A viking ship appears on the horizon, a likeness of Loretta Lynn carved into its bow. Rare birds flock together to sing Francoise Hardy as soul hits. A sunset of blips and bleeps fills the air.

What do you mean by "almost end of the world".. What happend? did I miss something?
Is this about economy or the LHC ?

i'm sorry, i need to clarify for the non-us media saturated lovely listeners from abroad. Our media is in a frenzy of unique proportion, predicting dire consequence unless the government bails out wall street to the tune of billions of taxpayers $$. that is what i was referring to. O and all the religion that encompasses sarah palin.

Trouble, my wife and I are small business owners. We are losing our ASS, right now! I stayed up all night playing overdubs for my bands new record, got up and took a family portrait (self-portrait) for my little girls school project, now I'm listening to your show. Hey, at least we're not living in the dust bowl. Did you ever read 'Grapes of Wrath'?

negator, i am not dismissing the troubles. My husband was laid off in july, so we are feeling it. But the way the media/prez are painting it is insane... I hope we don't get to dust bowl proportions ever again.

Our financial system is built on a house of cards. The foundation of that house of cards is failing. You the American taxpayer is going to buy a new deck to shore up the house of cards. Thank You and God Bless America.

Just more Bush, doing what he always does when he wants to beat the Democrats. He just wants them to pass that fucking pacage carte blance with no oversight. One of his last power plays. His tactic is fear. I can't wait to see him in front of a war tribunal. Got any RX? 'Dick is a killer'?

Today's scary thought with a silver lining: When the Wall Street lay offs hit (50,000 or more?) and the City's budget tanks, get ready for housing price free fall in most of NYC and North NJ

gumby I am reading michael pollen: the omnivore's dilemma', and I am not sure we are heading in the right direction with modern farming either. raising livestock on feed lots produces huge amounts of waste that can't be returned to the soil as fertilizer, because of all the nitrogen from the fertilizer. ouch...

Yes, there seems to be no end to the dilemas our protein engorged mutated brains can come up with. It seems our humanocentric thought process may be our undoing after all. Go figure.

Good morning from the West Coast.
So, to summarize, I missed Nina Simone, Dusty Rhodes, Sun Ra, Dana Gillespie, and Rev. Gary.
A resounding "crap!", although I'm glad they were played for everyone else.
Keep up the good work, Trouble. I'm currently doing the samba.

You like those movies because not only do they have plot and action, they have good writing and semi-belivable characters.
I like them cause cars go boom.

I was at an animal blessing once.
It was the most hilarious thing ever.
Take nervous cats, add friendly Malamutes, and watch the fun. Probably not so fun for the cats, though.

Have you heard the new Sparks record? I would love it if you played the song 'Good Morning' from 'Exotic Creatures of the Night'. I'll be sure to attend the Woodstock thing naked, on a leash, with my pet catfish. I've looking for something like this......
