What with me posting the last of the Hardy economics lectures yesterday, I've decided to also repost Steve Coleman's early eighties talk, 'The Historical Place of the SPGB'. I'd previously posted the talk on the blog via ZShare but the links are long since dead and I much prefer using Mediafire anyway. The screen is less prone to freezing on you, and there's not as many annoying advertising pop-ups...

Thanks to Jack, this nice list to guide your CD acquisition. While finishing “Bird-Watcher,” a Profile of the jazz broadcaster and expert Phil Schaap, I thought it might be useful to compile a list of a hundred essential jazz albums, more as a guide for the uninitiated than as a source of quarrelling for the collector.

You railbirds know that I'm a big fan of Purdue tight end Dustin Keller. But I can forsee a scenario that would end up having Cal tight end Craig Stevens to Green Bay. He's an under the radar type of prospect who could end up being the top player among this year's class of tight ends with a little development. He's known as a great blocking tight end. He ranks right up there with Notre Dame's John...
