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.

Hi, trouble! So looking forward to that. Is the painting entitled Why the caged bird sings or somesuch?

Don't know this Pharoah (though is a reinterpretation of "Creator Has a Master Plan"), will have to take a look for it. Thanks for playing!

Good day T & all, looking forward to your guest. Just wondering if you're winging the interview or if you have set of questions ready. I hope there's a couple toughies in there and not all soft ones. Have fun.

kat330:

@tim: A quick breeze through the online link, noticed greater detail often on his flora while his fauna are always expressionist / primitive. Plants of higher intelligence?

Hello trouble & folks. just spent an unexpected four days in Prague. Had my head turned around by Alphons Muchas' set of 20 paintings 'Slav Epic'. Stunning in size & ambition.

It was a complete surprise, my wife & daughters arranged this surprise trip. I did not know where I was going until I was on the 'plane. 60 years young next Monday.
These paintings are around 6m x 8m large.

PS Mucha died on 14th July 1940. Synchronicity.

Thanks kat330

tim from champaign:

@kat: astute observation. That might be a good question for the artist of the hour. What's the significance of the distinct styles between flora and fauna?

Speaking of fauna, here's a delightful clip of foxes at play outside a skateboard park near Puistola, Finland: http://yle.fi/uutiset/pikkupedot_leikkisina_skeittipuistossa/6209671
  9:59am
Jennique:

Morning Trouble! Anticipating the John Lurie interview. Maybe you could ask him to paint portraits of your chickens?
  10:01am
Brian in UK:

Once a fox has taken your chickens, you will never see them in the same light again. Experience talking.
  10:01am
northguineahills:

The trouble w/ the job situation is that it is a startup, and they only have a dozen employees, so I have to wait until they hire a few more people until I can start. So, I've in the middle of a creating a freelance proposal, b/c I never know when aforementioned job will start. Þakka þér!

Hello trouble, las malas amistades are from Bogota, Colombia !

kat330:

Well, I hadn't intended to dredge up bad memories, the fox in the chicken house and all. Sorry, Brian! But it's nature after all. I forgave my cat for presenting me a present of a sweet, innocent bird. :)

Has anyone seen this cassette release? "Arto Lindsay / David Moss / Mark Miller*, John Lurie, Elliott Sharp, Ned Rothenberg ‎– Noise New York IV".

This Marvin Pontiac stuff is particularly great.
  10:12am
still b/p:

Some of the tales of the New York scene and scratch 'n scrape lifestyle in the late 70s & early 80s as told by Lurie and others in Blank City are pretty good. Maybe he can be steered toward a little bit o' that.
  10:17am
robyn:

knowing john lurie loves law and order makes me happy.
  10:20am
too much coffee:

crank calling Leonard Cohen. This is precious...

Titus in GA:

'When i grew up, the phone just rang.' Nice! That's the quote of the day.
  10:23am
Jennique:

John Lurie quote of the day : "It's the other way around, it's the other way around." Couldn't agree more.
  10:23am
too much coffee:

so nice to have you back in the area John. is there any chance you're going to play live (even solo) somewhere nearby again? you don't have tell the whole internet. you can just post a little flyer somewhere...

my last (and in fact, only) time seeing the Lounge Lizards was a show in Hamburg, in the Fabrik, I believe. Sep '98.
  10:37am

bought a poster, just for that show/venue, which I carefully brought back in a heavy cardboard tube... which someone then carelessly threw away, years later. I still can't forgive that person.

I once dated a woman who couldn't stand saxophone.
I 'forgot' and once put on some really mellow Anthony Braxton standards, and she freaked out on me! "You don't respect me!"
Oy vey.
  10:53am
Doug C.:

The same sort of thing is true with modern architecture and modern art re: "I don't like Jazz". Inevitably people say they like it when they see an artist's work who resonates with them but have some reason why that one is okay but the category is not.

I love "Fishing w/ John"!
  10:56am
kat330:

Sounds so much like a high school friend I had. Late to saxophone, but obsessed with learning it (lessons from local Jamey Aebersold) and equally obsessed with cold-blooded critters, catching snakes in Florida, keeping many King snakes as pets, etc.
  10:57am

the one with John and Jim Jarmusch is my very favorite of Fishing With John! So many great one-liners.

Love it when, in Fishing with John, you see a vulnerable Tom Waits, getting sea sick.

I remember seeing Fishing With John on a big screen at the Knitting Factory (or was it the Angelika)? Really enjoyed those series. Honey Badger got nothing on John Lurie.

yeah man, The State of Things--remember those big clunky foreign movie boxes from Blockbuster? seems like all the Wenders movies were trapped in those
  11:15am

but there was some fine music in the 80s. a lot of it in reaction to the all-encompassing pall of darkness that was reagan-thatcherism, I believe

Prior to my visual migraines I get a scintillating scotoma. Love that name but not the migraine.
  11:24am
Cecile:

I know in the early days of the Lounge Lizards they came under some fire for having a cheeky attitude towards jazz. Perhaps not being respectful enough, which seems silly now, but I wonder if John could speak about that if he hasn't already.
  11:24am
Andy in Iowa City:

Morning Trouble and John! Great conversation!

Also love John's reference to Des Moines and Iowa when he was speaking about creativity and making art. Preach it.

is Ran the one with the four armies of different colors battling at the end? I admit I get his films confused sometimes . . .
  11:26am
Cecile:

yep, that's the one.

Cheri, did you ever read King Lear? :D
  11:26am
northguineahills:

I loved "Ran". Super awesome fun, and yes, it's the one w/ 4 armies of different colors battling at the end.

Cecile:

Kurosawa's eyesight was reportedly starting to fail at the time, so he wanted to make something simple he could see.
  11:28am
Titus in GA:

Speaking of Kurosawa, has anyone seen Red Beard? I'm quite itching to see that one.

no shit, I heard the water in Britain was infused with estrogen from all of the birth control pills being taken and un-digested compounds therefrom being urinated into the water system; reports of large numbers of fish turning hermaphroditic. Maybe urban legend . . .
