Say it ain't so Floyd

Did a little bird tell you? So far I can't find anyone saying that... YIKES! Spanish radio station and online newspaper say that. Read this L'Equipe article: http://www.lequipe.fr/Cyclisme/20060727_110810Dev.html French media indeed hinting at Landis by now! He pulled out of a Dutch race yesterday and will be out of the Jyske Bank Grand Prix race in Denmark today! Would be more bad cycling news if he is out of those races because of the doping story

'Stylings of Silver' is not really rare, even if you might have trouble finding a good quality original at a reasonable prize. Horace Silver was one of the BN musicians whose albums sold constantly well back in vinyl days and 'Stylings' was among the most visible Silvers when it came out!

Wanna Monk's 'Straight No Chaser' for your mobile phone ring tone? From AP:

Doubt this. The CD runs for 64m15s! FreshSound does miracles but there is a limit to miracles

I'm reasonably clean but I would look even more crazed after playing for more than two hours in scorching heat

'I Remember Thelonious' came out on the JazzAround label. It also was released under the same title - with a different cover and liner notes - on Nel Jazz, another Italian label! One of the best Lacy/Waldron get-together!

Fresh Sound recently reissued the two rare albums Walt Dickerson recorded for the Audio Fidelity records: 'Lawrence of Arabia' and 'Unity' in a single digipack: A superb release in excellent sound and packaging!

Soccer players are also reportedly being involved in the blood tapping situation. Zinedine Zidane's name has been mentioned. But the soccer governing bodies keep away from investigating this.

There is a secondhand copy available in one of the stores here. It's a French edition (exactly the same as the US one). Let me know if you want me to get it. I'll mail it to you if interested!

Joyeux anniversaire, Marcel Bichos! Keep the Bird spirit high!

Lars Gullin 'The Great Lars Gullin, vol.2 1953' (Dragon)

Hoping you're having a great Birthday

And me who thought that it was my computer playing tricks once more... Yes, have problems with my mailbox (via yahoo.fr or yahoo.com) too

Floyd Landis did win the 2006 Tour de France. A superb winner! Champagne was appropriate for the final stage today!

Tonym, Landis does not have the yellow jersey yet, he is third in overall standings. The time trial participants run in the reverse order of the overall standings so it will be Landis, then Sastre, and then Pereiro. It should be a great race! A very exciting finish to this year's Tour. And let's not forget the final stage tomorrow... Yes, may the best man win!

I've been drinking water only, I swear! Weather's too hot now for brandy

Anybody watched yesterday's stage of the Tour de France? The 17th stage was held between St.Jean de Maurienne and Morzine in the Alps, a 124-mile ride. American rider Floyd Landis who had lost the yellow jersey of leader in the 16th stage when he suffered and could not cycle properly during the rides up the difficult Alpine passes was back in shape yesterday. He pedalled away from the other Tour leaders and made his way to an extraordinary solo ride that is already considered a Tour history classic. Landis jumped from 11th third place in the overall standings, 30 seconds away from leader Oscar Pereiro and 8 second behind second-placed Carlos Sastre, both of Spain. With three more stages to go, this Tour de France proved one of the most exciting race ever! Landis had been criticised earlier for failing to take risks is now the darling of the Tour crowd. Tomorrow's timelap will prove to be decisive. Landis will be hard to beat if he rides like he did yesterday! Edited to correct Landis' name!

Fair enough! However the disciplinary commission did not take away Zidane's title of best player in the World Cup.
