Darondo – Didn’t I
(Let my People go, Music City, 1972)
Benny Sings – Coconut

The Moments – To you with love
(Moments to Remember, Stang, 1974)
Pilooski – Love is Wet
(Love is Wet EP, Astro Lab, 2007)
Onra – Hope
(Chinoiseries, Favourite Records, 2007)
Boomclap Batchelors – Combiner
(Brownswood Bubblers Two, Brownswood, 2007)
note: my first post for mdm, this is a list of sweet melancholia, for an autumn day dappled in light both warm and cold. Inspired by excessive chocolate and hot beverage consumption over Easter, these are songs to groove out to whilst sitting in a comfortable chair.

i Love th is post !

Hey Andras, welcome!
Wicked playlist, oddly enough I was out of town the past few days and yesterday I was listening to exactly the same Darondo and Pilooski songs! Wasn’t drinking hot chocolate tho cause I ran out of milk so we had apple cider tea instead.
That you on the photo? Your eyes sort of remind me of Jason Schwartzman.
I’ve been coming here for a while. Not all of the music is to my liking, but I just love the photos and quotes and general feel of the page. Where do you find so many beautiful quotes?
This mix is amazing by the way.
thanks for the kind welcome!
darondo is pretty sweet moka – pity that only one album is available. the photo isn’t of me, – it’s one i took of my friend patty. I’ll tell him that he looks like schwartzman…
Heya Andras, welcome. Nice list and picture. I thought for a moment, it was moka trippin on 70′s album. Things are a bit slow, so just enjoy yourself. Anything can happen around here.

Well, we try to do variety, but most of the time its following whatever mood that come. (So, yeah things can be a bit iffy.)
The quotes? Google. A lot are well known classics, so that’s scattered on various text repository (Gutenberg, sunsite, poem.org, etc). Some are random finding. The hard tricks, most of the time is to match the mood and quote after the usual sites are over used. :D
That was strange – I was halfway through Boom Clap Bachelors before I noticed that they were singing in my mother tongue! Nice surprise, I’ve never heard of them before. Thank you and welcome!
tom,
you should check out owusu & hannibal, two guys who are part of the boomclap batchelors. Their album living with owusu & hannibal is a similar sound and one of my personal favorites.
beautiful playlist – thanks a lot!
Exquisite — thanks
just noticed the new name. love the list — so apropos, and much needed. welcome to the mellow madness …
Great list, Fox! Welcome, to the new ingredient to an already delicious entree.

That Benny Sings track is Sonar Kollektiv? Those guys are everywhere! Recently I’ve been loving their Grandfather Paradox mix, and also Henrik Schwarz’s K7 mix.
