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.

I've heard of Macarthur Park, but I didn't think it was by the three Degrees. I only know When Will I See You Again, by them. also Hi Trouble ^_^ | |

just got in like to add a story about mcarthur park. went to hi school with a keyboard player. he had a band and they were playing at a local grammar school. they did a couple tunes then they launch into mcarthur park with drummer larry singing lead vocals like an angel. couple months go by larry knocks on my door with his slingerland drum set , hes going to canada needs money. he sells me the set of drums for 100 bucks goes to canada never heard from him since.that was a bleak moment for larry and me. i missed vietnam by 2 years, dont know if i would have gone to canada. ill never know. mcarthur park very special memory. larry where are you? | |
|
Tue. 9/27/11 9:35am

wow, this is a different cover version. It's always interesting when someone does a cover totally different to the original/famous one | |

a guy i knew had a 45 of wayne newton doing purple haze. it was surprisingly not completely horrible. | |

Wheedle's Groove! On the first day of our Northwest vacation, we headed into the most touristy nabe in Seattle, only to stumble onto a free, midday, outdoor Wheeldle's Groove show. You never know ... | |

Jennique:
One of my favorite covers is Ella Fitzgerald singing Sunshine of my Love. This cover of Jesus Christ pose just scrambles my brain. I wonder what Chris Cornell thinks of it. | |
|
Tue. 9/27/11 9:38am
glenn:
even though purple haze is probably the most overrated, overplayed rock song ever, more so than stairway to heaven by a long chalk. | |
|
Tue. 9/27/11 9:41am

so um...that is the announcer on the train you are on Marmalade Kitty? i wondered what it was before & had to scroll up... | |

scarlett is easy on the eyes for sure | |

Ausmanx, yup..It's bound to be cheaper than buying a British rail Trai ticket! Ouch!! | |
|
Tue. 9/27/11 9:55am
trouble:
miketp: that was quite a story. btw all i have never heard the sound garden original, i looked up wheedle's groove, thinking it was an old song, so i was a bit surprised to read differently... | |
|
Tue. 9/27/11 9:56am
pgw in mntclr:
that mikki wilcox song was quite nice | |
|
Tue. 9/27/11 9:59am
Andrew:
I liked that movie. This song is great too. I wake up crazy every day... yeh, that often happens with me, i hear a song & thought it was the original, but it wasn't. Like Juice Newton's Queen of Hearts...which I thought was by her...turns out it had been covered about 30 times before her. wow, these last few songs have been great! ^_^ | |
|
Tue. 9/27/11 10:01am
Jennique:
Trouble, I have such a strong association with the song Jesus Christ Pose, that time in my life and I was a big Soundgarden/Chris Cornell fan at that particular moment. Funny how some songs just release a flood of memories. So hearing it sung in a completely different way was just too hard for my brain to pull itself out of the original. | |
|
Tue. 9/27/11 10:02am

paul pena's original of jet airliner is far superior to steve miller's, but not many people have heard it. | |

I have a few high School songs from the 365 days project..i love Fox On The Run & Sunshine of Your Love. Also last Thursday I got a pile of CDs done via this project "Kool Skools" which take high school kids bands & singers & make an album per school, been going for many years it seems, these are all from 2006, all victorian bands. There's some good stuff! some are covers & some originals. our school never had much of a music class. | |

Back from my commute. I never knew "Jesus Christ Pose" was a Soundgarten song either. Makes sense that a soul collective from the Big Rainy would turn it into a gospel song. But then I'm an FMU listener -- I thought the Les Reines Prochaines recording "Opfer dieses Liedes" was an original, and knew it for a year before I first heard "Wicked Game". | |

ah this is great, the last 2 I have tol dmy friend about, cos she liked Adele & was asking for people who have similar voices. She would probably like these last 2 ^_^ I love WFMU so much ^_^ you are on my favourite shows list now Trouble ^_^ also, i like the library & did work experience at the school library. who sings this talking song? or is it the end of jackie lee? | |

leigh: he loves it! paterson is a poor community with a lot of soul and he loves helping them. he works in reference. the perks are he orders music, dvds, curates music programs, writes grants, downsides: freaked out junkies who hang out in the library on rainy days. BUT he has made amazing friends with the patrons and is constantly engaged with his work | |

That Massive Attack song was good! I am gonna tell my friend about it, as he is into them, but wouldn't have heard that. (he tends to only go for the latest album a band puts out) This DJ kensei one is a good song i was looking at this beforehttp://savagemandolin.tumblr.com/page/5 check out the hat on that guy!! he looks like an um 'festive' viking | |

Good day, trouble. Is the painting depicting entrapment inside a honeycomb of infinity with a loving but imposing god-like figure. Or perhaps I'm reading too much into it. | |

that is the artists's name glenn... | |

Tue. 9/27/11 11:23am
Andrew:
it looks a bit like a cow coming out of her uterus.... yeh, the dress day was meant to be something like, being man enough to wear a dress. but women wear mens clothes all the time. also, a kilt is a skirt & the scots are pretty manly men. this guy Jamie Lidell has a nice voice | |
|
Tue. 9/27/11 11:23am
Jennique:
Brian in UK, as far as I can remember about Tarot cards, "the force" card or strength card is supposed to depict a female gently opening a lions mouth. DVF seems like just the lady to do it. | |
|
Tue. 9/27/11 11:24am
trouble:
me neither glenn, but it is a fab song and brian in the UK, i see " the force" as a wolf with a heart at the center of all the buzz (ummmm?) | |

From wikipedia: The modern interpretation of the card stresses discipline and control. The lion represents the primal or id-like part of the mind, and the woman, the 'higher' or more elevated parts of the mind. | |

Eyes of the sourcerer. Ojos de brujo | |
|
Tue. 9/27/11 11:42am
Jennique:
Me too Trouble. But I agree with you about the heart shape. One of the first things I saw. That could either be a lick of flame in the center? Or just a tongue from the lion's mouth. | |
|
Tue. 9/27/11 11:42am
trouble:
eyes of the sorcerer, love it | |
|
Tue. 9/27/11 11:45am
Brian in UK:
Why is the heart symbol that shape when the physical heart is a pumping lump? Discuss. | |
|
Tue. 9/27/11 11:46am
Andrew:
the heart shape looks more like an angled view of the inside of the lion's mouth, the flame bit being it's tongue. | |
|
Tue. 9/27/11 11:47am
trouble:
oh becasue as jennique just pointed out it looks like a licking flame... | |

Tue. 9/27/11 11:47am
Andrew:
if you think like a muppet like Kermit | |
|
Tue. 9/27/11 11:48am

Andrew - like the muppet idea. I would pose for the tarot card painting of a woman gently opening Kermit's mouth. Or maybe the Cookie Monster? | |
