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.

Hi Trouble &c. Bflo expects 12-15" overnight, that's about par for Feb. Sadenned by John Barry's passing. He was the go to guy back in the day, much like Desplat is now. There are moments of sheer brilliance to be heard from his canon. 'You Only Live Twice' OST is a fav. RIP | |

As far as my sex life with snow, the thrill is gone. It's stifling me now. I need some time apart. | |

Adrian in London:
Afternoon, yes that Vivian Maier pic is great. There's a great piece from a Chicago TV news programme on the archivist's blog. It's a wonderful story but so sad that he wasn't able to track her down before she died. | |

enjoying the show but my mind's on Egypt. There's 2 MILLION ppl in Tahrir Square protesting & taking care of each other by sharing food,drinks, & making sure others around them are safe. Not sure how long this can last but for now it's awe-inspiring | |

I must be getting old. I go to bed on Monday night and wake up to TROUBLE, so it must be Thursday ...and there's two feet of snow on the ground and more coming down. Then I see that I missed the Ricky Nelson. Damn! He was so cute ...and so few people have the zazz to say so!! Best | |

that should be punctuation bitch. | |

rosh - absolutely. Stirring and humbling. As with other similar people power surges, they initially had to accept the very real chance of being shot or tank-blasted in the streets, but they still came out and stayed. | |

whenever ricky nelson came on the teevee, i would absolutely swoon, dreaming he was singing to me.. | |

Sounds strange to say it out loud, but, "Good morning, Trouble. Glad to hear from you." | |
|
Tue. 2/1/11 11:04am
Parq:
Charm. that would be the B-side to "Good Morning Heartache". Coincidentally, I briefly met the author of that song last fall. He's just this guy, you know? | |
|
Tue. 2/1/11 11:07am
Carmichael:
I was thinking along the lines of Faron Young's "Hello, Walls", but either will do handily. | |

No; I was in a Fnac in France last week and saw it, but plumped for the Biolay live DVD instead. | |
