Did anybody else hear Haale's live set on Dan Bodah's Airborn Event show recently? That was impressive. Haale's new album is great. I think this show's listeners would particularly dig it.

Thu. 12/18/08 9:51am PMD:

I almost hate to ask, but I would love a John Denver song. I thiought at first this was one when I heard the guitar.

Pat: Tove Janssen. The Moomintroll are the sweetest little trolls ever.

My favorite Moomin cartoon is the one with the little uptight dog who has a terrible secret. (Spoiler alert: He only wants to be friends with kitty cats. That's his secret.)

Thu. 12/18/08 10:51am so - u - r - power=sourpower:

Thu. 12/18/08 11:17am Cecile:

Hey Trouble,
Check out Marvinsuicide.org episode 164. No bird calls but a German angst rant that has a very different take on what birds are up to (and alot of other living things). I think it's a joke, maybe. Merry Christmas.
