Right click the download button Select "Save Link As..." Call it what you want to, but make it a .mp3 file. That'll do it right there. Great interview, btw. I love hearing musicians talking about stuff besides music, and it sounds like Lou really knows his sports. And Tony Paige don't seem to be no dummy either. Great interview! also caddied for ben hogan.

ALL NIGHT LONG The Music of Mike Osborne Revisited I first heard Mike Osborne in 1975 at Southport Arts Centre as part of SOS, the trio he shared with Alan Skidmore and John Surman. I’d gone having heard relatively little of him but it sounded like an interesting gig. And it was interesting hearing a saxophone trio that made use of synthesisers alongside the various saxes and bass clarinet. My memories are vague but I remember him as a ramshackle man in t-shirt and baggy cardigan, just like on his album covers. Either Surman or Skidmore told me where I could find the album. Osborne didn’t speak. That gig piqued my interest in him and other Ogun artists and a few weeks after the gig I picked up the eponymous SOS recording. Surman’s use of electronics was intriguing but it was Osborne’s playing on ‘Wherever I Am’ that grabbed my attention. Cascading lines streamed from the alto jostling with Surman’s synthesisers to create a dense collision of sounds. It’s an uneven album but Osborne’s playing on that piece alone is worth catching. It is a unique and distinctive sound. It was a while before I saw him again but in the meantime Ogun released the monumental All Night Long, recorded the same year as the SOS album but altogether a different type of trio. Here Osborne teams up with bassist Harry Miller and powerhouse drummer Louis Moholo, his regular trio. The results feature some of the most integrated and inspired small group interactions I’ve ever heard and at the time I was also listening to Ornette’s trio with Izenson and Moffett. Osborne immediately asserts himself with the blistering riff from the title track, Miller answers with attacking bass and soon there is a three way juggernaut of fiery improvisation. You can feel the fire and collective spirit generated by these players who know each other and can respond in a split second to any change in direction. The two sides add up to about 40 minutes and are only part of one set they played. According to Keith Beal’s sleeve notes ‘The trio played three sets equally exciting that night’. Each time I listen to it I am in awe at the intensity of their playing. The levels of energy are astounding as they power forward seamlessly taking in Monk’s ‘Round Midnight’, Osborne’s tunes, like ‘Scotch Pearl’ and ‘Country Bounce’ and collective pieces. Even in more ruminative moments there is a sizzling tension created by Moholo behind Osborne’s compact lyricism. Recorded at Willisau, like the first Brotherhood Of Breath release for Ogun, it is a gig I would have donated vital organs to witness. Another gig I’m still kicking myself for missing is the appearance at the 1976 Bracknell Festival of the Mike Osborne/Stan Tracey duo. Thankfully the album Tandem captures their set plus a later visit in November of that year. If Osborne in a trio setting could transmute base metals in the cauldron of his invention then his matching with Tracey was equally an act of pure magic. The opening of the set, ‘Ballad Forms’, conveys a note of urgency: listen to this! And you cannot do otherwise, from Tracey’s introductory notes to the final elegiac nod towards Lester Young via Mingus you are assailed by a constant flood of melodic and rhythmic explorations. Tracey’s angular, percussive piano seems to drive Osborne to further heights. Sometimes Osborne will play a bluesy line and Tracey will be pounding behind then out of it will come an uplifting line of wistful melody. At times Osborne sounds like several saxes as Tracey batters and sustains a barrage of chords alongside him. The range of dynamics is immense here, moving from acerbic vigour to reflection, from harsh dissonance to melancholy. It is one of the most completely satisfying performances from a duo I can remember. As if that weren’t enough there are two more equally exciting pieces on the album. I saw Osborne again in 1977 at Eric’s in Liverpool. This time he was with Isipingo, the sextet led by Harry Miller. They played a tight set made up mostly of Miller’s compositions from the album Family Affair and it was good to see/hear Louis Moholo and Mark Charig alongside Ossie. Frank Roberts was in the piano seat that night instead of the advertised Keith Tippett and to my ears something was missing. For proof of this listen to ‘Jumping’ from the Isipingo album. Here Osborne is in full flight as soon as the opening theme is stated and Tippett is with him accenting and dancing around his every move. Their rapport is tangible. There are elements of both the Osborne/Tracey duo and his coruscating trio on this recording but one of the finest moments is when he and Tippett join forces again. He hits and sustains a high note, a clarion call, and Tippett responds with a groundswell of chords that push Osborne to make phenomenal, emotive statements. The music rises and falls as Moholo joins them. It is very reminiscent of sections from the Bracknell concert. All musicians play exceptionally well but Osborne was clearly having an inspired night. Mike Osborne’s final recording for Ogun was 1977’s Marcel’s Muse, a studio affair with stalwarts Miller and Charig joined by guitarist Jeff Green and drummer Peter Nykyruj. I thought it might suffer from the absence of Moholo and a pianist, Tippett or Tracey, but Osborne gets proceedings off to a hectic start with Charig chasing him furiously on ‘Molten Lead’. Both men turn in ebullient solos and the rhythm section is solid. Osborne’s strongest performance comes on ‘Where’s Freddy ?’ another tune which gets off to a flying start with alto and cornet joyfully projecting the theme. Then the alto comes forward and takes off on furiously fluid runs sounding as though he will never stop, though he does, just to let Charig loose on an equally exciting flight. Osborne’s momentum is unstoppable and full of barely contained vitality. The album also features the bluesy ‘I Wished I Knew’, a Billy Smith number which cools down the tempo. There is a glimpse of the reflective Osborne playing the tune straight, holding back and letting the melody convey its sense of something lost, something hurting. Superb performances all round. With hindsight it could sound like a swan song but at the time I thought it just another gem from musicians I greatly admired. These are just some of my favourite moments from his career. Meanwhile much of Mike Westbrook’s big band works have been made available again so it is possible to hear him again in that context. There was also the release of Outback and Shapes by FMR a couple of years back. And of course, the latest Brotherhood Of Breath cd, a concert from 1973, features a classic Osborne solo and composition. ‘Think Of Something’ has a wonderfully ragged theme before his alto clears a path and, aided by his trio and various punctuations from the rest of the horns, swings with controlled power over the ensemble. One voice among many but a unique and distinctive one, slipping in some of his favourite licks. News of him and his present condition is scant but it seems unlikely that he will play again in public. Evan Parker’s interview in Jazz on CD (March ’95) makes clear the reasons. It is a great loss to jazz and makes his recorded output all the more precious. ©Paul Donnelly SELECTED DISCOGRAPHY: Border Crossing, Mike Osborne Trio (OGUN OG300) All Night Long, The Willisau Concert (OG700) SOS, Skidmore/Osborne/Surman (OG400) Tandem, Mike Osborne/Stan Tracey (OG210) Marcel’s Muse, Mike Osborne Quintet (OG810) Family Affair, Harry Miller’s Isipingo (OG310) Procession, Brotherhood Of Breath (OG524) Travelling Somewhere, ditto (Cuneiform : Rune 152)

keys in hand, ready to go out the door, and trane and elvin playing welcome come through the speakers. one trip is slightly delayed. to have a recording stop a train of activity after having heard it for 47 years, even owning it, is some kind powerful work. which piece of music or artist stops you in those very tracks, after all these years?

i have never sold or given away an lp, cassette, or cd. there are perhaps 10 i have lent out that didnt make it back. when i have only a few thousand, how can i do without one? however, i am looking forward to looking backward. when i moved last in 1979, i put in a nice dry cool basement area a collection of several hundred vinyls i for which i had no shelves, which i havent touched in all that time. in the next week or two, when the wind is just right, i am going to revisit my tastes of 1979, and am excited to know i will surely find a long forgotten love or two.

cnbc is financial pornography

http://www.variety.com/index.asp?layout=pr...p;categoryid=14 Posted: Tue., Sep. 18, 2007, 12:31pm PT Rupert Murdoch takes aim at CNBC Fox Business Network to launch on Oct. 15 By MICHAEL LEARMONTH Rupert Murdoch vowed that News Corp.'s upcoming Fox Business Network would take a very different approach to business news than CNBC, casting the upcoming battle as Wall Street vs. Main Street. "It's going to be different from CNBC, just as Fox News is different from CNN," Murdoch told Wall Streeters at the Goldman Sachs-sponsored conference Tuesday. "CNBC is a financial channel for Wall Street; we're for Main Street." CNBC has had little competition, short of Bloomberg TV, since CNN shuttered CNNfn in late 2004. Fox Business Network is set to launch in 34 million homes on Oct. 15. "They dwell too much on failures and scandals and politics," Murdoch said of CNBC. "We want to spend a lot of time on innovation, successes and people who are making money." Murdoch said the launch of FBN and the acquisition of Dow Jones coincide with what he believes to be "a unique point in history" where demand for financial information will increase for decades as prosperity and entrepreneurial culture spread around the globe. He said he expects News Corp.'s $5 billion acquisition of Dow Jones to be completed in December. CNBC and Dow Jones have an exclusive content agreement that runs through 2012, but Murdoch said the deal covers only business news and won't prevent Fox Business Net from using the brand or the content. "There is no reason we could not have Wall Street Journal coverage of politics, international affairs, lifestyle, travel, you name it," he said. CNBC spokesman Kevin Goldman didn't dispute Murdoch's interpretation of the agreement. "We're about providing fast, accurate, actionable and unbiased business news to people with a lot of money and those who aspire to have a lot of money," he said. News Corp. has already identified $100 million in savings at Dow Jones that Murdoch described as the "low-hanging fruit." He added that the company employs 1,600 journalists globally at Dow Jones Newswires and the Wall Street Journal and that they could be better leveraged by having wire reporters "work closely with the paper itself." Murdoch said he hadn't decided whether to switch WSJ.com from a subscription to a solely advertising-supported business model. The switch would mean a short-term $30 million hit to the bottom line, eventually offset by higher ad revenue. Cost savings, he said, "are not really what we're about; we're about expanding revenues." Sensitive that Wall Street has been wary of News Corp. stock, Murdoch defended his record of acquiring and launching new businesses. "When we started Fox News, I was considered an idiot," he said. "How could I possibly do that, spend a billion dollars? It's worth $10 billion today. Two years ago you were laughing at me about (buying) MySpace. What's that worth today? Certainly more than 20 times what we paid for it." It took Fox News five years to reach full distribution in more than 90 million homes across the U.S. He said if the company produced "the channel we think we can," full distribution for FBN would come in the same time frame. Weeks from its scheduled launch, Fox Business Network has been busy lining up talent. The network named four new anchors on Tuesday: Peter Barnes, Jenna Lee, Nicole Petallides and Cody Willard. They join David Asman, Dagen McDowell, Cheryl Casone, Stuart Varney and Rebecca Gomez, who were named last week. Read the full article at: http://www.variety.com/article/VR1117972202.html

Noj, I was rootin' for your guys to win that one. I heard whistles before the kick so I assume the TO was called in time, but I felt sorry for Janikowski nonetheless. What a MF mindf*ck! Definititely seemed like a home field gift for Shanahan. Janikowski should have made it the second time too. Still, a 52-yarder, that's no gimme. I don't think the defense should be given that sort of demand with time outs. Either call it early enough to stop the snap of the ball, or the refs should ignore a defensive team in that situation. I know I've seen them ignore coaches in that situation in the past, or maybe they just ignore the Raiders. But hey, it was in Denver so Shanahan gets whatever his little elvish heart desires and the ball gets spotted an extra 12 inches every time the home team runs the ball. I hate the NFL. What Shanahan did was completely within the rules. A few years ago they gave coaches the right to call timeouts from the sideline, what they usually do is call the ref over and let them know that they'll be calling a timeout "at the last second" prior to the snap. As long as they gave the ref the heads up that the timeout is coming, they are granted the timeout. What Shanahan did was the new millennium version of "icing the kicker"...and in this case it worked. I still think it's kind of shitty, but there is no cheating involved. I don't want to hear that kind of good reasoned argument, I'm trying to whine here. Now if you'll excuse me, I'll continue to wallow in the agony of Raider fandom. your raiders got hosed bigtime.

enjoy it while it lasts.

the only way this was discovered was through our data gathering devices. way back when, aloc could have issued some forgissimo cd's and no one would have noticed.

You dig? my cats do!

the database is from 1991

The Bergen County NJ library system that I belong to, allows access via ProQuest.umi.com to the complete run of the Times for free. All I need is my 14 digit library card number. I'm more interested in reading the Times from 1923-1986 than almost anything published by them in the last 20 years. One of the highlights of my scatter shot Times reading was finding my Grandfather listed in a list of debtors being taken to court by a creditor in the middle of the depression. Roots baby! digging in old old newspapers is one of life's great pleasures

i wouldnt take those stats to the bank. it was probably more like 2700 paying subscribers.
