Talks it up pretty good.

While writing "Sailing to Nowhere," Mercer says the image in his mind was the docking of a ship returning from a disastrous journey in the 1340s. It's brought back the plague to Europe and, as Mercer puts it, "apple-sized goiters on their body. It was the beginning of — I guess — half of the population of Europe."

Sounds nifty I'll have to check that out.
So I did.I tried really really hard but still and at the end I thought this is just dross.Where's the narrative to this? where's the tunes? Where is the innovation?

It may seem a conundrum but it really isn't.I can love all BEATLE music and still retain an absolute preference for one era over another.For me it's the Early BEATLES.They got me excited.

I haven't laughed out loud so much in years!!

Occasionally I am asked to re-mix music.Usually what happens is that I tear apart & start again often adding elements that were not present at the outset.So I've begun to describe myself as an interpreter rather than a re-mixer.I'm quite sure that this term is going to catch on, so I'd like you all to bear witness to where you heard the term first and from whom.

Thank-you.

Many's the time I've attempted to drag an image into the message/body field.How d'yall do it?

Usually wearing a Che Guevara T-shirt,might be from Glasgow (I'm Scottish), Has an expert opinion on absolutely everything and yet is oblivious to the fact that he is wearing a Che Guevara T-shirt.What do you do?

My Result.
You are an Eames lounge chair.

You maintain an air of sophistication,but you pay for it by being slightly out of touch with your own feelings.You manage,for example,to be nostalgic about an era during which you were not even alive.you favor skinny ties and fedoras,smoking indoors and three-martini lunches,even if you don't have a job.

SPOOKY!

I just caught about an hour of this while flicking channels and boy was I glad I stopped.I'd forgotten how sensuous and sexy Jenny Agutter was.It's not like she was ever a great beauty but there's just something about her that flies my flag.Phew!

I've just heard this news and was quite taken aback by it.

Influential Montreal-based singer Lhasa de Sela has died of breast cancer. She was 37.

Lhasa de Sela won a Juno Award for Best Global Artist in 1998.Lhasa de Sela won a Juno Award for Best Global Artist in 1998. (CBC)The Mexican-American singer-songwriter died in her home late Friday, after a 21-month battle with breast cancer.

Known professionally as Lhasa, she marked the world music scene with her dreamy and ethereal songs, written and recorded in Spanish, French and English.

Her first album, La Llorona (the crying woman, in Spanish) was released in 1997 to critical acclaim, earning Lhasa a Quebec Félix Award that same year and a Juno Award for Best Global Artist in 1998.

After touring for two years, Lhasa settled in the south of France to write songs for her second album, The Living Road, recorded in French, English and Spanish. The Times of London recently named her sophomore work as one of the 10 best world albums of the decade.

Her ultimate album, called Lhasa, a collection of English songs recorded live, was launched at Montreal's Corona Theatre last year. Lhasa cancelled her 2009 tour because of her illness.
'Riveting to watch'

CBC music producer Frank Opolko describes her songs as deep, reflective and playful. On stage, she captivated.

"She was absolutely riveting to watch," said Opolko, who worked with Lhasa in 2004 for a Routes Montreal production. "She has this ethereal quality that is very rare, this confidence and calm."

Born to an American mother and a Mexican father in Big Indian, upstate New York, Lhasa grew up on the road, travelling in a converted school bus with her nomadic family.

She eventually followed her sisters to Montreal, where she settled at 19.

She developed her music by playing the bar scene before she released La Llorona.

She is survived by her partner Ryan, her parents and stepmother, and nine brothers and sisters, 16 nieces and nephews, and her cat Isaan, according to her website.

"Her family and close friends were able to mourn peacefully during the last two days, and greatly appreciated this meaningful period of quiet intimacy," wrote David-Etienne Savoie, Lhasa's manager, in a statement on the website.

"Funeral and services will be held privately," Savoie said. "It has snowed more than 40 hours in Montreal since Lhasa's departure."
