Doris Day is on now while I am in the lounge.

 

[Dutch McCoy]

For some reason I am jamming to Ultra-lounge: Christmas cocktails, part one. It just swings so hard, I can not help it. Merry Christmas to everyone.

 

[Dr Doran]

John Zorn's covers of soundtracks of Italian films. The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly and a lot more, including some sweet, contemplative numbers.

 

[Matt Noir]

This morning I am listening to Kings of Convenience - the perfect music for a mellow Sunday morn.

 

[BJBAmerica]

Louis Prima & Keely Smith - Ultra Lounge set.

 

[Atomic Glee]

"City Morning Song" by Sarah Shannon has turned out to be the most pleasant surprise music purchase I've made in some time. She was the lead singer of Velocity Girl, but rather than the shoegaze/alternarock sound of that band her solo stuff is pop, and I mean that in a very old-fashioned sense. Not today's pop of brainless teen girls and melodyless dreck, but pop in a very Mid Century Modern/Van Dyke Parks/Brian Wilson/Burt Bacharach sort of way. Piano, muted horns, strings, lovely melodies. Completely unexpected, but a beauty of an album if you like the older, good kind of pop, back when "pop" did not exclude the words "creative" or "artistic." She's got a web site at http://www.sarahshannon.com where you can listen to samples.

 

[Diamondback]

Currently trying to chase down Alan Silvestri's score from Back to the Future--not the '80s pop, the instrumentals from scenes like racing the storm...

 

[leaette]

i love my Ultra Lounge CDs but right now, I'm listening to Sirius satalite radio- Howard Stern.
BIG fan.

 

[Dr Doran]

Looks like everyone's ultralounging it. Say Lady Day, you wouldn't wanna make me another ...

 

[Dinerman]

I'm on a velvet underground kick.

I have Sweet Jane, Waiting for the man, and Sister Ray in a rotation on repeat.

 

[AlanC]

I just bought the new album from the Carolina Chocolate Drops off iTunes. Great stuff.

Brilliant stuff.

 

[Nashoba]

I had Ella Fitzgerald playing for most of the day. and a bit of Bela Fleck

 

[Smithy]

Good call with Ella Nashoba, her voice is like honey.

I've had Duke Ellington on, and isn't "Mood Indigo" a great tune...

I love Duke. My favorite is "East St Louis Toodle-Oo." I have a recording from, I believe, 1928 and it is smokin.'

 

[Fletch]

The California Ramblers in 1930 doing Cole Porter's You've Got That Thing...not your usual bouncy showtime rendition...they do it as a medium New Orleans drag with 4-beat slapped bass, a 4-part sax chorus and NO vocal. And this was a commercial New York session band!
