Advantages: Some of Shawn's best matches from 1996, with commentary by his lovely self Disadvantages: Only 7 matches which you may already own if a fan of 90's WWF.

As you may be able to tell from some of my other wrestling reviews, Shawn Michaels is in fact the only reason why I do bother to tune into any WWE programming most weeks. Having been a fan of his since the age of six, I doubt whether my fascination with the self proclaimed Sexy Boy is ever going to go away.
When I re-started watching wrestling a few years ago, my parents were sceptical as to whether I'd be able to bother to watch weekly for the man himself. In fact, the only reason why I stopped watching WWE programming for a while is because Shawn left the company; he'd badly injured his back during the January pay per view of the Royal Rumble back in 1998 when he took a crash landing onto a Casket (perhaps best not to ask if you aren ...

I discovered this Davidoff fragrance in 2004 when browsing in Boots. As I have smelled Echo amongst others in the atmosphere of the shop mingled with at least 50 other fragrances, I said to myself : Uhmmm this is exotic, this is sexy! Back then I just started learning notes in a perfume and what I smelled was musk - one of the first oriental base notes I was able to recognize at the time. I purchased it straight away. Trying it at home though showed me an altogether different character of the perfume.

Advantages: Candid, revealing insight into the reality of 'the nice one' Disadvantages: Sometimes hard to keep track of who's who; strangely short on humour
And now for something completely different?Never meet your heroes,? goes the old adage. ?Never read their diaries? might be equally sage advice. That?s probably why I didn?t tackle Michael Palin?s collected daily journals until now. Along with the rest of the Monty Python team, he was without doubt a hero of my teenage years. Today, when so much television is disposable pap, such admissions stretch credulity. But I derived more enjoyment, education and social acceptance from Monty Python?s Flying Circus than any other influence on my nerdish adolescent self.
Even now, 30 or more years later, I was wary of anything which might demolish the façade of those shows, which could reveal that my telly gods had feet of clay. So I opened this hefty, 600-page distillation of the Python years (1969-1979) with trepidation.

Album Notes
Take some Benin tradition--namely the sato and sakpato rhythms--then add on heavy layers of electric soul and funk filtered through the prism of West Africa, and you have the sound of the Orchestre Poly Rythmo. The basis of each of the 15 tracks here is a groove so solid you could walk on it (though you'd be more likely to dance) topped with horns and some deliciously wild guitar--admittedly, not always in tune, but it doesn't matter, since the spirit of it shines long and loud. For the most part this is straight ahead funk, but on "Zizi" there's a detour into the kind of Cuban rhythms that were in vogue throughout West Africa for several decades. The real centrepieces, however, are "Gan Tche Kpo" and "Mede Ma Gnin Messe," both over nine minutes long, giving everyone time to stretch out. The first is simply barely contained madness that never stops, while the latter is a serious workout for the horn section, which makes the most of it, trading licks and roaring off into solos. The original recordings might have been made on fairly primitive equipment, but the sound is full and appealing.
