A viking ship appears on the horizon, a likeness of Alice Coltrane carved into its bow. Rare birds flock together to sing Francoise Hardy as soul hits. A sunset of blips and bleeps fills the air.

@RevRab: out and about since last comment. Sure, Buddhist meditator, but Ganesha and Kali both there as well. Tibetan Buddhism incorporates animist elements, and, well, Hinduism has been around for ~4,000 years, so good chance some influence there, as well. Might just be pastiche, you know?

@Jennique I worked with someone who was a huge Cure fan and met Smith backstage at some festival. Smith was in full 'Robert Smith' regalia; big hair, slash of lipstick, baggy black clothes, and my colleague was so starstruck the only thing he could find to say was: "Are you Robert Smith?"!!

Ah, it was COLD milk in hot drinks the coffee place refused to serve, my mistake. barn.bigcartel.com... It was a pretty friendly place, mind; it just took coffee VERY seriously.

@Polyus, I got outvoted years ago on listening to FMU in my workplace. From then on it was local Top 40 radio and the same fucking Ace of Base tune 6 times in 8 hours. Headphones at subsequent workplaces, and freelancing from home now, have kept me out of jail.

@Adrian - haha! I would have been in the same state, I think. Did lots of lonely girl drawings of him. I am sure if I met him he would have rolled his eyes and walked away.

@james - earbuds here as well. The problem today is that having to put out other peoples' brush fires is causing me to miss the tunes.
