I'll add it to my to do list. I really enjoy finding great early artists. Here's a catchy song I heard on a youtube ad, took me a while to track it down. Jack Jack 5.0

Will he ever? I haven't heard much of Ozzy, but I like that one, He's got a pretty impressive band backing him too. That's awesome.

It's been another interesting few days in the NBA. I haven't heard how bad the injury is but Howard left late in the loss against the Suns with a shoulder injury. Not good new for the Lakers. Rudy Gay has been traded to the Raptors, Jose Calderon finds himself in Detroit (might be a good move for him, I hear real estate is pretty cheap there at the moment) and Tayshuan Prince lands at the Grizzlies (And some other bits and pieces, leaving the Grizzlies under the tax threshold and the Pistons with more cap space). A bit sad to see Prince go, he's been a one team and championship player for the Pistons, but that's the nature of the business I guess. Miami are starting to gain a bit of momentum, they looked a bit shaky earlier in the season but are on a 13-0 run. And an Australia Day tweet from Patty Mills (Is he wearing the women's uniform?)

Some big things have happened over the last few days. Boston reeling from Rondo rupturing his ACL. Can they go deep into the finals without him? I doubt it, I think we might see a few trades from them in the next few weeks. Lakers beat OKC. I hope it's a sign they've turned the corner. And oh joy of joys, the Bogut is back. And it sees the return of the Bogometer over on NBAMate vs Toronto (W) 29/01/13 Pts 12 Reb 8 Blk 4 Ass 2 Stl 1 60% He's Baack! And did I miss another coach being sacked? Phoenix? Edit: Oh yeah, and something about the Kings being sold. Seriously, who couldn't see that coming? Bit of a shame the Maloofs are screwing over the loyal Sacramento fans and selling out to a Seattle based group, but that just seems to be their style.

Oh yeah, I forgot about the new series. I'll take that over a movie anyday. I was reading somewhere that the movie has yet to be confirmed and is still unlikely (particularly if they're tying up the story lines in the new series) If I track down the series before you I'll let you know. I was a bit skeptical when I started watching the Walking Dead, but it didn't take long to get engrossed in the series. 3 seasons of gory goodness.

Dwightmare II: An LA Story It really seems quite incredible that the Lakers find themselves in this situation. I guess this is more of a media spin, kicking you while you're down, but certainly I could not have imagined LA's season going so badly (for whatever reason). Will there be any moves? And if so who? Player or coach?

Tobias: Okay, Lindsay, are you forgetting that I was a professional twice over: an analyst and a therapist, the world’s first “analrapist.” Priceless. Is the movie still due this year?

I can't seem to stop listening to this song by Matt Corby. I believe he was in Australian Idol or something similar a few years ago. The song did pretty well in Triple J's Hottest 100 from memory too. Jack Jack 4.9

Well there's another coach to add to the list, Scott Skiles and Milwaukee have reportedly parted ways. I wonder what the odds are for the Lakers sacking 2 coaches in 1 season?

The Nets have sacked Avery Johnson. Bit of a surprise after getting coach of the month in November. Any predictions for a replacement? SVG, Phil Jackson? With the money they've been throwing around with contracts I doubt they'll go after an untried head coach. Money doesn't seem to be a problem, so I reckon they'll push hard for Jackson.

The great Dave Brubeck passed away a few days ago at the ripe old age of 91 (one day before his 92nd birthday). One of the all time great jazz composers. Jack Jack's Jazz 3.6 http://youtu.be/8nZxWo1nEEM http://youtu.be/NDB4K5zCcfk

It's early I know, but it may change quickly so I'll take it while it's there. Rookie Ladder - November 14

Nice work Macca. I think this one is jazz (ish). Acid or nu jazz (or not). I don't know, but I though it was worth posting anyway. Jack Jack's Jazz 3.5

I'm a little stunned that the Lakers have appointed D'Antoni as head coach. I thought he kinda lost the plot in NY and the players were running the show (Okay, maybe just Melo). How Phil Jackson is spending his Monday.

Wow..... I guess they've got a lot at stake with the new players and payroll they're carrying. Didn't see that coming. Haha, does that mean Van Gundy could be coaching Howard again?

I like it ! Some more Benny Goodman Jack Jack's Jazz 3.4

The last week I think will be a bit crazy. When the clubs are dealt their fa compo picks to use for trading.

But they've got at least 3 or 4 vets, maybe more. It's a fair ol' wack they can pay outside the salary cap on top of their 9% extra.

Are you seeking an injunction against using pick 3 in F/S bidding?

They've got a few veterans as well don't they? They may well benefit from the new veterans rules whereby they can pay $100k to each that doesn't count in the salary cap.

What the.....

Training camps are in full swing and the season opener is only a few weeks away. Not much to report save for a few hijinks. D-Will and Reggie Evans got the munchies for popcorn. They couldn't find a container big enough so they decided to fill up Marshon Brooks car instead. Suns rookie Kendall Marshall received his official bag for the season. And Brandon Roy can't contain his excitement at being a Timberwolf.

School's back next week. That might help.

That's an interesting story behind the song Macca. I'm sure these guys have been posted before, but they're worth another listen. Jack Jack's 60's & 70's 4.8 http://youtu.be/NbbTwDPWY_A
