The computer is fixed and I am free! Here is the group that pushed me over 7,000.

Tangerine Dream – “Soundtrack to Sorcerer” A very tense film. Check it out.
Steely Dan – “Aja”
Violent Femmes – The classic first album.
Various Artists – “Soundtrack to Diner” One of the best coming of age movies ever. The playlist has always been one of my favorites – from Bobby Darin’s “Beyond The Sea” to Jimmy Reed’s “Take Out Some Insurance” to Clarence “Frogman” Henry’s “Ain’t Got A Home”.
Finally – a four disk set of jazz called “The Verve Story: 1944-1994”. Now, I like jazz but I’m not a huge fan. I have some Miles Davis, Chet Baker, Medeski Martin & Wood and others. But this set fills in the blanks nicely. The songs are classic and so are the performances. Everyone is here: Charlie Parker, Illinois Jacquet, Billie Holiday, Count Basie, Ella Fitzgerald, Stan Getz, etc etc. An excellent collection.

Oh – I also added Falco’s “Rock Me, Amadeus”. In German, of course.

    hey,

    Unrelated to the post but…do you agree that the first Hairspray is sooooooo much better than the second? Especially the music.

    I keep hearing about the new movie and I just don’t even want to see it. The original was so good. I especially love Madison Time by the Ray Bryant Trio.

    Love the Violent Femmes too but recently heard them on a Wendy’s commercial which was weird :-)

    The only thing I think about the new Hairspray is that I hate Travolta. I saw the original movie a thousand years ago and never had any interest in the musical.

    As for Wendys – I guess using the Femmes means we are their demographic. Which means we should kill ourselves.
