It was good to hear him talking about his love of playing live - I'd be happy with some more of that. I had two quick additional things: 1.) We will be posting our second track from our upcoming "Songs of Roxy Music Revisited" album later tonight on our MySpace page. (We will come up with a better name for the record, by the way - any suggestions from Avalonians would be more than welcome!). This is a track that will appear on our "Roxy Side Projects" disc. It is US band Pop Archeology Transmission's cover of Eno classic "King's Lead Hat." Their version is fairly straight-forward, but I quite like it. You can check it out at: www.myspace.com/songsofroxymusicrevisited 2.) Does anyone have a copy of the Japanese Roxy Music Tribute Album "Tokyo Joe"? I actually "won" a copy on ebay from a fellow in Hong Kong, but when I received my package from him (which was sealed), while the cover art was fine, the disc inside was from a different album! I do have a copy of the other Japanese Roxy Tribute "Love Is The Drug," which I actually think is pretty good, or at least quite imaginative. I would be happy to burn a copy of that in exchange for a burned copy of "Tokyo Joe." If anyone can help me out, please let me know - I'd love to hear what that album sounds like.

Ferry like most people just wants to be liked. A few possible exceptions to this rule spring to mind. Recently I've experienced a fascinating change in myself here on Avalon: if they won't love me, let them at least hate me :-) So yes, it would seem time for me to leave, while I still have my dignity. (It was that small when I came here.) With regard to Bryan: when the public all of a sudden starts laughing at his comments, he immediately transforms himself into a comedian and makes the best of it. And he's right: flexibility and self-mockery would become us all.

I went straight to the DVD included with the Phil Manzanera compilation album and what a fascinating watch. The DVD has footage of the young Manzanera as a boy in his South American roots and him talking about his life there and his family. He talks a lot about a lot of the solo work and collaborations he has done over the years. It seems Phil has constantly had a video camera with him all his life. There where loads of snippets of Roxy on tour, backstage, on tour buses, planes in the studio etc from all eras of Roxy and most of it I had never seen before. The end of it had Phil talking about the next Roxy album and he had said they had been working on around 18 tracks. There was more footage or Roxy recording this album and it looked like Phil's studio and not the same sessions as we saw on the documentary Well worth watching.
