Art Criminal Intent

From an episode titled "Art"...

(Goren and Eames are gazing at a Monet)
Eames: It's beautiful.
Goren: Yeah...Impressionists are too pretty.
Alex Eames: Right. You probably like those sweaty, naked people in the next room.
Robert Goren: Lucien Freud. As a matter of fact, I do.
Alex Eames: You can't put that stuff in your home. You can't live with it.
Robert Goren: Well, I'm not interested in living with it. I'm interested in... thinking about it.

Water Lily Pond With Weeping Willow, 1919. Claude Monet.

Girl With White Dog,, 1952. Lucien Freud.

Six Days

Four Dinners YouTube Page

I love this video almost as much as I love Four Dinners...and I had no idea he had a YouTube page. Hey...Four Dinners, I like your cabinet with stickers on it...reminds me of one of Mister Anchovy's old apartment he had a similar cabinet with stickers...Stagg has a cabinet at work with stickers too, some kind of guy thing I guess. This makes me feel like we are hanging out...I've popped a beer and a toast to blog pals!

Lara Flynn Boyle?

I watched this entire episode tonight wondering when Lara Flynn Boyle (Twin Peaks, Red Rock West) was going to show up ...the show was in it's last few minutes when I realized that WAS Lara Flynn Boyle.


I keep saying I am going to do a Thursday Thirteen with my top favourite villans of Law and Order...maybe today...

Special Mail...

In the middle of doing massive spring cleaning...I realized I might post a pic of some great gifts we got in the mail. From Red and Asterisk...the two drink coasters (and cool dvd recordings)...Stagg uses the penguins and I use the hamsters, right beside our beds. Below the coasters is a mitt that was MADE by Karen and sent...you can't really see the fabulous pink as our scanner doesn't pick up flourescent tones. But these pirate mitts rock, and I wore them a lot this freezing cold LONG winter...

Thanks so much guys we feel so lucky to have such great blog pals...and we were thinking a lot about you today when we were dusting and sorting out stuff around the joint...

Now...I must get back to shaking out floor cloths, dusting behind radiators and on top of doors...it's SPRING!

Iggy Pop- Ray of Light

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony is one of the best award shows. It's especially ncredible because often the various musicians will be itching to play and by the end of the program they all get on stage.

I would really love to spend a week at the museum going through their film archives. We are thinking of going to Cleveland to the museum in June. Check the following footage of Prince, George Harrison, Tom Petty playing My Guitar Gently Weeps. The second part of the video has Prince solo. (And last night Ben Harper gave a very sweet speech honouring Little Walter and then he joined the James Cotton Band to play some Little Walter riffs.)



Hey for Martha...here is the Leonard Cohen section of last nights ceremony:



I think this has been recorded from a handy cam on the tv which is hilarious but also why it's so foggy...but it is a great montage with some voice overs...

Congratualtions Madonna!

Courtney Love, Tina Turner and Madonna, Rolling Stone, 1997 cover of 30th anniversary featuring "Women of Rock".

Madonna will be indicted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame today...and usually the artists perform after a special introduction (Justin Timberlake is introducing her). Instead, Iggy Pop is going to perform covers of a couple of her songs...should be fun! Other inductees this year are John Mellancamp, Leonard Cohen, Dave Clark Five.

Pop who is the lead vocal of The Stooges, has been known to be Madonna's opening act at the Dublin date during her Reinvention Tour in 2004. He reportedly has agreed to perform the punked up versions of her hits as a tribute. Meanwhile, both The Stooges and Madonna are Detroit natives.

Madonna is inducted to the Hall for her 25 years of contribution to music industry. She first signed to a major deal in 1982 when she was made an artist under Sire Records. She will on April 19, release her eleventh studio album titled "Hard Candy" via Warner Bros. "The album title is a juxtaposition of tough and sweetness...kind of like I'm gonna kick your ass but it's going to make you feel good. And of course, I love candy," Madonna said of her new record.
