Question for the hive mind (or perhaps for that portion of the hive mind who occasionally drops by here & would have special insight into this question & whom I would ask directly except I can't find her email anymore.) A co-worker wanted to know if I remembered a certain This American Life episode. I don't, but maybe one of you will. You can answer me here or at the profile address. Thanks.
Do you remember this episode, I can't seem to find it: It was about memory and a man who is an artist at the Chelsea Hotel, and he tells a story about a memory he has of him and his girlfriend who are in a field and see a horse. He breaks up with her and she dies in a fire and the rest of his life he painted horses without realizing that it was hearkening back to that moment. It is a convoluted synopsis but if you do remember please let me know.
It's a bit later than Theo's compilation, but emusic has one called The Humphrey Bogart Era with a buncha songs mostly from the early forties, plus Bogie soundbites between tracks. Most of the names will be familiar, even if you don't know their music. Pick hit, apropos of our origins: "Ill Wind" sung here by Lena Horne, but perhaps better known in these parts as the song Darla sang at Caritas so Lorne could read her ("The Trial" Angel S2).
