All very emo. I rate the concert based on the two bands.

Well, I've seen every Jaco video and I own them among bootlegs, originals, and never-released ones that are floating around online. Him solo, W.Report both with official members and special additions, him with Joni, him and some people I didn't recognize, etc. I have more videos than Wooten, but only because Woot is more recent and thus there’s more stuff available. I also have about 5 or 6 dates from Bass Day; at the one in 2004 (I think) the event is closed by Felix, Jaco's son, with Jaco's bass (at least that's what it looks like from the sorry state of the bass being played). Now let’s see: I’m well-stocked with Dave Holland (in the last 5-6 years they’ve released quite a bit of his video material). I have little of Clarke, and most of what I have is the recent crap. What I still need to gather a lot on is Marcus Miller on bass: I have a lot of stuff but I think it's only about 30% of the immense spaceship of material he’s produced; for example, I have nothing of Miller on keyboards. Absolute void of videos on Ron Carter, I don’t have even half of one except for a bootleg of about twenty minutes from the early 80s led by Cobham: Dukes Of something, I believe. But I console myself with the triple DVD of Ligabue and the box set of the Unreleased by Toto Cutugno... hell yeah.

<<< As for the FM, personally I don't see the classic (and obvious) stoner references you mentioned >>> There are two possibilities: either you’re confusing the album and the band, or you’re pulling my leg. This is even more outrageous than the one about the Rush <<<the references are much more banal and less sophisticated than you want to make me believe>>> Never said anything like that, I was just pointing out that the Rush have as much in common with the Manchu as the King Crimson do with the Libertines; the proportion is exactly the same. Anyway, keep going: your comments are all pearls to be included in the annals, alongside those of Francis; at this rate, you might even surpass him.

Ah well, yes, Wanderlei is undoubtedly the most scenic and spectacular; he's one who wins by beating down opponents without frills. However, this past year he has lost some of his edge, taking hits from Mark Hunt, who is a mid-tier fighter. He bounced back fighting two Japanese guys who were nothing special (even though he knocked out the last one with punches like in the good old days), and last but not least, he took a ton of hits from Ricardo Arona, although he lost on points, it was clear that he wasn’t himself. If you missed the fights from the past year, I recommend looking up Wanderlei vs. Arona, Fedor vs. Minotauro (Antonio Rodrigo Nogeira) from 12/31/2004 (not because he has beaten him several times, but that New Year's Eve fight is WORLD-CLASS) and, last but not least, the final of Pride F.C. in August 2005, Fedor vs. Crocop Filipovic... Fedor there makes you understand that he was created to kill, the man without expression. When I watch him, sometimes I think it's a special effect; he takes 200kg impact kicks right in the face, and the most he does is shift his balance. A bulldozer. Download it and then let me know how many minutes you were left open-mouthed; he makes Mirko Filipovic look like a neighborhood bully, terrifying... (can you tell I like martial arts? :D)

Anyway, the "clandestine" meetings of Brasilian-Valetudo are even better than the Pride. Pride is nice because it’s like an "all-star game," but they restrict it a lot... gloves, referees, short rounds... it’s more about the sport.

Wanda & Cropovic are finished, now only the Unbeatable & Monstrous Emilianenko Fedor remains. And this New Year’s Eve he will once again show at the new Pride. Emilianenko Fedor is a killing machine, God created him to strike, never seen anything like it except for the absolute genius Bruce Lee. Psycho, if you don’t know Emilianenko Fedor, you can’t say you've seen THE fighter. He shattered Crocop into 4, astonishing, unload and be amazed.

No no, I’ve never read it. A friend of mine has it, who is into Jacob's cult, but he’s never lent it to me; I think he keeps it in his bedside table in full Bible-Style.

Superawesome. What he did afterwards are other things, not comparable to this due to the extreme diversity of objective.

I really like Clarke too, his style is quite different from Jaco's. Jaco remains the strongest, but some of Clarke's Grooovose tricks are truly unmatched. Given their different styles, I could have seen them playing in the same band, with Don Alias the cheerful drummer + Airto Moreira on percussion, a random saxophonist, and absolutely Hancock on Fender Rhodes, producing a Fusion-Disco-70 vibe. It's a shame I didn't have the chance to tell Jaco.

Oh, but do you know Bambataa? No. And Phase II? No. Did you understand what I was talking about? No. Do you know the Islamic religion from New York? No. Do you know the creed of Hip Hop? No. You racists are the real ones; when I say "Islam," you immediately attack back talking about Bush and Iraq and Bin Laden, even though I’ve emphasized 700 times that I was talking about Bambataa and his Zulu Nation and their Islam-just-for-fashion. Do you know the Zulu Nation? No. Do you know Maurizio Cannavò? No. Then what the hell are you talking about? If you do know them, and despite everything, you respect and follow them, then you’re a fool too, even worse than them. Before you speak, read properly, idiot. Do you know Hip Hop? No. Then shut up.
