  1. Harisson-Sprott fight, a lot better than I expected.
  2. Received an email from Amazon France Threadgill won't ship before May the 5th
  3. Old Freddie Roach fights.
  4. Well the label Kind of Blue seems to brand their CDs like an hommage to ECM
  5. Quite interesting formation that I had the pleasure to see a few weeks ago.
  6. I ordered them all from Amazon France and they seem to have problems with the Threadgill set also, guess it was more popular than they expected.
  7. Big Stanko fan, quite thrilled to see him in Montreal. Only listened once to his latest release sounded good, those who enjoy him will be in familiar territory.

  9. It was more of a plooding match that usually plagues le Championnat nowadays. Although Barça and Bayern will be the favourites, do think they will face both live dogs.
  10. Better bring your earplugs... my ears are still bleeding from his gig about three years ago.
  11. http://www.onedaywithoutshoes.com/
  12. Gallant effort by Les Girondins but it was not enough, both teams made concerted efforts not to leave those defensive gaps that plagued them during the first leg. Meawhile quite an upset in the other game. No Premier League representative in the Semis.
  13. Messi had, dare I say, a Maradonesque performance. Do feel he's one World Cup success away to be mentionned in the same breath than him, the question is whether the Argentine team will play well enough during this edition to bring him to the big stage.
  14. Saw it a few years ago, some points are valid other not so much, one thing for sure the way the copyright works is no longer relevant nowadays
  15. So it means that Philadelphia's top dog is now Michael Vick
  16. Going out to see the Gebhard Ullmann Clarinet Trio
  17. David Haye versus John Ruiz, something rare an entertaining heavyweight fight, something even rarer a entertaining fight involving John Ruiz.
  18. Is Citrus mouthwash still on the market, can't find it at the drugstore anymore ?
  19. Finally listened to both sets, contrary to most of you who had heard their music so many times, I'm as virgin as you can be regarding their music as a music fan can be, Beatles were were not much part of my music world plus the original cds sounded so bad that I never bothered buying them and since my music buying days started with the birth of the cd..., Only songs I was really weary were maybe the ones that Paul seems to butcher during his gigs (à la Hey Jude). Prior to that, although I was familiar with the majority of the materiel, I've never heard it in the context of listening to their albums in a chronological fashion. So, here are a few of my thoughts after listening to all the racket Regarding the Mono vs Stereo debate, I will agree with the majority, Mono rules, to me the music sounds more organic than most of the stereo. As it was pointed out, there is nothing wrong with the stereo set except being the second best set. One of the pleasant suprises of was how much I enjoyed a lot more than I would expect their early material, yes the lyrics are sometimes naïve, but the songs sound fresh and energetic like I never suspected them to be. Have to plead guilty of suprising myself to dance alone when some of these pieces were played Not being familiar with the albums by themselves prior to this listening, I truly enjoyed the kaleidoscopic aspect of the albums from Help and those afterwards, only album that was a bit of a downer because of the lack of diversity is probably the last one (Let it be). Finally the three songs that for whatever reason stood out the most during this Beatles Marathon, not because they are the best but they are the ones that still remain inplanted in my brain. The first one is weirdly a cover Mr Moonlight, great harmonies on this one and a melodramatic interpretation , reading on the subject it apparently got panned but I did enjoy it probably because the song in its way stood out from the rest of the material of the album Second one is And your bird can sing great pace great melody once again great harmonies , loved the guitar work. Weirdly listening to the different version available on Youtube , none are as enjoyable of what came out of my stereo. And finally Tomorrow never knows that never sounded as well as it did on the Mono set, never really cared much prior to listening to this version, I finally got it , in three words, what a trip !!!
  20. Will have to mention Joanna Newsom, although she's far from typical rootsy
  21. Let me start by apologizing to anyone who went to see "Battlefield Earth." It wasn't as I intended -- promise. No one sets out to make a train wreck. Actually, comparing it to a train wreck isn't really fair to train wrecks, because people actually want to watch those. It started, as so many of my choices do, with my Willy Wonker. http://www.nypost.com/f/print/entertainment/movies/penned_the_suckiest_movie_ever_sorry_MdXedZpTMWJmfpw80Xc7aO
  22. Not exactly sure how Arsenal found a way to manage a tie Should make for entertaining viewing next week though.
  23. Ordered the Berry, Hampton, Quincy and the McCoy, guess you only have one life to live
