for your dancing pleasure...

wow... i guess it has been some time. i must admit, i have had a god awful spring. i mean really bad. uh, take care of your health, kids. that's all i'll say about that! and yet despite my own skewed perspective as i lay in bed for 3 months, the entire country seems glassy eyed as well... the last gasp of the bush idiocracy, the great gasoline malaise, when will this seasick cruise end? i don't want to dwell in the muck, but i have to admit that's where i've been... one thing i can take great pleasure in, however, is a great lounge record. and here friends, is a GREAT lounge long player...! i have to admit i cannot play this LP without, 1) cracking a smile, 2) busting a move, especially during "listen to the music" and "short people", 3) forgetting every thing i was worried about that day, and 4) wishing i could rock this hard if i ever had a band! imagine happy kyne and the mirthmakers on ether at your highschool prom circa '76 and i guess you're half of the way there! the drummer on this LP is so sick. totally not "hip" at the time... accordion/trumpet/etc. put this one firmly into a geezerish zone but makes such a scene for people into wiggy lounge sounds - they play their hearts out, and it shows!! their cover of "Shangri-La" is up there for me as far as these things go, just so freeking good. i hope people dig on this LP, if so i think you can still find these for pretty cheap, i got this one for $6 last year! without further ado...
