Followers of 'The Mighty Boosh' will not be surprised - after all, wasn't Vince Noir brought up in the jungle by Bryan Ferry? Ah yes, halcyon days re; Branson in 'Transformers', the drawing of whom directly led me to a life of Doctor Whoing. Which continues to this day with something called 'Battles in Time' into which I hope to squeeze some Roxy references :) Speaking of which, for those wishing to while away the hours unprofitably, the 'comics' page of my newly-revamped website (see below) has the picture of Mackay being arrested by Ferry which appeared in the '2000ad' comic; this time recoloured for a more accurate green Dalek-trousered experience. There's also a pic I did for The Big Mac's 40th birthday in the cartoons section (a mere 15 years prior to the similar version on John O'B's site - I hope to render an even bigger sax for AM's 60th), plus the usual Thunderbirds/Roxy stuff on the 'Thunderbirds' page.

Vince/Noel thinks The Human League and not Roxy invented music. Don't forget this is also the programme that had Bryan Ferry as Tarzan of the jungle in another episode.

Nice song, references Bryan and includes the line "jump up, bubble up" partways through it. . . And on an unrelated, but beneficial note, The Replacements, one of the best bands EVER, have just released a greatest hits compilation with TWO new recordings on it! Value add - that's the way to do it. Seriously - if you appreciate *excellent* rock songwriting (and I guess the Avalon audience does) coupled with passionate singing and playing, then get "Don't You Know Who I Think I Was?" by The Replacements. Paul Westerberg is in an elite club of super-talented lyricists/musicians (alongside Ferry, naturally). Buy This NOW! 8-) Over and out, - ---joel Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Even though I have now been posting the story a couple of times since Sunday. Was there some sort of vote taken? I grant you that it wasn't much of a story. But it was couched in terms that paid ready compliment to the suave sophisticated BF instead of peddling the Eno is Great theory. Well, more of a fact, really. I'd appreciate someone (anyone) letting me know they can see my mail. Obviously, a group decision to ignore this request would just be very childish and not at all funny. If you CAN see this mail, I guess I need to find out why my received mails no longer include my own contributions.

No one's messages are censored. 2. The digest is automatically generated; I have nothing to do with it. 3. The proper address for posting to the list is avalon@smoe.org. 4. The digests are archived here: http://www.smoe.org/lists/avalon/ 5. My email address is easy to find and use. Indeed, instead of making rude and uncalled for public accusations, sending such a message to me privately would have elicited the response that (a) I never saw the message until this morning when it bounced to me for approval as it contained the word "subscribe" within the first 5 lines of the message and (b) that I approved it and sent it on this morning. 6. All of this information is contained in the list's information document which may be easily obtained by sending a message with the content "info avalon" (minus the quotes) to majordom@smoe.org.

Brian will be a "special guest" at Will Wright's Long Now seminar on Time on Monday 26th June 2006 at The Herbst Theater in San Francisco USA. EnoWeb jokes that it looks forward to the release of Sim Eno in which Brian is chased around a maze by a group of ghosts -- and when they catch him, they make him re-join Roxy Music. It's not quite Game Over for Brian yet though: some sites report he's providing music for the Will Wright game Spore.
