Star of the day: Barry Alvarez, newly elected college hall of famer

In my book, he is the best football coach ever (on a 2nd thought, maybe tied with Mack Brown and Jimmy Johnson :P) Congrat to him for being elected to the hall of fame! It is an amazing feat for him to turn around the Wisconsin football program that had been losing for a long time into a three-time Rose Bowl winner in a decade.

Music of the day: Purpose Built

This is an album by jazz bassist/band leader Michael Janisch. This album reminds me of Dave Holland's recent works. I believe that is a big compliment. Here is the line-up:
Michael Janisch: acoustic bass (1, 3-7, 9-11), electric bass (2, 8, 12); Aaron Goldberg: piano (2, 3, 9, 10); Jim Hart: vibraphone (1, 4, 6, 11); Jason Palmer: trumpet (2, 7, 8, 11); Paul Booth: tenor saxophone (1, 2, 6); Mike Moreno: guitar (2, 8); Patrick Cornelius: alto saxophone (5, 11); Phil Robson: guitar (5, 9); Walter Smith III: tenor saxophone (1, 8, 11); Johnathan Blake: drums.

And to be honest with you, I have not heard of any of them before but they all played impressively on this album.
