See – I can even do this in other countries!

Various Artists – Global Rhythm, Jan/Feb 2008 This arrived just before I left with another group of artists I have never heard before. Haven’t gone through the whole CD yet, but the Chicago Afrobeat Project and Laura Reed & Deep Pocket sounded pretty good.

Supperclub – “The Best of 15 Years” Ah, Supperclub…
Supperclub is a restaurant/club where you basically sit on beds while you are fed and entertained. There are five existing: Amsterdam, Rome, Istanbul, Bodrum and San Francisco. There are supposedly 8 more in progress including – you guessed it! – Dubai. When we first went in Amsterdam(2003?), it was the best experience of my life. Fun, sensual and excellent food. It was a full evening. An event! The second time (2006) was horrible. Service was slow and awful, it was not entertaining and the patrons were classless drunks. Total torture. A franchise spoiled? Maybe. But the music was always excellent (as I said, it was also a club) and they have been putting out CDs for a while. The classic is #3 – La Salle Neige. But this double-disc set is great as well. With discs like this (or Buddah Bar or Café del Mar), it doesn’t really matter who the artists are – as long as the tone and the groove work. And it does.

PS – For all the participants of the Christmas “covers” CD: please email me your set list. The songs didn’t come up upon transfer to the library and I didn’t have time to write them all in. NOW- I have time.

    Glad to see you made it. Supperclub sounds great but do they peel and feed you grapes while you recline?

    No, but they do offer massages and a drag queen singing disco.
