It’s A Down Day Today

Ask any creative genius and they will tell you, some days it just doesn’t happen. You try and find inspiration and you just can’t. That happened to me today and I’m having a down day. Not only that, I’m having one of those, I really want a girlfriend days. I did think about buying one off the internet, but I only had £6 in my pocket and none of them were that cheap.

As Mrs Cline says “Contentment is the enemy of creativity” or something like that. I’m not really content at the moment, and I’m not creative so that’s blown that out of the water.

Here’s something I tried to make, but it hasn’t really worked.

Party A Go Go (Right Click, Save As etc)

The imagery, idea or whatever it’s called, behind the imaginary album is explained herewith;

Part 1 – The arrival and mingling….

Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass – Third Man Theme

Werner Muller Orchestra – Delicado

Neil Richardson – The Riviera Affair

Ben Allen – Swingers Theme

Michel Legrand – Come Ray Come Charles

Part 2 – The drink is flowing and dancing starts….

Denny Wright & The Hustlers – Shout About Pepsi

Enoch Light – Bond Street

Walter Wanderley – Telefone

Sexteto De Jazz Moderno – Samba Toff

Klaus Wunderlich – Tango Medley

Jimmy Smith – The Cat

Piero Umiliani – Topless Party

Francis Lai – Saint Tropez

Booker T & The MG’s – Red Beans And Rice

Part 3 – Things slow down into a smoochy almost erection section.

John Gregory – Jet Stream

Bebel Gilberto – So Nice (Summer Samba)

Kidda – Hey Y’all

Part 4 – We fall in love.

Roy Budd – Love Is A Four Letter Word.

Part 5 – We get married (and subsequently have lots of lovely easy listening kids).

Edmundo Ros – The Wedding Samba.

Incidentally, I bought this album today.

I thoroughly recommend you get it, even if just to reminisce. Some of the songs on there are just, well, let’s just say it’s a good job they’re from the 70’s. (The Tele on the cover is just like mine!!!) I have to say it reminds me of the BBC Radio 2 Playlist from the 80’s.
