That game was amazing. To have got that goal right at the very last minute was incredibly fortunate for the US. Great effort by the Canadian ladies !

I once saw Archie Shepp on an Open University programme (BSc Social Sciences?) on post-midnight BBC TV. Not playing - but commenting on Harlem culture.

Lou Donaldson 'The Natural Soul' (BN NY USA, mono)

Looking forward to it !

Fascinating homage to a road I use pretty well every day. Subject of a pretty good TV documentary too !

Late to the show but - Happy Birthday ! :party:

Greatest ever night of GB athletics ! Yeah, noticed that too. One of the pitfals of HD. The Tower?

Happy Birthday Shawn ! :party:

Giorgio Moroder Donna Summer Ann Summers

Picked up the Complete Monty Python Series 1-4 on DVD yesterday for £15. At the supermarket, no less. Now that, to me, is a bargain !

Art Pepper 'Live at the Village Vanguard' (King Japanese 3LP set)

Ah - Vinyl West in good old Stuttgart. Great shop !

Puff the Magic Dragon Christine Blower The Little Lame Balloonman Richard Branson Virginia Woolf General Wolfe

Gutsy and brilliant performance from Sir Chris Hoy in the Velodrome yesterday. The Chinese and GB disqualifications in the Women's Sprint were a bit of a farce..

Everyone will be growing them now !

My NY pressing of George Braith's 'Soul Stream' has Braith's signature on the back and the message 'For Foxy xx' on it, whoever 'Foxy' is.

Is it the members of the 'Jazz Collector' site bidding against each other?

Would very much prefer to forget that one - and Tet. There was footage of a viet-cong getting shot in the head that was broadcast repeatedly over here - and pre-watershed at that. They would never show that on TV these days.

Churchill's funeral barge on the Thames, with the cranes being dipped out of respect. That's the very first thing I ever remember seeing on TV (on a 10" or 12" B&W English Electric valve set I think). On a much lighter note, the baby elephant crapping and urinating live on air all over the studio floor on 'Blue Peter', with the keeper slipping on the sludge as he tried without success to haul the beast in, was pretty unforgettable. Children's TV at its best !

Early days. Overtaking the Aussies ie scheduled for around mid-week.

Good entrance by Her Maj..
