LLOYD COLE likes golf.

Some of those tennis players released a version of Led Zep's 'Rock 'n' Roll'.

I can't believe nobody's mentioning David Ortiz's new reggaeton album (!), featuring somebody called Cynthia Roquez. It's entitled, regrettably, "Bases Loaded." I have a feeling it's the best thing in the world.

thurl bailey has a record or two out... (former NBA player)

"In addition to professional speaking, Thurl is a broadcast analyst for the Utah Jazz and the University of Utah, an actor, and an award winning singer/song writer. His first album, Faith In Your Heart, is a compilation of uplifting songs that won several top awards. His latest CD, ‘I’m Not The Same’ is released October 2002 with great reviews and is a fusion of original style R&B and nu soul."

There appear to be three versions of "For the Money" and two versions of, er, "Punani."

Needless to say, this is a must-buy.

And yes I know that most pro athletes are men.

regrettably, mr. lalas is an alumnus of my undergraduate college. at least we had a good soccer team while he was there.

It's for real, and it's not very good. Here's a lo-fi RM file, provenance unknown, that I found somewhere. I haven't heard the full-length yet, but if this is the single, I don't have high hopes for the rest, sheer novelty value aside.

7 years pass...

Heard Cecil Taylor was a great basketball player, though he was considerably smaller than stereotypical players.

Was HR involved in anything organised athletically or just naturally athletic? Seen footage of those other DC types Fugazi pretty much slamdunking themselves through basketball hoops.
