Hmmnmm's Happy Blankie Hideaway

[hmmnmm]

Sort of a Chill-Out Spa








been sitting here for about half an hour trying to come up with a catchy opener, but this morning I became a bossa nova addict, and nothing is as it was

I just came by to drop off some groovy bossa nova jazz.

Wanda Sá.

 

[hmmnmm]

Love em!
Thank you.
Love this stuff.
I mean everybody know the girl from ipanema, but I had no clue who the girl was who sang it.
Oh. Astrud Gilberto.
Oh. Bossa Nova.
It's been a wonderful day.
Astrud Gilberto

This is a great one from Astrid that I remember being popular when I was a kid. And then they used it on Mad Men (one of my obsessions), and I remembered how much I like it.

Oh dear that made my ears object!

Lucky for you hmmnmm didn't say he loves klezmer music.

When I taught yoga the class would unwind to this - most fell asleep. I was grateful that was after the class.

LOL. It's basically the folk music of Eastern European Jewish culture. And given that you are currently in love with the bossa nova and that klezmer involves a fiddle, clarinet *and* an accordion, I won't burden this thread with it!

okay I'm listening to some Barcelona Gipsy Klezmer Orchestra. Tell Annie to cover her ears, because, hm, I like it!



I've always had a rather wide latitude concerning music.
Just a matter of exposure. Mood factors in the mix too. Atmosphere.... which swings us around to that earlier thing about discovery.

Oh dear I shouldn't have Googled that

since we last met I have to say I've developed kind of a schoolboy kind of infatuation with Astrud. If a genie ever comes out of a bottle I'm going to ask to go back the mid 60s and be Astrud's puppy dog.

in other news: well, it's about the same as always.
