A long time ago you took a picture and/or described CDs your parents had and your mom had Adventure but not Marquee Moon and someone found that funny and remarked on it and it lodged in my memory and/or I imagined it and none of that is true.

you're probably right. it's probably sitting on a CD shelf somewhere next to a few Matthew Sweet LPs

Speaking of quiet storm pleasure centers...I have been asked to provide my pilates group class with an updated mix tape. The presently rotating playlist has a lot of Bloody Cuntean "chill" Ibiza and Moby on it. I was thinking that the quiet storm vibe would be a welcome replacement, sultry and seductive and downtempo, like the deserts miss the rain and Sade and Jessie Ware and such.

Any song tips in that direction, Secret Gardeners?

holy shit, I HAD NO IDEA!!

Miguel seems to be the current go-to guy in that department. Perhaps a notch too sultry for a room where people are getting platonically sweaty, though.

so many great reissues in the last few years and people digging up 'unheard' shit all over the place but this is really something else

gnarled romanian synth jams for your motherfucking mind

I keep a frequently updated playlist of classic jams in my iTunes, many of which are of the "chill" variety. Here are just a couple handfuls of highlights:

As far as I know, I've never done a pilate, but I can imagine that doing one or two or more to any of these songs would be quite an experience.

You should probably play some Talk Talk, also.

I'm listening to Mingus. Bitches.
