Sandalwood, it is — served on the supple tendrils of a temperate midsummer's breeze.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:10pm Webhamster Henry:

I have the smudge.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:10pm Uncle Michael:

This is the last thing I expected.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:11pm Charlie:

ßrian -- yes
Hi Henry and Uncle Michael :)
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:15pm schmutz:

One of my very favorite films! I've seen it live with piano accompaniment but the full orchestra must be unreal.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:19pm Charlie:

hi schmutz:
I haven't heard this piece ("Voices of Light" by Richard Einhorn), with images or the film of the Passion of Joan of Arc, but it sounds interesting, with voices by Anonymous 4, a vocal group that does a lot of medieval music.
  12:19pm Listening Out There:

Hey. I like the playlist image. I got to go to the San Francisco Silent Film festival a few weeks back. Amazing event...
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:19pm Charlie:

Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:21pm Uncle Michael:

This is kind of a cool song.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:22pm Webhamster Henry:

I might have seen Tom Paxton sing this - I'm not sure!
Avatar 12:23pm βrian:

Porter Wagoner isn't a stage name. I always assumed it was.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:23pm Webhamster Henry:

The cool thing about the Criterion release of Passion of Joan is that it's from a copy found in a closet of a Norwegian Nursing Home or something.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:24pm JP from KC:

Howdy, folks! That Voices of Light thing looks really cool. Nice image, too... That look you get when the acid finally kicks in.
Avatar 12:25pm βrian:

I'm feeling my bunny kick.

Hi Charlie! I'm only here for 15 minutes before I have to go do work stuff away from my desk, but at least I get 15 minutes with your show!
Avatar 12:46pm geezerette:

Hey JP,how's KC?

@Listening Well, it wasn't in MY closet, even though I looked!

Spinal Tap Classical Tribute?! Most Excellent!!
Avatar 12:50pm Perri:

Hi Charlie! Nice--I looooove Edmund Welles!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:52pm Charlie:

Hi Perri -- glad you caught that one!
Avatar 12:53pm geezerette:

Fun fact, Antonine Artaud plays a Monk in Joan of Arc.
(...and no, a Monk is not a musical instrument, unless he's singing...then maybe.)
Avatar 12:55pm Carmichael:

Kronos Quartet does a nice version of Purple Haze, Charlie ... (wink wink, nudge nudge ...)
Avatar 12:56pm geezerette:

@JP: It's hot & humid! And the woods are burning! So, y'know, fine. :)
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:59pm Wendy del Formaggio:

This awesome cover of Iron Man is making it hard for me to shut my computer down and go to my next appointment. Well, we'll always have the archives! Bye, Charlie! Thanks for sharing your 15 minutes of fame with me. :-)
See you soon...on the radio.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:59pm Charlie:

on the topic of strings ... the northern soul 45, on RCA - 'Stick to Me' by Robert Walker and the Soul Strings is a good one!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:10pm JP from KC:

Damn. I had to step out of the office and missed the Strokes covers. I'll have to catch up in the archives.
Avatar 1:28pm annie:

i love that there is music in my life..

thanks, Ducky!
Avatar 1:59pm βrian:

"Boogarin" sounds like a faun or some Irish woodland hellion. But apparently, it refers to a jasmine flower.
Avatar 2:01pm Mayuko:

Thank you, Charlie!
  2:02pm Listening Out There:

ByeThanks!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:03pm Charlie:

ßrian -- thanks for that clarification. Now I want pronunciation!
