Women and Men, Just to add my two penn'orth to what's been said already about this show - very special! I was a little anxious about it, about whether Bryan still really had it. Any lingering doubts in the first few songs were excised by Chance Meeting, which really shone brightly, veering from pastoral sweetness to psychotic savagery! [The Telecaster guitar work loosened wax in my ears that had been there for many years - ouch!] Another particular favourite was Sunset, which benefited from the expansive treatment it was given. The Roxy songs all seemed to me rooted in their recorded versions but flourished and bloomed due to the extra colour and dynamics afforded by the instrumentation. My advice to Bryan would be to get this band (and Rhett Davies) into the studio pronto and re-record (quickly) some of the songs he already has waiting for his next release. The ATGB material really skipped along live. I hope Bryan has recorded I Can't Get Started With You, a possible future B side? Where Or When was the stand out, but where was I'm In The Mood For Love? Bryan really seemed to enjoy the whole thing. And whatever he had when he took a break after 45 minutes or so, I want some too! [Probably Perrier water, just to keep Kicki and the lawyers happy! ;-) ] I'd echo the remark made (by J O'B?) that (even?!) Jealous Guy was magnificent, very strong. And Bryan remains rock's greatest whistler! I hope Radio 2 make a good choice of material for their broadcast (I'm going to email them later - incidentally, Trevor Dann, big chief of music at the BBC, was a big fan and had a dog called Roxy in the late 1970's) and I hope they can find time at a later date to air the whole concert. It was nice to speak to Martino - sorry I couldn't make the post match drink, but I had to whisk my escort for the evening back to Palmers Green. I'm looking forward to meeting those of you who'll be at Croydon and I may be able to get down to the King's Head before the RFH concert on Tuesday, if only to say hello to Han. And to have a glass of Adnams in convivial surroundings. But, hey, enough of my yackin'!

Whangarei, Dec 8 - A teenage murder accused planned to kill a man, get drunk and then die himself, the High Court at Whangarei was told yesterday. Kerry Anthony Johansen, 17, is accused of the murder of Stephen Mitchell, 34, at Hukerenui, 30km northwest of Whangarei, on May 10. Johansen pleaded not guilty to the charge at the start of the trial on Monday. He pleaded guilty to charges of burgling Mr Mitchell's home and planning the aggravated robbery of Patel's Food Market, in Whangarei, the same day. Yesterday the jury finished listening to an hour-long audio tape recording Johansen made over a six-hour period before and after the shooting. Johansen made the tape to "record everything I do". On the tape Johansen can be heard planning to hold Mr Mitchell up because he knew he had up to $200. Johansen burgled Mr Mitchell's sleepout and stole his double-barrel shotgun. He then went to test the gun and declared on the tape "man, did it make a big hole in the tree". Johansen can then be heard drinking beer and plotting what he was going to do with Mr Mitchell. "I'll kill him ... then I'll get pissed and die, yeah, later," he says. The song Let's Stick Together by Roxy Music can then be heard on the tape, interrupted by a loud bang, which the Crown alleges is the sound of the shotgun going off and is the shot that killed Mr Mitchell. Johansen then got into Mr Mitchell's car and drove off. His last words on the tape after complaining about the traffic were "I'll shoot someone again". In his evidence yesterday Graeme Kinraid, senior technical investigator at the police electronic crime investigation unit, said the dictaphone Johansen used to make the recording was functioning properly. Mr Kinraid listened to the tape numerous times and recorded it on to a compact disc so it could be played repeatedly. He said he had heard shots on tape many times and in his opinion the loud bang heard on Johansen's tape was a gunshot. Mr Kinraid said if Johansen had told Mr Mitchell to get against a wall, as the accused told police, it would have been captured on the tape recording. The court was also told yesterday a farmer who lives between Hukerenui and Hikurangi, 15km away, said Johansen visited him about 6.30pm on May 10 in Mr Mitchell's car. The farmer said Johansen wanted some petrol and appeared normal. The jury was to visit the scene of the killing today. The trial is expected to be finished by the end of the week.

Subject: RE: [AVALON] Remasters You know I'm confused on these "remasters" and would appreciate if someone can just fill me in on this. I'm here in NY but the only remastered disk I see available for purchase at Tower is "Avalon". Are all the others from the catalog available as well and they just don't have them? Or do I have to go another route to get them? Thanks in advance for your help.

Also, what about those who only have access at work or at internet-cafes. Maybe a little more info on the ins, outs and wherefores and whys of this format and a choice of cd or tape? I'm not being a spoilsport on this, just thinking of the practicalities. But as I say, it's a good idea, and it'll fit nicely in the cd rack. What we really need is affordable recordable DVD (and any other able's). I have sworn that I won't even consider DVD until you can get a reasonably priced recorder. (Sorry, gone off the point a bit). SimonG >>> "Martin Stockman" 12/08 8:28 am >>> Jason Gibbs and his wizards are editing the selections. He's come up with an excellent alternative to distributing a video format. To quote him.. "I can compile a 3 or 4 CD set too using what is called MPEG1 compression. Then we can make a 4-CD box set which will play beautifully on a Mac or PC - we could do a nice cover and back too for it. The image quality would be fantastic at quarter screen - much better than a TV." I know a lot of Avalonia is highly computer literate and this style may be preferable to whacking it into the VCR. It may be easier to ship as well.

I have been having problems posting to the list for a long time, and now have a theory as to why it was happening. Perhaps this may help other frustrated Avalonians. Here's my theory: When you send an email to avalon@smoe.org, it checks to see if you are subscriber. If not, it doesn't post it. This makes a great deal of sense, as it prevents spamming. (Unless the spammer subscribes to the list, using the same e-mail account!) In my case, I subscribed to the list under one e-mail address, and replied under another. Now I'm in with the in crowd! I hope this message helps someone else who is having the same problem.
