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.

Tue. 11/22/11 9:10am
Brian in UK:
trouble I'm guessing this picture is early Matisse, if that is who painted it. glenn ever tried galettes? Made with buckwheat flour. Lawd how long did it take to get to food. | |
|
Tue. 11/22/11 9:12am
glenn:
hmmm. i make galette with puff pastry, but i'm sure there are many different versions. | |

bonjour jonathen. YEs brian in the uk that is matisse, marguerite wearing a hat. i love this painting, but for this week i felt like it had an old relatives vibe, what with thanksgiving and all on the horizon. And i just thought of making buckwheat crepes yesterday, in fact., a gluten free version | |

vegan black metal chef rules. I just finished up some TDay "leftovers" (stuff that wouldn't fit into the fake turkey, tofu, seitan....really good this year.... | |

Brian in UK:
The picture does have a fusty feel about the dress. Looks like the hands were an afterthought. | |
|
Tue. 11/22/11 9:22am
still b/p:
Buckwheat ployes are good but you need to eat 125 of them for a good substantial breakfast. | |
|
Tue. 11/22/11 9:23am
Snortley:
I thought the major food groups were sugar, salt, chewing gum, and cigarettes. | |
|
Tue. 11/22/11 9:24am
glenn:
wouldn't chewing gum be considered sugar? | |
|
Tue. 11/22/11 9:25am
fred von helsing:
Salt, sugar, grease, carbohydrates, and alcohol | |
|

Parq:
Not to be off-topic, but fire-breathing first set, Miss Trouble. | |
|
Tue. 11/22/11 9:28am
trouble:
the major food groups are cakes, cookies, and ice cream although in my house they are probably more like chocolate, kale, brown rice and spanish wine | |
|
Tue. 11/22/11 9:29am
trouble:
parq, kind words are never off topic: thanks! | |
|
Tue. 11/22/11 9:32am

We elves try to stick to the four main food groups: candy, candy canes, candy corns and syrup. | |

Sam:
I saw this great Jean-Paul Belmondo movie called "Le Solitaire". The villain is this guy named Schneider, prounounced Shneh-dare, who's this chubby nerdy looking guy with big puffy hair, but he's a heartless killer. Hilarious. | |
|
Tue. 11/22/11 9:44am
Patrick:
Still b/p at lest now vegetables (pizza) make up the majority of your diet! Keep up the good work! | |
|
Tue. 11/22/11 9:45am

big puffy hair will do that to you. | |

Magda:
There was a documentary about graffiti, I believe it was called Bomb It. The most fascinating was graffiti from Spain. You can tell they adopted a modern art style. You can see cultural influences in some of these pieces and how the line between street art and art in the contemporary sense bleeds together. | |

hey patrick and lovely emily! thank you, but we are ri bound. dj icepack turns 11 tomorrow! aaagh. have a nice couple of days of rest... | |
|
Tue. 11/22/11 9:48am

I also think someone should pay an artists with room and board and supplies to cover up ugly graffiti throughout the metro area. | |

ah, Robert Wyatt, Thank you so much Trouble. | |

Brian in UK:
Has the word been invented yet for women/men who put on far more perfume/aftershave than is really necessary causing a gagging/nausea amongst their fellows. | |
|
Tue. 11/22/11 9:52am
Magda:
Skunks. | |
|
Tue. 11/22/11 9:52am
erella!:
I live in toronto. We have a horrible dreadful guy as the mayor. There is a lot of very funny graffiti with his face. Really close to my house, there is a huge portrait of ROB Ford. At Halloween, the portrait became a Zombie, which was funny - for a time. Now, day after day to see this big scary face vomiting blood is not a pleasant addition to my day. I want the image to be altered again but don't know how to reach the artist. | |

Tue. 11/22/11 9:52am

Yes, it was a great movie. "Où est Schneider!!" | |

Morning Trouble and family. This painting has a musty look to it. Like your Aunt Ida who usually smells like wet down feathers. | |

thank you trouble. | |

Patrick -- Don't know if you caught it before you emigrated, but Portland has a new slice in town the last couple of years: Otto's, and, yea, it is good, and in two locations downtown shall ye find it, both of them just steps away from where one of those other food groups is enjoyed handily on Fridays and Saturdays, so the map overlays the official diet diagram nice 'n healthy like. | |

I love you Trouble but that was the worst sounding encoding of an mp3 I've heard in a while. | |

Brian in UK:
Guess aroma propagation is a common problem in the first/second world. Made pizza last night (00 flour) I put some shredded duck leftover from previous day. It was delicious. | |
|
Tue. 11/22/11 10:03am
trouble:
really ? george i am so sorry. i played it off you tube, as a request and it sounded fine on the cue but that is not a good judge i guess. that is why i hate to play music off other sites...ooops | |

Well I wish they would turn lemons into lemonade and use overly scented people for crowd control. | |

Happy Birthday dj icepack. Yikes,. Congrats on the second of many double digit birth dates. I have been obsessed with this age related quote for the last couple days. I think you might appreciate it. "A Human lifetime is less than 1,000 months long. For only 1/3 of those 1,000 months will you have time for serious thinking, serious loving and serious acting – that gives you only 300 months,” said Prof. Grayling | |

You know more at 15 intuitively than the rest of the world. But what can you do with it? | |

sound quality was ok to my ears ..but I'm not a fan of the track | |

Next time I will send tracks for requests I make. It sounded find on my end. | |

OH - and happy eleventieth birthday to dj icepack! Hope you made it to the silverball museum. | |

No need to apologize. I just feel a need to call out that sort of thing. Best Wishes. | |

brian in the uk, i teach 15 year olds, i find that terrifically hard to beleive. i am more intuitive now than when i was a teen. then i acted out of built in ruts handed down to me by others , now i act alone, but conciously part of a group, and more confidently | |

spooky, my math question was 111 + 1!! All those 1s! | |
|
Tue. 11/22/11 10:25am
Parq:
RIP Moogy, indeed. My own favorite of his non-Utopia work will always be Bette Midler's "Songs for the New Depression" album, a drastically underrated style salad that included a duet with Bob Dylan on the latter's "Buckets of Rain", with Moggy playing honky-tonk piano. | |

Brian in UK:
trouble I debated about using intuitive, probably more personal than general. The intuitive falls in with one of Jungs four personality types with which I can identify. Do we grow into intuition or is it there from the begining? The point I was trying to make was the way that it is possible to see/absorb the world at such a young age without bias. Anyway lets just enjoy 11. | |
|
Tue. 11/22/11 10:49am
trouble:
brian in the uk, i see bias as being a constant in any circumstance. maturity is being able to realize the bias and act around it | |
|
Tue. 11/22/11 10:58am

trouble something on the lines of Philip Larkins' 'your parents, they f... you up'? This is a harsh view I appreciate and not necessarily that of the writer. | |

I agree, we have twin daughters they have learned for nine months longer. On first appearance there is no link of twins or even sisters. We did however try to be neutral by not favouring one or other. | |

Great track. Love arthur russells version aswell! GO TROUBLE!!! | |

Tue. 11/22/11 11:21am

twins fascinate me! it's like they have an added sense that we don't, if i was a psycologist i would study twins! and i am not agreeing with philp larkin, i'm hoping the misery is lightened with time not intensified... | |
