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.

Met my old friend Opera Dog after nearly thirty years gap last week. Well, when I say old friend, you know how it is when something has an immediate impact and the memory will not subside. http://www.meetup.com/Museums-Galleries-and-More/events/32971172/ | |

OK, freeform applies to the color scheme, I can't wait for Kenny G. to fill in and set his playlist color scheme to black on black! | |

Brian in UK:
Very Spinal Tap.This station survived long enough without us lot wittering on. So the sounds are the building blocks this is a bonus. Like a lot of things the more you look the clearer the view. This ofcourse could be a complete load of baloney. | |
|
Tue. 12/27/11 9:25am
Bill W:
bonjour, Trouble & Icepack. Have you seen "Tomboy" yet? | |
|
Tue. 12/27/11 9:26am

Morning Trouble! Love the aaaht, as they say in RI. I swear I have seen those nails on the subway. Green on green makes me think of tropics and rain soaked palm leaves. | |

I see the name of the piece is "Sacrifice #2". Funny, but sacrifice is the last thing that comes to mind when I look at that picture. | |

Brian in UK:
Las Acacias is a beautifully filmed Argentinian film. Nothing much happens but the director & cinematographer are not afraid to hover on a shot. I'll become tall & handsome & learn to sing. Dream on. | |

...Although a scratch DJ could do a killer unplugged set (carefully) with those nails. | |

Tue. 12/27/11 10:30am
ffrr:
It's not the colors so much but the contrast with the text, which could be darkened. But you're always trouble so... | |
|
Tue. 12/27/11 10:32am
trouble:
we r broadcasting from a bomb shelter here peeps. no bourgeois techniques like "contrast" and such. no lattes either, just pure adrenalin | |
