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.

oldie moldy:

making pancakes and taking the daughter to see santa today...
  9:20am
still b/p:

Winged monkeys are more entertaining and more easily trainable in groups, but if you want something on a sun-blocking, holy shit scale to come a'swoopin' down on your enemies at your direction, you want condors.
  9:24am
postmanpaul:

Those turkeyeagles look like the ones that used to swoop down out of the dark early-morning sky and gobble up unsuspecting, poorly or lazy school children on their way to school, in the old days.
  9:26am
Parq:

I am reminded of "Bobcat" Goldthwait on Conan, showing off the rare California condor he purchased at great expense, asking the audience to admire its wingspan and so forth. The gag was, he was in fact holding a chicken.
  9:28am
postmanpaul:

Shame this fella fucked up.
  9:29am
Nathan:

"Virgin Mary is at my door... she's just a girl who thinks that I'm the one.. but the kid is not my son" - Joseph

  9:33am
Brian in UK:

Hello trouble & listeners. Eadweard Muybridge would be proud of this vista.
PMP I was down your way the other week, went to see Richard Buckner at the Basement.

The Andean condor is the only species of new world vultures that are sexually dimorphic.
  9:35am

PKNY:

Cosign on the Donny Hathaway...found a very clean Quad LP version of "Extensions of a Man" last week, score!

  9:51am
dc pat:

  9:51am
dale:

  11:40am
listener mark:

Yacht rock was the soft rock of the late seventies and early eighties. The album covers featured sailboats and ocean waves and the sea shore. Loggins and Messina, Robert Dupree (Steal Away), Michael McDonald,...

Merry Happy Trouble and DJ Icepack
  11:53am
glenn:

get him a membership to the young republicans.
  11:54am
Cecile:

I got my 11 year old twin nephews those straws that have plastic plumber joints and whatnot. They loved them - they could build one by themselves, or make a big straw creation together.
  11:55am
Patrick:

Dj ice pack, merry Xmas! Get a membership to the folk art museum.
  11:55am
Jennique:

YAY!! DJ Icepack!! Future scientist!!
  11:55am
Cecile:

you don't need a membership, just show up to meetings.

Abraham Lincoln and Teddy Roosevelt were Republicans.
  11:55am
Patrick:

Newt/Mitt 2012!
  11:55am
Nathan:

DJ Icepack knows stuff.
  11:55am

I recommend a day at a farmer's market - pick out some treats either take out or cookable.
  11:57am
dc pat:

wait, can you post those books Icepack is reading?? Sounds like something I should force my 10 year old to read.
  11:57am

the kid is so cool!

Hey Trouble and DJ Icepack,

Come visit us in Ohio! Hope you have a happy Christmas.
  11:59am
Cecile:

kid creole!
  11:59am
Parq:

Icepack, I bet you'd dig Terry Pratchett's Discworld books. Set in a sort of medieval society, the series includes books about how that society invented newspapers, the movies and rock and roll, and there's a great thriller story about time travel.
  11:59am
dc pat:

no don't show up at meetings, stay as far away from Republicans as you can. Lincoln was a republican the same way Strom Thurmond was a democrat.
  11:59am
maja:

that's christmas, xmas and HAPPY!!
  12:00pm
Jennique:

Nothing is so fine as Christmas on Riverside Drive...
Big thanks for that and merry merry!
