...Mike has been hitting the ball very well since he first played in Flordia," said Hogan. "He is a versatile player. We have used him at third, left field and now first base...
...Indonesia invaded the former Portuguese colony in 1975 ? with a nod and a wink from Washington, which saw Jakarta as a key anticommunist ally in the region ? and killed as much as one third of its population in 24 years of trying to subdue East Timor.

They help bring his almost perversely abstract compositions back down to the street, grounding them with raw raps and blunt beats. Tricky remains endearingly elusive, delivering almost all his vocals sotto voce, winding his way through the shadows of his songs...
