[QUOTE=jrhymeammo]Thanx Bernd
I saw your post then it made me pause. I forgot I purchased that record, but something didnt look right. My copy has red background instead of your green cover. [Quote]

There are green and red background copies. The Photographer Peter Turner supplied A&M with both images and they used both. I prefer the red background, just never found a decent copy.

Anyway on the round spot we have:

"The Motorcycle Diaries - Soundtrack" Beautiful.

Peace

Now spinning: The Robert Cray Band~Heavy Picks

[Bernd]

Over here the weekend has started in earnest with a spin of:

St. Germain - Tourist

Ironic that I'm listening to this because a song from this album ("Sure Thing") is being used for a birth control pill commercial, and we found out only a few days ago that my wife is pregnant!

Here's the commercial on YouTube. The pill being advertised is called YAZ (why isn't Alison Moyet providing the soundtrack?) and this is one of the cheesiest ads I've seen in a while (this trend of trying to incorporate all the legal disclaimers and side effects into the conversation on these prescription drug ads is pretty annoying). Does anybody else have their suspicions that she's not really a medical student?

Man, this album has been mined for so many different purposes! I remember "So Flute" being used on at least one commercial. Even the NFL got into the act when they made "Rose Rouge" the unofficial theme song for the season kickoff a few years ago. "Sure Thing" was also used on at least one other national TV commercial that I can recall.

When my wife and I went on our honeymoon to Montreal three years ago, I heard St. Germain's Tourist and Boulevard albums EVERYWHERE. "Sure Thing" was the background music for the tourism office's "Welcome to Montreal" video that ran 24 hours on our hotel room TV, and just about every restaurant, cafe, and lounge had St. Germain spinning. I also heard it with a couple of TV commercials, but since they were in French, I had no idea what they were selling. Of course, it can't be more bizarre than a birth control pill named Yaz! Frankly, that pill commercial would have been a lot better if I had NOT known what product they were selling.

With such saturation play, I wound up buying St. Germain's En Laye Cafe, En Laye Cafe Printemps, and Soho Lounge compilations on that trip. More recently, I've been collecting their Des Pres Cafe nujazz compilations, for which they are now up to Volume 9.

Last night spinning, the warm glow of Valves, a cool beer and some mellow toones:

[Bernd]

we just bought the movie, anyways,
now spinning:
Igor Stravinsky - The Firebird
Supperclub 10 - The end.

Good Movie.

Peace

[basite]

yep, very good indeed, nice music too.

[jrhymeammo]

It is really beautiful here in Denver today. It's been raining and temperature's in 65F / 18Celsius and couldn't have asked for a more optimal day. Nice humidity=Great day in music.
Just got done cleaning 30+ records from yesterday's purchase. I decided to pickout Kenny Drew Duo 2. I do enjoy Big Band/Sextet+ from time to time, but I've always prefered smaller ensemble. I have a couple of KDrew Trio which I love. But, Duo really helps me enjoy what musicans are doing to the fullest. I couldnt've picked a better album to start off my day. I remember seeing another copy at the store so I hope to go acquire it in a week or two.
This is first time I've had a great oppotunity to listen Niels-Henning Orsted Pedersen. Anybody here know any albums that feature this bassist?
I used to have this bias towards post late 60s Jazz, but such as this album keeps me in check.

Have a great weekend.

That was a nice vinyl haul you got yourself. Well done.

Sunday morning, sunshine and a good disc:

"Shelby Lynne - Suit Yourself".

Peace

Bernd

[bobsticks]

You do our young friend an injustice, Bernd. That's an outstanding haul j, I hope that everything is in top form.

Over here, I'm starting the day of with hot coffee and Relaxin' with Miles Davis.
I'll be heading out later to do a little shark huntin' of my own...

Cheers to all

[Dave918]

Off to a late start this morning

Brad Mehldau ~ House on a Hill

-dave

[Bernd]

Sunday eve. and listening to a favourite:

"Carlos Guitarlos - Straight from the Heart".

Peace

Bernd

[bobsticks]

Rolling into the afternoon with Floyd...The Final Cut. It seems as if this album is considered an afterthought by many fans, maybe the pro-Gilmour crowd consider it to be too much of a Waters angst-fest, but I love the sarcasm...

Monday is Blues day again, and the new arrival gets its first spin:

"Bo Ramsey - Stranger Blues".

Sounds mighty fine.....

Peace

Bernd

[bobsticks]

Cool tunes in the early evening with the windows wide open to the city--despite impending thundershowers. Man, Joe Henderson's sax is positively fluttering on Ask Me Now off of McCoy Tyner Quartet's~New York Reunion (produced by a couple of characters name of Chesky)


Cheers

[Bernd]

Summer has returned and all the windows are open and some nice toones are enjoyed:

Last night:

"The Beatles - Let it be....Naked".

Today so far:

"Ron Howington - From the cradle to the Grave".

"Bradley Cole - In our Time".

Peace

Bernd

breaking in my new 6DJ8s on my integrated amp with Pink Floyd Relics, German pressings. I must say, alot of these songs haven't been heard in a while, but no need for remastering on a record. I need to call my friend who had turned me on to wax. First time I heard it was on a cheap DJ deck thru a mixer with a couple of Roland monitors with 3.5" woofers. Right then I knew all the hypes about records were true.

"The Beatles - Let it be....Naked".???????
I thought you hated the Beatles, then again I didnt really read that thread.

[jrhymeammo]

Charlie Parker - Bird Symbol. Excellent quality
Earl Hines - Recording Session. I can really hear him breathing hard.
Guess I'll be nodding off in class tomorrow. Will be enjoying some Nina Simone to cap it off for the night. I never hear anybody listening to her. Why is that? Some songs, I can tell that she's not really into that session. But most of the time she really touches me. I need to get an album with a song Mississippi Goddamn. I think she co-wrote that song based on her friend's poem who pasted away. Besides that, she never wrote a single song. Elvis is dead, but Eunice still lives in my heart.
