What are you listening to?

[LizzieMaine]

78s to catch up from oversleeping by --

Starting off in 1935 with a selection from "Porgy and Bess," as performed by the original Sportin' Life, Avon Long, backed by Leo Reisman and his Orchestra, "I Got Plenty Of Nuttin'." Somebody's been looking at my bank statements.

Next, the Milt Herth Trio in 1939 with a brain-worming rendition of "Monkeys Have No Tails In Pago Pago." There's just something about a hot Hammond organ solo that brings out the majesty in a silly thirties novelty tune.

Burton Cummings - 'Woman Love' CD - Wow! What a voice!

 

[Fletch]

Star Gazing, a pleasant Jerry Levinson tune (most of his were), played by the Barbary Coast Orchestra of Dartmouth College in 1935 on Decca. Every college worth anything had its own dance band then, but the "Coast" was an institution. Nonetheless, they did only the one platter for Decca, and no more.

Phil Keaggy - Beyond Nature

The Wallflowers, Bring Down the Horse. Bob Dylan's son sounds like Springsteen to me. anyone else think so?

Radio shows.. Currently addicted to The Saint..

So i bought a Philco Cabinet.. trying to figure out how to hook an ipod to it without totally gutting it as it is in fine condition.

Need to figure out how I can hook a Ipod dock like this one as it has a jack to hook to speakers

Listening to modern garage. The Ettes, and the Datsuns. Not sure if the Datsuns really qualify but need to give them more of a listen.

Wake Up To Money from 5Live

 

[Avalon]

At the risk of being pelted with tomatoes, Adam Lambert's new album. Bought it for Mom (she's a total fangirl), but am pleasantly surprised! A fun bit of dance pop fluff.

Looking at below-zero weather in a couple of days, so I'm listening to more baseball in a desperate attempt to deny the inevitable: today's contest pits the Brooklyn Dodgers against the Chicago Cubs on June 4, 1957. Vin Scully calls the action, in his seventh major-league season, and sounds exactly as he would 52 years later -- all except for the constant cajoling to "light up a Lucky."

 

[Mysterious Mose]

Savannah Syncopators- El Rado Scuffle
Lloyd Smith's Gut-Bucketeers- Wake up Sinners
Lawrence Welk Novelty Ork.- Spiked Beer
Roy Wilson And the Georgia Crackers- Deserted Blues
Dorsey Brothers- Spell of the Blues
Russell's Hot Six - Sweet Mumtaz
Jelly Roll Morton - The Crave
Kansas City Frank Melrose - Pass the Jug
Little Brother Montgomery - Shreveport Farewell
Paul Howard Quality Serenaders - The Ramble

Now where's that "tears of joy" smilie?

Once again, back to one of my favourite tracks, on one of my favourite albums, by one of my favourite bands:

Abney Park - Herr Drosselmyer's Doll

 

[LizzieMaine]

78s to hold the refrigerator door open in hopes of warming up the kitchen by --

Starting off in 1933, with Rudy Vallee and his Connecticut Yankees and a slick version of "Flying Down To Rio." Rio by the Sea-o. That Gus Kahn was such a wag.

Next, Jimmy Dorsey and his Orchestra with their contribution to the Bizarre Novelty Record Hit Parade of 1936, "What's The Reason I'm Not Pleasing You?" That's Jimmy himself on the clarinet, making chicken-clucking sounds and other equally disturbing noises. Somewhere Ted Lewis's ears are burning.

 

[Lenore]

Dino - Baby it's Cold Outside. Christmas with the Rat Pack.

and Diana Krall with the Clayton-Hamilton Jazz Orchestra. Christmas Songs.

The hat or the lady?
The lady or the hat?

All right, I pick the lady. Hats come and go. Besides, I happen to know she's into guys who are musical, nearsighted, and losing their hair.

In that vein, how about I Surrender Dear, by the "Let's Dance Band" of Benny Goodman in 1935.
