Hi ...greetings and a better year 2021 too :) News > Drumandvoice - 4fun(k) & BlackBird available > iTunes, Qobuz, Spotify... best regards H. :)

good to hear you're still in portland! wonder how Kevin our bud from the north is doing these days? i should give him a shout. well i suppose the last.fm code is now easier to manage for them but i can't see the upside with respect to attracting new users. puzzling... have a good one...

hey there shell! it's been forever, still holding down the fort in Portland? this place has turned into a homogenized ghost town with the new ui updates and the gutting of the social aspects of the site. i want my "myspace" looking Last.fm back! :) oh well, progress. hope all goes well.

So how does a Portland girl not listen to Blind Pilot?

Hi Michelle. Can't use Spotify in Canada. Bummer. But we have universal health care so it's a trade-off. How do you like it? And what do you think of the new Muse dubstep-ish single, Madness?

Way Over Yonder in the Minor Key, Caramel, Miss Misery, ... we live oceans apart, nevertheless we adore the same songs. Music is truly universal !

HI there how are you doing? Hope all is well. And - huh? scrobbling is not working for me and I just noticed. All systems go here but no luck. rest Assured I"ve been listening ;)

Happy New Year, 'shelle! Okay, I know I'm early (even here in NL), but if I'll be late if I wait!

New Ryan Adams. New Chris Isaak. An embarrassment of riches!

WA or OR? Transition smooth? Unbelievably warm April (=summer, really!), sorry for the poor souls who expect/need a hot summer in July/Aug, cause we're headed to Vanc & Cozumel in July/Aug. Work/play is sending me to different places, but tempo is ideal. What about you?

So 'shell, how are things out on the west coast?

Welcome my new friend! Thanks for your friendship! Have a wonderful week!

Hey Shell, been a while! How goes things? And how did this jazz I see in your recent playlist sneak in there?! :)

Hey Shell! Yeah, I just can't resist Dylan's call. Still reeling from Gerry Rafferty's departure. A big belated Happy New Year to you and yours as well!

Hi , I wish you wonderful Christmas-Days and a peaceful rest of the year - with Greetings from Germany– Jürgen :-).

hey there! Now who's this Ed harcourt? must investigate

belated happy anniversary! i beat you by 2 years and a bit but i'm way behind you in plays.

Just noticed today is my 4th last.fm anniversary. Seems longer.

Hi Michelle. Thanks for accept... You've got a fine music taste and great charts. - with Greetings from Germany – Jürgen :-)

Hey Shell, summer has finally arrived, after a way wet and cool Spring. I am glad you're going to have the chance to escape L.A. and get to France. We're taking off in about a week for Kauai and had a blast in New York about a month ago. Have a great time in France ~ you come back now! lol

Hey Shell, long time no hear. Whatya up to these days? Still doing the health care gig in LA?

Yeah, good stuff, isn't it? I've concluded James Mercer can do no wrong. Are you a Josh Ritter fan? New album just released – looking forward to checking that out.

Here's a new ref to Cascadia (I'll send you a note to explain how I found it): http://www.nytimes.com/2010/02/27/world/americas/27cascadia.html

Hey there Shell - hope this finds you having a great Valentine's day and LA is treating you well!

Hm, I must've just dreamt that I sent you a reply already. Anyway, here's a bit of trivia you might already know: the son of Albert 'never-rains-in-CA' Hammond is a member of The Strokes. Meanwhile back in the Lowlands, we're freezing our asses off, and I'd be happy to send a bit of the cold weather to Vancouver where it's needed!

So is this Solvang or somewhere else in CA, or just 'plain' Europe that I see in your pic? If the latter, are you missing it? :-)

A belated Merry Christmas to you, Michelle! Hope Santa treated you well.

Have you heard the new Broken Bells song, "The High Road"? James Mercer of The Shins, very cool stuff! www.brokenbells.com

hey you! LA huh, wow good for you. score indeed with that health care editor job! i'm doing well with nothing terribly exciting to report; work, cycling, teaching kids (pre-teens) how to build over-the-top gaming computers, dabbling with photography, like that...

hey shell,.... what's the scam, what's the skinny, what's the scoop, what's the blab, what's the memo, what's the buzz.....? :)

Hi 'chelle, sounds like things are stabilising over there. "My" stations there included KROQ, two golden oldies stns (inc. KRTH), and a news stn which became really popular after quakes. Never checked out Mexican markets. Done Mulholland? Gone to any live audience TV shows? And then once LA's become too small or too (ab)normal, there's up & down the coast (to San Diego), nearby hills/mtns, Jericho T, Death V, Grand C.... And there's skiing at Big Bear (never got there myself). Here it's same old same old. Winter's setting in, Sinterklaas has arrived in NL (& this time his abode's in Schiedam, just up the road). And steep curves are fine, as long as they're not too long.... groetjes

hey, shell! thanks for stopping by hope your state side move is going well.

I'm not sure what to think — I'll have to hear it first. My hopes aren't very high though. That craggy voice doing traditional Xmas tunes? Nice to see that all the proceeds are going to charity though. What do you think? I know you have a soft spot for all things Yule.

.... hi Michelle thought you might like to know that we 'encountered' Amy last week while in London. Strange Lady! Any good music lately?

Hi there-- hope you're well. My turn now to stop by to make sure you don't forget about me. No, the usual suspects have yet to be deposed entirely but they have some new companions. I"m surprised myself at how Neko and Liam snuck up on Jon and Fiona!

things are good, thanks. welcome back to the time zone! have you checked out Monsters of Folk yet? i think you might like them....

ah, coltrane. so you're stateside?

hey Shell! Thanks for stopping by the other day and your kind words on my photos. Jeez, it's been hot here last several days we've hit records - 106 degrees in Eugene! Yikes! See you're listening to Malcolm Gladwell's Blink. Love his books including his New Yorker articles. If you like Blink have another book you might enjoy from a different author. later,...

Hey shellquoi. Hmm, just 3? Busy, humid, complex. Summer's a busy time, that's clear. Didn't expect the humidity, since other Mediterr countries are not; Adriatic Sea is just different. Complex, well there's a lot to see and learn about the region and culture; so that's positive. I'd consider going back but then in spring or fall. Those were three long words. And uh July's almost over, so is there any update re a continental move?

Hey, Shell! Welcome back to the cyberworld. Couldn't help but notice your long absence. Hope all is well. Re: Jukebox Hero, can I be ironic and earnest simultaneously? How are you enjoying Blink? I thought Outliers was very cool, though I realize I have to stop boring everyone about "10,000 hours."

Hi Michelle, nice to hear from you ;~) I am very well, thanks, et tu? We have been having some hot Summer weather around here! I hope your Summer is lots of fun!!

Hi 'chelle, everything still "on track" over there? We're en route to Croatia but presently in Nuremburg (with internet)... Wonderful walk in hills after dinner; nothing like R'dam, not bad for a stopover, wonderful actually. Vacation's begun....!

Okay, okay, I'm still impressed by the video of Glen C and Stevie W that you dug up awhile ago. So you're listening to Van M and I'm listening to Steely Dan. Is there a link? :-) Get soaked today or yesterday? Plans for the summer? cheers, Ken

Hi Michelle, nice to hear from you. I haven't listened to all of the new [artist]Depeche Mode[/artist] but I do like what I have heard, so far! Hope its a great week for you! ;~)

we have some of the same friends also i see

and i like several of yous---the chili peppers are one of my favorite bands--do you like the delta b lues?

thanks for the visit

Yeah, a lot of JB is great. Have you heard his Solo Acoustic, Vol. 1? Very nice stuff.

Hey Shell. A little something from State side...impossible to view ( http://bit.ly/ZFeMT ) without warming your heart and putting a smile on your face. :) Let'er build...

Hiya Michelle! I haven't listen to them carefully or often, but so far In-Flight Safety sounds promising. Can't argue with the old stuff when all else fails. Has spring sprung in your part of the world?
