New effort from Mike Knott.  Yes, Mike Knott. !  These 14 tracks were recorded last year, and they show Knott visiting a more experimental side, as in barking like a dog and purring like a cat. This is a must have for any Knott fan + as usual it includes some beautiful ballads.

IMPORTANT ALFE NEWS

Alove For Enemies has been around since late 2000. During that time we have had our ups and downs, our highs and lows, our victories and our defeats. We have decided it is our time to step down. . . . Go to their myspace page for all the details.

I don’t think this is supposed to be out till Midnight GMT tonight,
but it’s been posted to the official BBC site:

Series Five
Doctor Who to return for fifth series in 2010.

After months of media speculation, the BBC can confirm that the BAFTA
award-winning Doctor Who will return for a fifth series in Spring
2010.

Viewers are in for a treat this Christmas, as a special episode
starring David Tennant and Kylie Minogue will be broadcast on BBC One
in December 2007.

Series Four, which went into production in July 2007, will hit UK
screens in Spring 2008, followed by a special episode for Christmas
2008.

In 2009 Doctor Who will return with three specials starring David
Tennant, with Head Writer, Russell T Davies.

The full-length fifth series will transmit in 2010.

Jane Tranter, Controller, BBC Fiction, says: “Doctor Who is one of the
BBC’s best loved and most successful dramas. Its journey over the past
three series has been one of the most ambitious and exciting that we
have had, and I’m delighted to be able to confirm not only three
exciting specials for 2009, but a fifth series in 2010. ”

Menna Richards, Controller, BBC Wales, says: “The success of Doctor
Who is a fantastic tribute to the dedication and expertise of the
production team at BBC Wales who have worked on the project from the
outset. This announcement is marvellous news for all involved, and
more importantly for the programme’s amazing fan base and audience.
BBC Wales is looking forward to producing the fifth series.”

Following the critically acclaimed season three finale, the BBC has
announced that Catherine Tate is set to return to the TARDIS for the
complete 13-week run of series four, reprising her role as Donna from
the 2006 Christmas special.

Freema Agyeman, who won praise for her portrayal of Martha Jones in
series three, is also set to return mid series four.

Author Madeleine L’Engle, whose novel “A Wrinkle in Time” has been enjoyed by generations of schoolchildren and adults
since the 1960s, has died, her publicist said Friday. She was 88.

Nashville, TN (Sep 04, 2007) - All For The King Music is pleased to announce that today, September 4, 2007, marks the release of Won’t Fade Away, the first new project in 10 years from Dove Award nominee and Gold-selling recording artist Rick Cua.

After a stellar career in both the mainstream and Christian music arenas that includes two Gold records with the legendary group, The Outlaws, 11 solo albums and a half-dozen #1 hit songs on Christian radio, Won’t Fade Away celebrates Cua’s silver anniversary in music ministry. This 12-song collection of rock worship anthems pairs Cua with a stellar lineup of songwriting partners including Gary Sadler, Tom Lane, Joe Beck, Leonard Ahlstrom, Carl Cartee, Cactus Moser, Steven Furtick, Bob Halligan, Jr. and Tony Hooper and showcases Cua’s ability to craft songs of genuine emotional depth and spiritual relevance.

Exhibiting his trademark blend of southern rock with a New York attitude, Cua combines his rich, encouraging voice with a fierce talent for songwriting that has been winning fans since his 1982 solo debut, appropriately titled Koo-ah. Beyond his brilliant recording career, Cua is also an artist, songwriter, artist manager, music publisher, music industry coach, ordained minister, writer, speaker and teacher.
