That's at the Velvet, in Second Life Time.

Goddamn, but it's been a heck of a week
Of dealing with things and people we hate.
But the weekend is here and we're due to unwind
From all those horrors of which we not speak.
And so the party had started at eight


1. The Orb - S.A.L.T. (7:54)
2. Single Gun Theory - Fall (4:26)

Tonight I tried a game. What do all the following tracks have in common?

3. Hector Varela - Palomita blanco.mp3 (2:02)
4. Nick Drake - Pink moon (2:04)
5. Trio - Da Da Da (3:25)
6. The Roots - Dynamite (4:45)

9. Stereolab - Parsec (5:34)
10. Fluke - Absurd (5:47)
11. Master Cylinder - Jung At Heart (Remix) (5:19)

And the answer to that actually prompted a request.

12. Groove Armada - I See You Baby (Fatboy Slim UK) (4:04)

With the oddity that work has become, things have become more stressful. I've always found jazz is a good way to relax.

13. Eartha Kitt - I Want To Be Evil (Live Kaskad 1962) (3:06)
14. Duke Ellington - Caravan (5:59)
15. Dinah Washington - Why a Woman Loves a Heel (2:53)
16. Jimmie Winceford - T'aint What You Do (3:07)
17. Telepopmusik - Breathe (4:38) A throw in, from a result of the game.
18. Charlie Parker - (strings) They Can't Take That Away from Me (3:18)
19. Cab Calloway - Reefer Man (June 9 1932) (2:59)
20. Dave Brubeck Quartet - Everybody's Jumpin' (4:23)
21. Django Reinhardt & Stephane Grappelli - Nocturne (3:16)

I have been ripping my vinyl to mp3. The Katz tune was one of those. Many pops and hisses.

22. Fred Katz and His Jammers - Imagination (3:27)
23. Louis Armstrong and Ella Fitzgerald - Dream a Little Dream (3:10)
24. Count Basie Orchestra - Dance of the Gremlins (4:14)
25. The Oscar Peterson Trio - Night train (4:50) Oscar Peterson died!
26. Miles Davis - Blue in Green (5:37)
27. Rosemary Clooney - Come On-A My House (2:00)
28. Henry Mancini - Sorta Blue (2:50) I managed to randomly pick Mancini's weirdest work.
29. Henry Mancini - Peter Gunn (2:02) So I followed with something more mainstream.
30. Tommy Dorsey - Song of India (Jan 29 1937) (3:08)

32. Glenn Miller - Tuxedo Junction 2 (3:33)
33. Eartha Kitt - C'est Si Bon (Live Kaskad 1962) (3:06)
