threads

That's a funky little ensemble. They should be given honourable discharges immediately, and start posting here.

Indeed, I accept what you're saying. But is the Harmolodic aspect really more about the interaction and rhythmic displacement of the ensemble, rather than the triadic harmony basis of the individual lines or melody. The so called Harmolodic bands announced a difference from the previous Ornette bands. The whole approach and instrumentation is something else to the Science Fiction School Days era that proceeded it. And it's easier for 'straight heads' to approach that music accordingly (a pinnacle of creative music though it is). The thing that changed from the 'classic' quartet and the expanded horn ensembles was that with the introduction of the guitars and double drums and bass the collapsing cacophony effect became more pronounced. It's more than the effect of just being a bit noisy. It's an ensemble sound that alienates before it reconstructs in your head as disparate melody/cry of Jazz-Blues integrity. It's just as viable and confronting as Miles Agartha/Dark Magus period, although from another angle. The way this music cross-polinated with the No-Wave New-Wave Post-Punk scene (inauthentically actually), has done it a disservice historically I think.

It's certainly not George Costanza's.

Really? It's definitely rooted in The Blues and collective improvisation. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d0HB8ybKJzo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gsT5J6TJIkk

Nix calls the party a meeting of “Harmolodics Anonymous.” His joke is that once exposed and enlisted in Ornette’s point of view, musicians often find themselves commercial outcasts. It’s really that they’ve become so open to the basics of sound that they have little patience for conforming to state conventions. Harmolodics is a conflation of harmony, motion and melody into a mutually reinforcing system that justifies and resolves collective improvisation while upending traditional Western music precepts. Many well-educated musicians can’t get with harmolodics at all. Crouch was sitting on the couch

In my life........I love Coltrane more But I still haven't completed my first pressing UK vinyl Beatles collection yet

It could be Shorter's hands. Or the dreaded 'hand model'
