General Foolishness, One Thousand Words
Or at least my fellow passengers on the Lorelei, the steamboat that figures in Mark Siegel’s outstanding web comic, Sailor Twain.
I mean, just look at this. Here’s the first page.
Staging in a cabin, and genuinely Wellesian lighting and framing…
A legend brought to life…
…And the Lorelei, on the Hudson.
Now imagine page after page after page of this, complete with a compelling story of intrigue, romance, heartbreak … and mermaids.
Anyway, here. These are M4A format.
Lorelei, Ella Fitzgerald
Bonus tracks!
Stormy Weather, Ella Fitzgerald
Lorelei, Tom Tom Club (different song)
Suboceana, also Tom Tom Club
I got into Tom Tom Club mostly because Chris Frantz and Tina Weymouth were also in the Talking Heads — which is one of the best bands from the second half of the Twentieth Century. They don’t have an oceanic obsession, but the congruity is fun.
