186: Indian Summer(time)

Hi.

Today is a special day!

With the help of Cheeba

(from Canada)

& Matt(hias)

(from Germany, who also send me this pic to use)

and countless other sources

(let's count Rab & Co in for sure!)

I've gathered here another 53 (!) versions

of the good old Summertime song!

Amen.

I said I'd stay away from this song a bit & I did...

It's cold at night, hot (OK, warm) during the day,

it's a typical indian summer(time) over here in 2008.

-

No better time than the present to offer you this enormous batch of

versions, some of them REALLY aweful, some of them REALLY good,

and a lot of them, well, let's say they're OK.

-

Mind you, there are some UNEXPECTED cool surprises in this lot,

so if you're in for some more, be sure to catch this at once!

-

please enjoy!

185: Back In The Day, part 3

Hi.

Alas, no new wah't going on today,

instead I'll take y'all unto a funky frenzy into the world of hiphop...

- again ??? -

No worries, it's all better than and more important

very much more IN the Game and/or worth your Fifty Cent [:-)

-

This mix relates to the "better" side of rap,

the one you can nod yer heads to, or even dance to, if you're one of those

B-Boys who are able to seemingly defy gravity with their moves...

For those who can relate to the above,

feel free to do your thing on track nr. 6 please :-)

-

I wanted to do -just- a small 10 track comp today, but I had

to include a kinda O'L'D' time fav from 1990 when I heard it back,

dropping needles from track to track...

irresistible "old skool-shit" you probably know (or not?)

-

Made me realize I HAVE to do an all-time-fav-top-10 of

Ultramagnetic and/or Kool Keith stuff some time soon!

-

Anywhos, rest is from the mid towards end 90's stuff,

all without a doubt classix by now, so E.N.J.O.Y.

and remember the basic instructions before leaving earth...

182: Jazz, jazz & a bit of jazz

Hi.

For today's post it's a mix of jazz, jazz & a bit of jazz!

It swirls through the years and styles, like confetti on a party,

but it's still a "coherent" (yes I can use strange words as you see :-)

1 hour and 40 minutes listening trip...

-

It's a mix of music I've had for decades and stuff my local dealers

& heros provided for the last year I was so "out here" ,

they are responsible for keeping my addiction sane

and I'm sure they know who they are!

-

Put this on your walkman, Ipod or boombox on your way to work,

or yet even better, when you're day is done and enjoy!

all the wonderful psychoanalists out there,

who make my level of mental well-being as high as possible!

179: Train...

Hi.

Today I elaborate on a suggestion done by Matt(hias),

another reader, musical maniac, collector and listmaker from

Germany, who visits here so every now and then...

He's also going to do a far-out-there guest post here,

so be prepared for some twisted sounds on his behalve :-)

Matt proposed the idea (and a pic he'd taken) for your odd

all-TRAIN-compilation of some sort...

well, I'm always open for that kind of uplifting input,

so I gave it some thoughts.

-

I realised lots of songs will fit into this "label", so today I present

a carefully selected first part of those songs that need a rail or two...
