Van Basten II

Hey I actually won the week

I know what you mean, not exactly the same though as I don't perform and have no taste for it, but on some occasions I can turn into a clown and be quite gregarious. A few people who have witnessed me on my good moments, think I should be a stand-up. I've noticed it happens especially if I'm in a small group and I feel confortable among the people I'm surrounded with. But for whatever reason the switch can turn to off or on for a lot of reasons.

Defitinively an introvert, read about the subject in different links especially about the part where being around people drain my energy. There was a small test on Wikipedia and I scored 100 % as an introvert.

Was facing Pacquiao part of his punishment? Seriously, is it any wonder the great Mayweather is avoiding this guy? Don't think it was the original plan, however you have to wonder what his corner, the ref and the doctors were thinking when then let him go through 'til the end instead of stopping this butchery,. As far as Mayweather goes well, don't know if it's insecurity that makes him behave this way and spread rumours that led to make demands and eventually abort the fight. Still would pick Mayweather to win but needless to say I have enjoyed a lot more the career of PacMan than the safety first Mayweather.

Frank (The B-SIdes) Thanks already own the original album, will have to look for this version.

Watched the Milanese derby, cagey stuff much better was the MC Solaar playing at the same time.

Is it available on CD, great interpretation indeed ? To avoid any confusion, I mean this specific performance.

Problem was that the first half was so hapless that I stopped watching, apparently it was very good in the second part. Watched Barcelona-Villareal, tough game for Barça , Villereal gave them a lot of things to think about, the second Barcelona goal was you classical Messi goal with fast clever passing through the Penality area.Still the good guys won:rolleyes:

Ain't getting in that bed anytime soon. !

Ended my boxing day, watching Manny Pacquiao make a Pinata out of the face of Antonio "Hands of Plaster" Margacheato

Just watched the fight between David Haye and Audley Harrison , my next move will be to post in the what are you drinking right now thread. What a farce that fight was

Renaud Garcia-Fons in quartet to showcase La Linea del Sur, best gig I attended this fall:tup. Great melodies compositions and fantastic interpretation. Go see this guy when he plays near your area.

Thanks for the tip, in my confusion thought we were already thursday.

Rates look the same to me. Total for this set to Japan would be around $43.00. In a way, it proves my point, at least for Canucks don't think it should cheaper to send to Japan than to Canada

Thanks for the tip Sandman, it sucks that Amazon.com has raised shipping fees for non US customers. Still is a good bargain at 50 $ .

Not jazz but Felt Mountain by Goldfrapp was among the few CDs I brought when I shopped for my sound syste. Bsides that ECM records seems natural to test them.

Considering I made my picks at the last minute without any thoughts into it, I'm having a heck of a week If the score remains the same , will actually clinch the top spot for the week.

Just bought his previous one Secret, Profane and Sugarcane , did enjoy it, is it in the same vein ?

Had the chance to see it on the big screen with a live Orchestra playing a new score, quite an experience. It's one of those rare movies that you tend to forget it's been done 80 years ago.

Saw it on a local store, a bit pricy selling the sets at around 95 $, more annoying no track list, the box does not tell much either.

I wrote the following response to this presentation after getting home last night and posted it on Facebook. If anything I understated the impact Coin Coin had on me. California board members: don't miss her while she's in your area (Berkeley today.) This presentation at The Chapel Performance Space was unlike anything I've ever experienced before. Yes, it was music, but it was more than that, much more. In some ways it was performance art, utilizing spoken word, primal screams and graphics along with music. In another even more primal and emotionally compelling way it seemed to take the powerful imagery and heart-wrenching emotion of "Strange Fruit" and the most gut-walloping aspects of Delta blues and African-American Gospel music and recast it in a long-form artistic framework more akin to a symphony or an opera. It was beautiful and terrifying. Intense was the word that immediately came to mind. Very intense. Too intense for a few in the audience who walked out part way through. Those of us who stayed were perhaps transformed and definitely affected. Affected very deeply and profoundly. In fact, I'm still reeling from this experience. I walked out of the building in something of a daze and leaned against the car, smoking a cigarette, staring up at the sky, needing to process all of this a bit before attempting such a mundane activity as driving home. This is what great art should do, and the occasions when art really does reach this level are all too rare. I mentioned to a couple of people after the concert - well, concert is a wholly inadequate term - that this was only the second time in over 35 years of attending musical and other arts events that I was literally brought to tears, several times. And throughout I was totally transfixed. If you have the chance to experience Coin Coin, go! But be prepared. No shucking and jiving here. No masks. No pretense. If the truth makes you squirm, in all likelihood you'll fall out of your seat and be thrashing around on the floor, or run for the exit. Thank you to everyone who made this possible. Thank you to Matana Roberts, all of the musicians involved, Earshot Jazz and Steve Peters at the Chapel. Bill which part of the project, she made, because they are many editions ? the one that will stay with me for the rest of my life is the one with the opera singer Jeremiah in a quintet which would be the chapter 2.

Afro-Cubism, fine show starring some of the finest African musicians and Cuba les by Eliades Ochoa. Among them Bassekou Kouyate Djelimady Tounkara Grupo Patria Toumani Diabaté Kasse Mady Diabaté Lassana Diabaté Baba Sissoko http://www.myspace.com/afrocubism Small comment, is it me or people behave in a rather embarassing way during these gigs, always nonplussed to see 50 and 60 year old suddenly behaving like a bunch of excited teenagers dancing lascivously to the music .

Most of us remember him as the Reds Manager, but I enjoyed his run with the Tigers especially with the great team of 1984, RIP Mr Anderson.

Bad photoshopping before Photoshop !

Guess Wal Mart won't put in on display
