Christiern Posted March 6, 2008 Report Posted March 6, 2008 It doesn't happen often, but turning to Radio Dismuke for some 20's and 30s pop/dance music usually does the trick. I mean, how can one stay blue after hearing a song like "I Like Bananas, Because They Have No Bones"? Quote

Dan Gould Posted March 6, 2008 Report Posted March 6, 2008 what music do you play to pick you up when you got the blues? The blues. Quote

7/4 Posted March 6, 2008 Report Posted March 6, 2008 There's different kinds of blues...some days late Coltrane works while other days Howlin' Wolf and other days it's the sliding planes of planet earth with Xenakis. Quote
king ubu Posted March 6, 2008 Report Posted March 6, 2008 what music do you play to pick you up when you got the blues? The blues. Cannonball these were my first two thoughts (actually Cannonball was first) - but neither is really true, I guess... I sort of stopped listening up to particular kinds of music or artists or specific albums to "modify" my mood(s), but there are a few that I often used to play in such situations, for instance Kenny Burrell's "Midnight Blue" or the title track off Green's "Idle Moments". Also Coltrane, "A Love Supreme" or "Crescent". Quote

clifford_thornton Posted March 6, 2008 Report Posted March 6, 2008 Sun Ra Right, some blues but not the kind that's blue... Quote
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted March 7, 2008 Report Posted March 7, 2008 Lucky Dube it's WORKING!!!! thanks bill! Right - but you want to watch out for records like "Victims" A cheerful Lucky Dube compilation would be good. MG Quote
