Hearing jazz while doing breakfast. Cream cheese & bread. Or milk & those yellow box cheerios, but I’m not precisely fond of the milk’s flavor anymore… and I don’t think there’s any of those Cheerios left either way. Maybe f I have time, I could have some fruit too. Definitely no time for melon or pineapples. Mango? only one left and rotten already. Forget the fruit then. Jazz. The fascination for leisure and the bitter blow of the oars. Jazz as a syncopated buzzing of the arteries. As opulence. As rust. Jazz as prognosis or as a death rattle. The ecstasy before the collapse.
que desayuno con estilo! parece el soundtrack de una pelicula de louise brooks, me encanto! definitivamente no pueden faltar las croissants :)
Angeles: Soundtrack de Louise Brooks? Nunca he visto ninguna pelicula de ella pero si tiene cualquier similaridad con estas canciones me apunto la recomendacion. Me encanta esta musica, gracias :)
Dewi: !?
It’s a spammer, testing the filter. lemme erase it.
was it? I saw a mention of Eddie Condon on his comment I just couldn’t make it out, icelandic?
The Bowlly reminds me of the end of The Shining. I guess I could google it. I’d only known his name from the Richard Thompson song.
Did the google for you Godoggo, yes one of the two Bowlly song in the playlist “midnight, the stars & you” is featured on the credits from “the shining”. The soundtrack feat. some other jazz orchestra songs dating between 1930 and 1940, which I haven’t heard yet but I’ll be hunting down soon.
Jazz and breakfast, very recognizable. My favourite part of the week is the Saturday morning. I have this strange ritual of having an extra large breakfast those mornings with fresh baked bread, while listening to either a jazz record or a Red House Painters album, depending on my mood. I’m not sure how this ritual came to be but no matter how busy I am, I always take the time for this weekly one-hour ritual. Can’t wait for tomorrow morning, I’m feeling very Saxophone Colossus right now. ;-)
lovely playlist, moka… that image is so peaceful to me. have you heard of *tresspassers william*, they used the same artwork for their last album. it sounds like the art ;)
