Christmas at Moka
Well, December has come and with it the strange feeling I always get in the wintertime. I’ve always felt there was something magical about winter, I don’t know… maybe it’s my inner-child that comes afloat, or something, but winter has always had a special place in my heart. Of course, now, Christmas is not what it used to be, now that I know that Santa Claus dosen’t exist and that my eyes are open to all of the family feuds I sometimes wish I could go back in time and live in the bliss of childhood ignorance. But it’s actually not that bad, winter has transformed for me, it’s magical in a whole different way… I believe there is no better musical expression to what I’m feeling right now than soft warm jazz. Come winter, and I feel in love, I feel sensitive and even a bit mellancholic, it all melts in a big and bubbling mess of sensuality and distress. I hope I can convey the same feeling with these songs… so… here they are… I hope you can get wrapped up in the same intoxicating jazzy feel I am in right now.

jaja muy elegante con betty page y las selecciones jazzeras. El motel esta jazzeando.
nice writing, nice tunes. I love the jazzy mood.
[...] Interesting list. “December 2006 AstroPOP!” by three imaginary girls — Monthly podcast installment. This time, it’s more pop than indie. “Funtime OK top 20 of 2006. #11-15” by funtime OK– Hey don cab is there. I have yet to make a blurb. “Christmas at Moka” by Motel de Moka — Jazzy tunes. [...]
This is truly a wonderful selection, heart warming indeed. But why does that wonderful piece – suave corridor – end so abruptly? Something’s missing there (it’s 5.39 mb and ends after 5.47 min)… Please repost it..
oh yes.. the suave corridor.. ufff… I forgot about that tune.. something is definetly wrong with the song.. no use in reposting it… im sorry.. I absolutely forgot that the track was cut short… jmm… i’ll post another song to make it up for ya ok?
