I was trying to think of good records for making out a/o sex... and what I can experiment with as far as cool records that won't ruin the mood.

The old standbys were Tom Rapp, Bert Jansch, et al. though Archie Shepp's "Black Gipsy" has been used more than once. Last night, Prince Lasha "Insight" and Howard Riley's "The Day Will Come" worked wonders. One of these days, "Luna Surface" will forever be changed for me...

When I was 19 and wanting to buy my first jazz record, I asked a drummer who lived on my dorm floor, and who was heavily into Art Blakey, what album I should buy. He was a very hep, Zen-like guy; didn't say much, always had a kind of natural-high smile. He looked at me for awhile, said, "Miles Davis, KIND OF BLUE. Make love to it, man." Then he walked away without saying anything else.

These days he's the drummer in the Saturday Night Live band:

Shawn Pelton?

Yeah, that's him! He was a really cool guy. Doing damned well these days, I hear, from a friend who still sees him from time to time... he played on Shawn Colvin's Grammy-winning CD and is a top on-call drummer in NYC. I wasn't much into jazz when I knew him, so I wish I'd tapped his brain more... he was a big Blakey fan, I know that. His favorite expression for someone he liked was, "So-and-so is a heavy hoss."

Anyway, I'm forever grateful to him for steering my indie-rock ears to KIND OF BLUE.

In order of success...ahem. I would say 'Let's Get It On' by Marvin Gaye is a 'sure thing'.

Try these out though, you may hate them, but if they work you won't hear them anyhow.

Zero 7 -- Simple Things

Air -- Moon Safari

Everything But The Girl -- Amplified Heart.

Go, do your stuff.

Air is another good one. :g

[bONUS TRACK: These guys make "I'm seriously in love with this person" records as opposed to, say, "I'm ready to cold get in on" records. So..... B)]
