Morning Trouble and all. Looking forward to the show!

Thu. 5/7/09 9:04am From: James oid

Morning Trouble!

Thu. 5/7/09 9:04am From: Adrian in London

Hi Trouble and everyone. Saw Marissa Nadler play last night. She was great. But no fire alarms! The venue, The Luminaire, has painted on the wall things such as SHUT UP: no-one has paid to listen to you talking to your pals. If you want to talk to your pals, go outside and talk.

Finally, sanity reigns.

Thu. 5/7/09 9:05am From: jaypee

Yay.. good morning, Trouble, fellow listeners...

Thu. 5/7/09 9:06am From: George Eliot

"There's a big foot stepping on my face" pretty much sums up my week.

Thu. 5/7/09 9:10am From: Rob

bonjour déranger! :-)

Thu. 5/7/09 9:11am From: The Man

.......And stay there Mr. Parq!

Thu. 5/7/09 9:14am From: Freddy from: West Orange Plumbing Supply

Isn't this the song from the Blue Oyster in Police Academey?

Thu. 5/7/09 9:15am From: Listener James from Westwood

It is indeed!

Thu. 5/7/09 9:16am From: listener mark

good morning trouble
good morning to the whole wonderful world wide web we weave with wires

Thu. 5/7/09 9:16am From: jaypee

Freddy, yes it is! Proof: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tTJMerul33E

Thu. 5/7/09 9:17am From: listener mark

sounds like the muppet show

Thu. 5/7/09 9:18am From: trouble

Thu. 5/7/09 9:33am From: Bill W

IN A WORLD where Trouble hates the "Voice of God"....

Thu. 5/7/09 9:34am From: fishmonkeystew

Fishing with John is AWESOME! Very chucklesome.

Thu. 5/7/09 9:36am From: jaypee

HEY HEY HEY.. Police Academy is a GREAT movie.. you take that back Trouble!!!

Thu. 5/7/09 9:36am From: Police Academy Producer

Oh. So now you are BETTER than me?!!

Thu. 5/7/09 9:36am From: still b/p

Ain't no bulletin here...but that Northern Soul selection was the kind of sound that I don't think ever could be duplicated today in flavor, style, recording characteristics and sum effect, regardless of the skills of any contemporary artists and technicians that might wanna try.

Thu. 5/7/09 9:37am From: Listener James from Westwood

Truth be told: After about the 3rd "Police Academy" sequel, "Bimbo" and its context are about the only watchable parts of the film.

Thu. 5/7/09 9:39am From: chris

Let's not pretend that any of the Police Academy movies are actually good!

Thu. 5/7/09 9:42am From: annie

i watched "evil alien conquerers" last night. wow. how campy, but reaaly stupidly funny. you'd do better to get "small" before you watch it.

Thu. 5/7/09 9:44am From: Police Academy Producer

I forgot. If it appeals to a wide audience it must be crap.

Thu. 5/7/09 9:45am From: Freddy from: West Orange Plumbing Supply

Chris, the Police Academy movies are good up until 6 and 7

Thu. 5/7/09 9:49am From: Freddy from: West Orange Plumbing Supply

I love this song, it makes me want to watch Night of the Living Dead, and Dawn of the Dead

Thu. 5/7/09 9:50am From: A Critic

Come on, only the first 17 or 18 PA movies were good

Thu. 5/7/09 9:52am From: listener mark

Yes Nick Drake!!

Thu. 5/7/09 9:54am From: listener mark

Now I have to break out the *fruit tree* 4 CD set.

Thu. 5/7/09 9:54am From: still b/p

In a world....where spoofhead passions run deep....
In a time...when loyalty is tested, and everyone must choose...
In a comment space ready to explode...two contenders arose to vie for glory and compare the size of their shticks....But only one can triumph, in a battle that...would...change...everything...
Police Academy vs. Fishin' With John: Day of Armakiddin!

Thu. 5/7/09 9:56am From: Vivian

Everyone:

Looking for movie rental suggestions, excluding Police Academy. Something besides your run of the mill. Go!

Thu. 5/7/09 9:59am From: fishmonkeystew

Little Otik, also known as Otesánek, by Jan Svankmajer. Disturbingly yummy.

Thu. 5/7/09 9:59am From: George Eliot

Vivian, anything by wim wenders. and that classic french collection "blue", "white", "red"

Thu. 5/7/09 10:01am From: listener mark

mama roux was the queen of the little red, white, and blue.

Thu. 5/7/09 10:01am From: Vivian

George, Wings of Desire ranks among my favorites. You're on the right track.

Thu. 5/7/09 10:02am From: doug from dc

Film? Two interesting obscurities from well-known directors: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0059719 and http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0080796. These aren't widely discussed, but have stuck with me.

Thu. 5/7/09 10:02am From: George Eliot

ok, now i know the direction to take. getting my list......

Thu. 5/7/09 10:02am From: seamus

sun-ra's "space is the place". a must rent

Thu. 5/7/09 10:08am From: 255

Does anyone watch that show Free Radio?

Thu. 5/7/09 10:08am From: Rob

Hi Vivian, if you havent already you might like Jean de Flourette" & "Manion of the Spring"

Thu. 5/7/09 10:10am From: Feral Cat

Lost Highway by David Lynch has a real murderer in it...Robert Blake!!! And Girls Rock! The Movie, is a new documentary about girls learning to rock at camp.

Thu. 5/7/09 10:10am From: GP

Drive-by greetings to all....busy today..

Thu. 5/7/09 10:11am From: Vivian

Great suggestions DCPAT, Rob, fishmonkeystew and George. Keep 'em coming!

Thu. 5/7/09 10:11am From: George Eliot

hhmm, vivian, most of the movies i watch are on hulu. not sure how many are in blockbuster or netflix. oh!! just saw "deeply" from 2002. and rob is right on about those two movies. i can also suggest "Dead Man" wirh johnny depp, this music is reminiscent of that

Thu. 5/7/09 10:13am From: Vivian

George, if it helps, I'm going to the local indie movie rental place, where they stock the popular and obscure.

Thu. 5/7/09 10:13am From: texas scott

hey annie,where did you get 'evil alien conquerers'?
sounds like my kind of movie...

Thu. 5/7/09 10:14am From: listener mark

Some of the clothing in "Old Navy" have these little tags which say, "Made In Vietnam." Who could've guessed back then that forty years later they'd make polo shirts to sell in US.

Thu. 5/7/09 10:14am From: trouble

the jim jarmusch movie " dead man" that neil young did the score to is a superb movie!

Thu. 5/7/09 10:15am From: dc pat

hey! I didn't say anything...but if I did, I'd say the 10th Victim. But good luck finding it...

Thu. 5/7/09 10:15am From: doug from dc

Simon of the Desert has really poor production values, but it's one of Bunuel's funniest. He ran out of money before he could finish it, and used a random on-set occurance to end it. Won't spoil it though. That line, "I want to go back to my pillar" sticks with me to this day.

Thu. 5/7/09 10:15am From: Rob

Movies: "nines" was cool, "Napoline Dynamite": funny, "Waking life" thought provoking

Thu. 5/7/09 10:15am From: George Eliot

I saw it on hulu last night. want the link?

Thu. 5/7/09 10:16am From: Faust Gertz

Here are some films I recall enjoying and haven't thought about for a ong time: 'Hol volt, hol nem volt' aka 'A Hungarian Fairy Tale', 'W.R. - Misterije organizma' aka 'WR: Mysteries of the Organism', 'Hop', and 'Chameleon Street'. Might as well give a shout of for 'Point Blank' (1967).

Thu. 5/7/09 10:16am From: GP

Listener Mark...Capitalism transcends all borders and political differences...plus its 10cents a day for sewing and stuff so you can't beat that!

Thu. 5/7/09 10:17am From: seamus

dutch 90's movie, "antonia's line" was a very good movie

Thu. 5/7/09 10:18am From: dc pat

netflix has 10th Victim - nutty Italian 60's crap with Marcello Mostrianni and Ursela Andres

Thu. 5/7/09 10:18am From: GP

Rib, both of my young kids LOVE Napoleon Dynamite. They have watched it probably 50 times and can pretty much quote the whole movie. It is one of the few semi-adult movies that I can let them watch.

Thu. 5/7/09 10:18am From: Jamesie

Do you like Jaap Blonk? here is plug for my show this Saturday at 15:00 EST.... (Res FM)

Thu. 5/7/09 10:18am From: George Eliot

http://www.hulu.com/watch/71314/the-snow-walker


this was amazing

Thu. 5/7/09 10:19am From: vivian

My eyesight is horrible, I don't know if I can watch a movie on a computer monitor, but thank you George. I have to put Dead Man on my list.

Thu. 5/7/09 10:19am From: ta da

i remember hungarian fairytale - wonderful movie

Thu. 5/7/09 10:19am From: Georgie Peorgie

http://www.hulu.com/watch/71338/evil-alien-conquerors

too damn not-funny, it was funny

Thu. 5/7/09 10:20am From: George Eliot

you might be able to rent them. if they're on hulu, they mu7st be in netflix or some such thing..

Thu. 5/7/09 10:22am From: seamus

"trust" by hal hartley is one of my fav's

Thu. 5/7/09 10:22am From: fishmonkeystew

How to Draw a Bunny is a pretty good doc about artist Ray Johnson.

Thu. 5/7/09 10:22am From: Ike

Speaking of SE Asia, check out John Boorman's "Beyond Rangoon" (1995) with P. Arquette and Frances McDormand.

Thu. 5/7/09 10:22am From: Freddy from: West Orange Plumbing Supply

What do you guys think theTop 5 Worst Movies ever made are?

Thu. 5/7/09 10:22am From: dale

Welsh looks like it should be found on an alien sphere!

Thu. 5/7/09 10:24am From: 55ffrr

If you don't mind subtitles, check out a Kieslowski film sometime. I recommend any from his 'Decalogue' or 'Red" from the 3 color trilogy. Also, 'Happy-Go-Lucky' is scary-fun.

Thu. 5/7/09 10:25am From: Parq

Viv, if your nabe has an indy rental place that stocks the obscure and off-off-Hollywood, you should get to work having it landmarked. When Kim's went under, it signaled the end of an era, if not an eon.

Thu. 5/7/09 10:25am From: Cecile

If you read the Mushroom Planet books, the Welsh originally came from there. What a great series.

Thu. 5/7/09 10:25am From: texas scott

thanks,everyone.i forgot about hulu.

yippee! my odd day just got weirder.

Thu. 5/7/09 10:26am From: seamus

"i was a teenage zombie" was one of the worst movies i can think of

Thu. 5/7/09 10:26am From: Feral Cat

I'll fly away oh glory....love Allison's voice in the morning...yeah!!

Thu. 5/7/09 10:26am From: George Eliot

i love hulu. and they get indy shorts too.

Thu. 5/7/09 10:27am From: JCityJensen

Great Set this morn!

Thu. 5/7/09 10:27am From: listener mark

Alison Kramer and Gillian Welch?

Thu. 5/7/09 10:27am From: George Eliot

walking the pup be right back.

Thu. 5/7/09 10:28am From: ta da

worst movie - anything with batman in it

Thu. 5/7/09 10:28am From: GP

Allison Krauss...beautiful..her voice ain't too bad either!

Thu. 5/7/09 10:28am From: JCityJensen

have you seen this 'great' movie : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=933FExsfU3c

Thu. 5/7/09 10:28am From: Thu. 5/7/09

that IS odd.

Thu. 5/7/09 10:29am From: listener mark

DJ Trouble you are firing on all eight cylinders this morning. (That's good.)

Thu. 5/7/09 10:29am From: cecile

Classy movies I like:
Stranger than Ficition
Ran
Dersu Uzala
The Fall
The Iron Giant
The Third Man
Annie Hall
Wall-E
American Splendor

Thu. 5/7/09 10:29am From: Freddy from: West Orange Plumbing Supply

Touble, can you play me some Dan Tyminski

Thu. 5/7/09 10:31am From: Ike

I second that, 55ffrr. Kieslowski's brilliant "The Double Life of Veronique" warped, lit up, and broadened my young mind at the old Key Cinema in D.C.

And I agree with many of Cecile's faves, esp. "Iron Giant."

Thu. 5/7/09 10:31am From: JCityJensen

have you seen the time of the wolf?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BXB9sCa3VGw

Thu. 5/7/09 10:31am From: Ike

GP, the reason you can let your kids can watch "Napoleon Dynamite" is because it's a Mormon movie. The Mormons are using fam.-friendly movies to secretly brainwash your kids with religious propaganda hidden deeply within Jared Hess's snark. Although they're not as powerful as Disney... yet. ;)

Thu. 5/7/09 10:32am From: Cecile

Less classy movies I still adore:

Bridget Jones' Diary
Music and Lyrics
Old School
Wedding Crashers
Airplane
Talladega Nights
Blades of Glory
Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy
Clueless
Wayne's World
The Transporter
House of Flying Daggers.

Thu. 5/7/09 10:32am From: dc pat

I also like Naked by Mike Leigh

Thu. 5/7/09 10:33am From: cecile

I liked the dance at the end.
That was shockingly un-Mormon in its hip gyrations.
For me, it had a feel of where I grew up. Slow, static and weird.

Thu. 5/7/09 10:34am From: dc pat

worst movie: Battlefield Earth which I watched last night because I was sick.

Thu. 5/7/09 10:34am From: GP

LOL Ike---I'm watching out for them!!

Cecile has the other kids favorites movies on her list: Iron Giant ,and Wall_E..they also love "My Neighbor Totoro", etc.

Thu. 5/7/09 10:34am From: Cecile

that probably made you sick in and of itself.

Thu. 5/7/09 10:35am From: GP

Don't forget the "Toxic Avenger", but NOT a kids movie!

Thu. 5/7/09 10:36am From: ta da

anyone know what us war is considered the forgotten war?

Thu. 5/7/09 10:36am From: cecile

I'm a big kid. I love Howl's Moving Castle and Kiki's Delivery Service.

Also, I really liked Coraline recently and I'm forgetting something...

Thu. 5/7/09 10:36am From: Parq

. . .in his [W's] *successful* attempt. And, as was pointed out often, the press that led the charge against the war machine in the 60s was Bushie's biggest cheerleader in recent years.

Thu. 5/7/09 10:37am From: Cecile

And don't forget schlock classics like Bachelor Party and Wayne's World, and Valley Girl

Thu. 5/7/09 10:37am From: Parq

Five movies that I hated, despite the huge number of people who love them

1. Harold & Maude
2. The Field
3. Sandlot
4. Chocolat
5. Vicki Christina Barcelona

Thu. 5/7/09 10:39am From: chris

Sorry, I had to run an errand. None of the Police Academy movies are very good, sorry :)

Thu. 5/7/09 10:40am From: cecile

Oh, hai, Trouble, I saw Flight of the Conchords Sunday night.
SO AMAZING.
AMAZING.
You have to google, "Jemaine gold pants" Just saying.

I liked the Sandlot. I didn't see the rest. I hated Crouching Tiger, Hidden
Dragon. They were all dicks and the kung fu was not all that.

The Police Academy movies are kind of lousy, but I still laugh at them in spots.

Thu. 5/7/09 10:40am From: Tom Lyle

Trouble's show always improves my crappy mood. Thank you.

Thu. 5/7/09 10:40am From: dc pat

A movie I hate despite rave reviews: Breaking the Waves, fekkin dreadful.

Thu. 5/7/09 10:40am From: GP

"This is Spinal Tap".....no?

I got to see them live this past weekend on their 25th
( good gawd?) reunion tour..very funny and actually good musicians.

Thu. 5/7/09 10:41am From: Feral Cat

Harold & Maude! Stranger Than Fiction! Wall-E!!! Rosemary's Baby! Pecker! Grizzly Man! Happiness!!! Hysterical Psycho (Tribecca Film Fest '09)! Adaptation! Sordid Lives!!!!

Thu. 5/7/09 10:42am From: chris

this is beautiful

Thu. 5/7/09 10:42am From: Cecile

It looks terrible, what I've seen from plot descriptions.

The Prestige was also terrible.

Thu. 5/7/09 10:42am From: doug from dc

Eyeless in Gaza is an old fave. "Under the Leaves..." especially.

Thu. 5/7/09 10:42am From: cecile

spinal tap is amazing.
OH, and BEST IN SHOW!

Thu. 5/7/09 10:43am From: chris

One of my fav Fishing wirth John moments: Dennis Hopper continually popping sugar pills in the Southeast while JOhn continues to not catch fish

Thu. 5/7/09 10:43am From: George Eliot

y tu mama tambien. wonderful flick.

Thu. 5/7/09 10:43am From: dc pat

I'm also a big fan of just about anything by Kurosawa

Thu. 5/7/09 10:44am From: texas scott

'waiting for guffman' is the best movie...EVER!!!

Thu. 5/7/09 10:44am From: trouble

hey tom tom lyle! thanks for the good words...

Thu. 5/7/09 10:44am From: dc pat

I like when Tom Waits, in his biker boots and shorts, gets sea sick. The Fishing with John is one of my fave songs EVER!

Thu. 5/7/09 10:45am From: George Eliot

anything with dennis hopper, blue velvet and "carried away"......oooh, waiting for guffman .. a hoot!

Thu. 5/7/09 10:45am From: Cecile

Oh, City of God.
And The Dog (or Bombon El Perro alternate title)
Texas Scott, I would say that about Best in SHow, although Guffman is a close second.

Thu. 5/7/09 10:45am From: sugarwolf

Valley Girl is probably the last good thing Nicholas Cage has been in!

Thu. 5/7/09 10:46am From: chris

2 of my favs:
House of Flying Daggers
Rushmore

Thu. 5/7/09 10:46am From: sugarwolf

my DVD player was not working, but I think I fixed it... for now.

Thu. 5/7/09 10:46am From: chris

and the scene in Kung Fu Hustle with the dulcimer-like weapon

Thu. 5/7/09 10:48am From: GP

"The Replacement Killers"...Mira Sorvino lokks nice in this one.

Thu. 5/7/09 10:48am From: doug from dc

Trouble, speaking of Joan of Arc, the odd coincidence is that while I was surfing around Wikipedia early this am before your show, I ran into this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dihya. A North African version - never heard of her before.

Thu. 5/7/09 10:48am From: cecile

Chris, both are awesome.
And Daggers has the action, the sexiness and the emotion that Crouching Tiger lacked.

Sugarwolf - you know it. You know it!

Kung Fu Hustle is also awesome. As are Drunken Master 1 and 2

Thu. 5/7/09 10:48am From: Sugarwolfs DVD player

Stop wailin on me bro!

Thu. 5/7/09 10:49am From: George Eliot

"before the rain". serbian and intense..

Thu. 5/7/09 10:50am From: dc pat

Kiss Me Deadly is in the top 10 for me. WEIRD.

Thu. 5/7/09 10:50am From: Cecile

Thu. 5/7/09 10:51am From: GP

Thu. 5/7/09 10:51am From: George Eliot

cecile, good to see you up and around..

Thu. 5/7/09 10:51am From: sugarwolf

I saw five minutes of the NC version of The Wicker Man. BLEH. I love the orginal tho, and bought a 2nd copy on DVD, just to get the extended cut.

Thu. 5/7/09 10:51am From: jaypee

Oooooo.. I love Drunken Master 1 and 2!!! I've been itching to rent Kung Fu Hustle. Cecile's endorsement sealed the deal..

Thu. 5/7/09 10:52am From: George Eliot

oh, a silly little film called "a dog's breakfast" with the cast from stargate

Thu. 5/7/09 10:52am From: cecile

Yeah, a little coffee, peanut butter sammich, Percoset, and I'm doing better.

Thu. 5/7/09 10:53am From: Cecile

one false move is a great, great movie
and I liked out of time as well.

Thu. 5/7/09 10:54am From: George Eliot

I think Nic Gage did a good job in both National Treasure moives

Thu. 5/7/09 10:58am From: stu

Trouble gives us Joan of Arc and Vietnam to chew on and eveyone talks about obscre movie trivia !

Thu. 5/7/09 10:59am From: GP

This sounds like Jim Morrisons and Jandeks love child...never heard this before. Trouble, please explain during break. Thanks

Thu. 5/7/09 10:59am From: George Eliot

ghost dog was amazing... "long life, happiness and prosperityy" with sandra oh..

Thu. 5/7/09 10:59am From: Orson Welles

Gee, I even died and I'm still ignored.

Thu. 5/7/09 11:00am From: cecile

You can chew on it, stu.
I had lady-problem surgery yesterday, so I'm not so much on heavy things yesterday.

Thu. 5/7/09 11:00am From: Cecile

Thu. 5/7/09 11:02am From: dc pat

that silent movie about Joan of Arc is pretty great. Don't know if that was mentioned above...not sure which one, Passion of Joan of Arc?

Stu: who's talking obscure? We're just scraping the surface.

Thu. 5/7/09 11:04am From: George Eliot

vivian, you getting all these down?

re: joan of arc: she's my idol and hero since i was 8 or 9. i have hard time watching any movie about her. and not to mention lenny's song. do you all know she was pretty short, and not too attractive? there is an amazing bronze of her at the hirshorn in wash dc

I can find fault with everything, but when we saw Synecdoche, NY, a few months ago, the degree of indignation and hostility stirred in my girlfriend at it's perceived awfulness was somethin' to behold.

Got to see the painting "Joan of Arc" by Jules Bastien-Lepage up close. It is insanely large, like 8 feet tall. Joan is larger than life and I don't remember the term, but it describes the feeling you get when looking at great art or hearing great music..that woozy, lightheadeness..well I had it in spades...remarkable painting...HIGHLY emotional.

Thu. 5/7/09 11:09am From: Synecdoche

Decline, failure, and death depress people, unless they are openminded about painful things... Duh...

trouble, what do you know about this allegation that jeanne was not burned at the stake?

Thu. 5/7/09 11:20am From: trouble

i don't know about that george elliot. But she is the patron saint of france, had to do a little to get that title...

Thu. 5/7/09 11:21am From: George Eliot

i ran across a couple of websites in google that suggest that. the debunkers are at it again.. although, the story of her heart being left behind i think is a romantic idea.

Thu. 5/7/09 11:21am From: dc pat

If you all are interested in these religion inspired revolutionary movements, read Pursuit of the Millennium, Norman Cohn. There were all kinda nutty visionaries in the Middle Ages

Thu. 5/7/09 11:23am From: dc pat

and when I say nutty, I mean totally freakin nuts! Not like Joan...

Thu. 5/7/09 11:24am From: George Eliot

pat, it looks as if the hirshorn no longer has the statue? total bummer; wonder where it went. it was in the sculpture garden, off to the back left part of the gallery

Thu. 5/7/09 11:25am From: dc pat

Hmm, not sure I remember it--I know I've seen a Joan statue somewhere, do you know the sculptor?

Thu. 5/7/09 11:28am From: GP

For all of you locals That Joan d'arc painting I was talking about earlier should be at the MET if they have not loaned it again.

Thu. 5/7/09 11:28am From: George Eliot

no, pat.. i just called them and the lady had no idea what i was talking about... calling information..

Thu. 5/7/09 11:30am From: dc pat

DAMMIT George! Now I want to see it!!

Thu. 5/7/09 11:31am From: Parq

Re 10:59, Orson, I'm pretty sure someone mentioned The Third Man. That said, it's your own fault that all that's remembered by anyone still kicking nowadays is that stupid series of wine commercials.

Thu. 5/7/09 11:32am From: trouble

are you talking about the Ingres painting?

Thu. 5/7/09 11:33am From: Adrian in London

(Comes back in from shopping) I saw Nick cave and Dirty Three play amlive soundtrack to Dreyer's Joan of Arc. Maria Falconetti, fantastic

Thu. 5/7/09 11:35am From: GP

Trouble,
The one by Jules Bastien-Lepage. The really big, life size one where she is standing outside of a cottage in the woods and kind of looking up and off to the left of the canvas..

Thu. 5/7/09 11:35am From: George Eliot

i love that painting....

Thu. 5/7/09 11:36am From: GP

Parq, that was Carol Reed who directed, even though I, of course, directed my own scenes. Hey the wine paid some bills; I made Touch of Evil dammit!

Thu. 5/7/09 11:39am From: George Eliot

hirshhorn seems to have put it away in storage, no one knows what i'm talking about... i'm even talking with "information"

Hi Trubble,

here is a link to a recording I made of a thunderstorm and a couple mockingbirds sounding off if you are interested: http://web.mac.com/crenna2/iWeb/Site/Soundscapes_files/FoundSymphony4.m4a

ahhh man trouble - this Phyllis Dillon is AWESOME!

Thu. 5/7/09 11:45am From: Parq

Library science is way-cool. If I had it to do over again, I might have chosen that path myself. Best good luck to your spouse, Miss T.

PS - that reggae version of "Confessions" was great.

Thu. 5/7/09 11:47am From: slight delay before it appears

According to U.S. News & World Report, library and information science ranks as one of the "Best Careers of 2008."The median annual salary for 2007 is reported as $51,400 USD in the United States,with additional salary breakdowns available by metropolitan area, with San Francisco coming in the highest with an average salary of $64,400 and Philadelphia the lowest at $48,200. This is up from the median salaries in 2006 as $49,060 reported by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. The increase can basically be attributed to keeping pace with inflation. A $49,060 salary in 2006 was adjusted to $50,457.33,and while data is not yet posted for 2008, adding the same rate of inflationary increase for 2008 (1.028%) one could project an inflationary salary adjustment as $51,894.46 for the 2008 fiscal year.[6] In December of 2007, the BLS projected growth for the field at "4 percent between 2006 and 2016", which is "slower than the average for all occupations", because, its authors assert, "As electronic resources become more common and patrons and support staff become more familiar with their use, fewer librarians are needed to maintain and assist users with these resources."

hey thanks Scott. It seems like most people hate MOckingbirds but I think they are neat!

Hi Trouble! Will from Pawtucket here. Gee whiz this band Death sounds stunningly like the 1970s Canadian band of no repute, THUNDERMUG!!

Thu. 5/7/09 11:54am From: dc pat

sorry George, I'll keep an eye out for it.

Mockingbirds are ok with me but I wish they'd shut up when I'm trying to sleep...them and robins

Thu. 5/7/09 11:54am From: chris

Scott, do you live in TExas? You must have some amazing birds down there. I should mention that I added a 2nd Mockingbird recording a few minutes in to that piece I linked

does anyone know here to get DEATH on cd

Thu. 5/7/09 12:01pm From: dc pat

not to rain on anyone's parade but ol' Joan displayed some pretty classic schizophrenic tendencies--voices in the head develops in the teenage years of a schizophrenic and are believed to be a misinterpretation of the patients own thoughts. Crazy or Saint...you decide...

Hi!
When will this awesome playlist be available to download?

Sat. 5/9/09 9:12pm From: ben

thanks for inspiring me to go and get the dead man soundtrack!

but I'm really confused -

why on some of the tracks, like the round stones beneath track, is there the sound of a car in the back along with doors being opened and closed? nothing like that in the movie, as cars were not around yet.
