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.

I saw her at her 80th bday celebrations at BAM, and she was amazing (and the guests she had!)

I always felt like the depths of Yoko's awesomeness were a profound insider secret that was revealed to me my first week of working in a used record store.

Hey Wild Neil, yes that is right- Trouble put my memory train back on the tracks about that a few posts back. That track by the Lounge Lizards was pretty great, I'd forgotten about them (too)!

Pronounced "Mark Vee", I think. Not 100% sure. Or maybe Mark 5? She does a good show either way.

"Mark Vee" is correct. I made a note of that on her last show.

The show was live with her whole electronic setup. (You can see better at this long interview/performance from WNYC's Soundcheck www.facebook.com... )

Looks like Porras is not with her in DC at Songbyrd; I appreciate what he's doing, but it's quite physical and not always in a pleasant way.
