More CDs

Recently acquired albums: Jamiroquai’s Dynamite, Mo’Horizon’s New Bohemian Freedom (High Society edition), Pink Martini’s Sympathique and Hang On Little Tomato, and New Order’s Best Of. The latter three were on a ‘3 for $49.90’ offer, which is great because I half wanted to buy them individually in the past, but decided to wait.
Skimming through Dynamite has left me satisfied that Jamiroquai has a pretty consistent standard throughout their albums. My all-time favourite, however is still Space Cowboy (both the song and album).
Mo’Horizon’s album is slightly chilled with laid-back drums and exotic-sounding lyrics.
As for Pink Martini, now at least I can satisfy my craving for the dangerously catchy Sympathique song (the one that goes,’Je ne veux pas travailler, Je ne veux pas déjeuner’…).

  • A Singapore song

    I was just sharing this story with a Singaporean who’s starting a local songwriter’s circle. I’ve decided to share it with the rest of you, too. Several years ago, my mum and I went on a tour of Spain. One night we were on a cruise ship and there was a dinner party. The band…

  • To Be or not to Bebel

    I went to the Bebel Gilberto concert with the Bristol gang. After filling my ears with studio-quality recordings in the office (playing her two albums), I was slightly disappointed to hear the real thing. Bebel and her band were not entirely synchronised in the first few songs. Bebel’s pitch was a little off and there…
