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.

orange + pink = Baskin Robbins! @Trouble - the Pacific was really, really cold but foggy and breathy and beautiful. I also went to Yosemite, where record snowfalls have made the waterfalls gushing and lovely and dangerous. Sad to back in the concrete jungle. | |

Well I am biased being from California, but it was really pretty. I do have very fond memories of going to Horseneck beach just over the border of lil Rhody into Mass. Great beach and easy to swim in the warm Atlantic. | |

raul solnado is "the" great, classic portuguese comedian. in this clip, he's calling the white house... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DVMz18l8tH8&feature=related ...guess he was trying to talk to lyndon b. | |

Jennique:
Trouble, I went to see the Ponderosa Stomp:She's Got the Power at Lincoln Center last weekend and stayed to see the outdoor performance art piece Eiko & Koma:Water. I am not a performance art person but was really taken with what they did. Really worth seeing. | |

David:
after years of listening, I finally have to write in and say, what a great show! the abstract art lesson was lovely, and I confess I grew up listening to Karloff/Kipling on vinyl. But I bury the lead: the music! always a revelation. Thank you trouble. | |

Loved the show. But I'm curious, is there any way you could choose a couple of colors for your playlist that would be slightly more difficult to read? | |
