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.

fmu on a daily basis is best return on investment. it's value doesn't diminish based on what's going on in libya. in fact it's even more valuable when the world seems to be going south. | |

Lord Of The Manor:
Dear Trouble, The hoof and mouth sinfonia was great this year. I was hoping for another rendition of "Tainted Love." | |
|
Tue. 3/15/11 9:46am

@ Jennique aka dj love bug : i'm sorry to be the annoying control freak : but "chanson" is feminin genre in french. | |

Tue. 3/15/11 10:29am
bennett4senate:
@trouble I think Tom's rendition of that track at the Hoof n Mouth must have seeped into my subconscious... but no request - as a followup to his version would only be a letdown | |

Good morning, Trouble and fancy-pants French speakers. Haven't seen the Sinfonia set yet, but it sounds like it was a real hoolie! Perhaps this weekend. | |

Jennique - a.k.a. dj love bug:
@Brian - my favorite quote from Broken Flowers involves Fancy Pants: What are you into? It was computers.Oh, high-tech stuff More high tech than pencils, I guess Mr. Fancy Pants! Yeah, my pants are fancy. So what? | |
|
Tue. 3/15/11 10:45am

Adrian in London:
Come on Stu, get translating! I understood 'uksi'. | |
|
Tue. 3/15/11 11:32am
Adrian in London:
Or 'yksi', even. I went to Finland a couple of times years ago and enjoyed it. But the only thing I can remember from the phrase book is olen raskaana, which I'm told means 'I am a pregnant woman'. Not much good to an 18-year-old chap. | |
|
Tue. 3/15/11 11:34am
Stu : aka DJ Moomin:
I'm going to have to listen again to the archive to work through that! ( and get my kids to help...they're bi lingual, I'm....slow ) kiittos | |

Wow. What a song. Makes the Pixies song on the subject of mind loss seem small. Sadly I can relate. | |

@Stu. Sounds good. Which part of Finland do you live in? ANd Paint a Lady is such a great album. I'd never heard it and it was playing in Rough Trade West, London. I walked out with the vinyl. Record shops with great staff, remember them? | |

@Adrian I live in Turku there are great CD stores here, and there was an LP fair a week ago. I feel lucky to be a part of a second culture. Lots of great live music here. I see more here than I did in NYC ! Trouble plays so much wonderful music, tons of stuff I'm not familiar with, such a joy to fill our ears each week! cheers! | |
