Very good. It's easy to imagine I hate Van Halen, or better Vank Walen, the Hair n' Spandex metallers.

I think she is one of the most beautiful women ever. That is the second movie (by the same director) Pink Floyd wrote the soundtrack for after More, which I commented on the other day. It plays and is all shot (or so I think) in Borneo.

Especially Virginia Plain.

Great David Stone Martin cover art.

Oh, I just discovered Dalí on this photo, after having seen it a couple of times. Yes, I probably concentrated on the girl in the center, but then while reading the next post I suddenly saw him. Like a revelation.

Must be a hard to part with one. I, for one, wouldn't.

La Notte is a perennial favorite of mine. With Jeanne Moreau, Mastroiani and Monica Vitti. I hadn't ever stopped to consider its music, though. And I will now.

And I like it very much. Like all the 3 first albums. Up to More, a soundtrack they made in 1969 for a movie shot mainly in Ibiza. And I think with Dave Gilmour already on board.

Isn't that a Pink Floyd album? Yes, it's from the time with Syd Barrett, but it's a Pink Floyd.

In the last time I'm watching a TV station called Qwest by Quincy Jones that features lots of good jazz concerts. And it has also a subchannel for Classical and another for everything mixed. Pop, funk, soul and everything else. So he's also dabbled into TV.

Yes it spurred a whole scene. I will seek out Swoon as soon as I can.

Yes I like him very, very much. But also his more mainstream side.

What opened my eyes re: Prefab Sprout was the C86 cassette, given away with a NME. And then I heard Steve McQueen. Never new of Swoon.

I was 14, and I'm aware of it, but I have started to listen more accurately to it in the 10 last years. So I knew it but have come to fully appreciate it later. And it's great! I'm rereading that book, that was my favorite book for a long time when I was younger. From Alberf Camus. And it's a very old edition (like from the 50s), which I think belonged to my mother.

Yes, that's very true. But I know more Regina and less La Lupe... And Regina was all those things you say.

Oh, I remember Prefab Sprout warmly from the 80s. But for me their favorites are their two first albums, Steve McQueen and From Langley Park to Memphis. I see they had a previous album called Swoon from 1984, but that must be a minority thing. And Steve McQueen very above the other.

The other day a friend of mine told me he had seen an interesting doc on Netflix, I think, about Kubrick's Italian driver.

I still remember when I saw it. When it came out. It's great!

Got the two Lloyd McNeill albums yesterday from Soul Jazz on the strength of the recs here. And also Journeys in Modern jazz: Britain 1965-72. That's a sampler of British jazz from that time that was mainly released in vinyl. It was difficult to get hold of on CD.

I got this the other day. Mainly for this interview, but also for the article on the 50th of Sticky Fingers (this and Exile on Main Street and also Beggars Banquet are the Stones' favorite for me) and the cover feature, Amy Winehouse.

I think, though I'm not sure, I've got this. Wasn't it reissued in the Verve Master Edition series?

I have done that trip a couple of times. Once, I remember, in 1983 or 84. And yes, it was a harrowing scene. But I also remember when that Amiga compilation came out on JCR, which was the sister label to Compost, a German label I was very much in awe of at the mid 90s to the mid 2000s, and (JCR) which was the collaboration of Jazzanova and Compost.

I finally got a CD copy of this, and it' so good. Just the piano. Oh, and on my way to find the cover I stumbled upon a row of very sexy ladies. Apparently there's also a firm of lingerie called Westward Bound.

And I still am, mad about Brazilian stuff, that is. But it all started from there. Or Good that you did that. You sure are better off now.

I'm totally unaware of this, though could have encountered it. The Brazilian Suite I have is an mp3, and I don't when I got it, but it must have been 2006 or so, when I was mad about Brazilian stuff.
