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.

Good morning Trouble, nice pic. Funny story about Jerry Lewis (from his book,'Dean & Me') smoking a joint passed along by Martin via music dir. Dick Stabile. Imagine Lewis on weed. Happy birthday Dean (& Tom Jones). | |

@Vivian - you just see a girl you like, and you go over and talk to her. Introduce yourself - be friendly - can't go wrong! | |

Parq:
Viv, he came of age in suburban Boston in the early 80s (and I was in college there in the late 70s, so I know a lot of the radio stations and record stores he mentions). Each chapter is themed on an 80s song, but the book is mainly about having three older sisters, and not being very much with girls in high school and throwing himself into New Wave as a way of life because he sucked at the way of life most of his friends adopted. I'm enjoying it. | |
|
Tue. 6/7/11 9:32am
moose:
ha! but you must talk about duran duran i keep forgetting that part | |
|
Tue. 6/7/11 9:32am
Vivian:
That is what I've told my male friends for years! But they don't believe me that a simple Hi and what are you reading is all you need! | |
|
Tue. 6/7/11 9:33am
kwhitehead:
Hi trouble: Just got my premiums in the mail. I won some of your books. I've been perusing them and am curious if you are responsible for those fanciful hand drawn bookmarks I keep coming upon. Many thanks and great show as usual. | |

Anthropologyogyticaly, Tom Jones is a barometer of social conventions; back then, men were men and little ladies new how to please and be obedient :) And naturally we all love Tom to bits over here in the UK too, Trouble! | |

jen v.:
this is beautiful! thanks, trouble! | |
|
Tue. 6/7/11 9:50am
trouble:
but don't you think he was playing with that stereotype? inviting women to throw panties, shocking at the time. love him | |

moose:
seemed to be done with plenty winkage (i just looked up 'winkage' to see if it's a real word, and came upon an entry for 'genetic winkage' in the 'elmer fudd wikipedia'- i did not know about this.) | |
|
Tue. 6/7/11 10:01am
trouble:
moose i heartily encourage non words here, and everywhere, in fact! | |
|
Tue. 6/7/11 10:02am
trouble:

|
Tue. 6/7/11 10:04am
kwhitehead:
The John Cage biography, the birding book and the Greil Marcus collection (straight from the Des Moines Public Library! | |
|
Tue. 6/7/11 10:09am
jen v.:
trouble, to be fair, there were even more explicit pictures that the esteemed public did not get to see, as much as we all wanted to. (sarcasm heavily implied there!) | |
|
Tue. 6/7/11 10:10am
trouble:
oooh fab! great john cage book, i own it myself. I thought that was a modern world trifecta! | |
|
Tue. 6/7/11 10:10am
postmanpaul:
@Trouble, you're right. He's solid, which is why he has endured. And Tom would never have posted no nickers back, unless he had been wearing them of course! | |
|
Tue. 6/7/11 10:11am
trouble:
jen v you mean he sent more than one? i didn't know that , ick ick and wrong | |

Vivian:
I know there are a few knitters out there..anyone receive an e-mail regarding a security breach at Ravelry.com? | |
|
Tue. 6/7/11 10:15am
trouble:
yes i did! did you go to ravelry and check it out? i haven't yet, duh... | |
|
Tue. 6/7/11 10:17am
Vivian:
I haven't. To be honest, I haven't had time to check out their patterns. I received a second e-mail today regarding the incident. The second e-mail made me suspicious-is it a lure into a hacker's web where they obtain your new password? | |
|
Tue. 6/7/11 10:21am
jen v.:
@Trouble yup! tip of the iceberg! it's all pretty pathetic. | |
|

Jennique:
My french is very rusty, but I am having problems translating. Are they just singing whatever they want because it is french and exudes sexiness? | |

Hi DJ-T, the "le monde est fou" track (Ost Zita soundtrack) was sung by Joanna Shimkus... p.s. I have a wee Welsh music fetish too, Tom Jones is the coolest cat but there's also Young Marble Giants and Joy Formidable! (singer/lead guitarist Ritzy-is a stunner!) | |
