The Steamy Library 2: Sensuous

Many years back when blogs thrived, one particular blog (I no longer recall the name, and probably long gone by now) made a series of sexy lounge tracks. I must have really loved the idea because years later, I finally got around in doing my own series.

The first one was back in May of this year (you can find it here) and finally got around to a second. 16 tracks of sensual desire, or however direction it takes you. My favorite is Armando Trovaioli's instrumental version of "Searching for Something." Otto Sieben's "Soft Flute 1" is another fav. Unfortunately, it's a short track. Another big favorite is Syd Dale's "Dream Fantasy." Seriously, they're all good. Enjoy!

That's What She Said! Number Five Ladies!

It's the ladies again, and they sure know how to rock. Dani Sheridan's "Songs of Love" is my favorite and a big, big fav. Lulu's "I'll Come Running Over" is another fav. Colette & The Bandits' "A Ladies' Man" is another worthy track. They're all good! 20 tracks in all, from '56 to '69. Enjoy!

Rockin' Rollin' Doo-Wop 2: Ooh Bop Sha Boo!

If one rockin' & rollin' doo-wop'n ain't enough, how about another round. 18 tracks in all, from 1954 to '64. Favs include The Cliques' "I'm in Love with a Girl" (biggest fav in the mix, probably). The Blue Chips' "Come Back" and The Dikes' "Light Me Up" are a couple more big favs. They're all good of course. Enjoy!

Soul Groovin' - Hip Burnin' Grooves [1965-75]

18 funky groovin' soul tracks. Several rare and plenty of unsung gems. Favs include Act I's "Goodbye Love (We're Through)," Marie "Queenie" Lyons' "Your Key Don't Fit It Anymore," and Archie Bell & The Drells' "Dancing to Your Music." And can't forget Gunga Din's "Crabcakes." They're all good. Enjoy!

Awesome Downtime 20: Beginnings

It's been four months since the last "Downtime" mix. I think it's time for another... the 20th edition. I'm sure I've mentioned this in previous editions, but I'm a stickler for the downtime mixes.

18 tracks, and no filler! Future Loop Foundation's "Another English Summer" is a big, BIG fav and my favorite in the mix. Joe Walsh's "Giant Bohemoth" is another big fav (I love Joe's instrumentals). Softy's "Bloom" and Towerz's "Loom" are another couple of big favs. As per norm, they're all good. Enjoy!

Yacht On Some More! Best of 70s & 80s Smooth Sailing

The second yacht rock mix... I was going to just do that one mix of yacht rock but forgot to add my favorite Peter Frampton track - "St. Thomas (Don't You Know How I Feel)." I love that tune!

Like the previous mix, I based the majority of tracks from listening to streams. I'm not worried if some of the tracks don't quite fall into the genre (and I'm sure the streaming stations feel likewise) for it's all good. Enough of chatter...

I like this mix better than the first. As mentioned earlier, Frampton's St. Thomas is gold. Big, big fav. Other favs =  Canada's own Trooper with "Santa Maria," and Stretch's "Forget the Past." Also check out Chris Rainbow's tribute to Brian Wilson (Beach Boys), "Dear Brian." Enjoy!
