Be shaken. Be stirred. A whimsical wham-bam of exotic enchantments, sleazy oddities, pop fancies, and swingin’ slingers broadcast from Ridgewood, NYC’s very own Shangri-Lounge. Best served chilled, garnished with signature swizzle schtick.

I've been so accustomed to hearing Wayne Newton's unique overbite stylings, that I can't hear anything else when I hear Danke Schoen. But, this is pretty damn lovely!

I surprised that you don't know Wayne Newton's music, shangri-lounge. That dude's like Mr Vegas. Mrs Fab and I even saw him live at one of those old joints (the Stardust?)
Avatar 6:58pm
shangri-lounge:

I think I've just intentionally avoided him all this time. Based on mostly looks alone.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:59pm
austinrich:

This is certainly putting me in the mood. I had to work unexpectedly this morning, got off at 4 PM. Rushing home to get set up / reading for MVM tonight... but this is making me feel much more relaxed.

"What? Me? Worry?" Meh. As Krob would say: "Show will happen. Just let it."

I need to get my turntables set up so I can do a Tiki Show. I didn't buy all those records just to look at them.

Well, some of them I did.

Yes, that's the stuff, Austin! Have a nice cup of tea when you get home, and give yourself a minute.

I'm finally home, songs are cued, show is planned. I even have some chill time. It's the driving around before... it just takes me out of the zone.
Avatar 7:07pm
Mr Fab:

Hey austin! Can you listen to WFMU in the car with one o' them bluetooth thingies thru your phone? That might help get you in the mood and perhaps temper the road rage. Or at least "road-annoyance."

I'm committing a major faux-pas. I think. (Played this song last week! Weeeee.)

I had no idea Broadcast sounded like this. For some reason, I had it in my head that they were dumb dance music. Turns out it is dance music just... very good dance music.

Must explore more...
Avatar 7:49pm
Mr Fab:

I always thought of Broadcast as the poor man's Stereolab, and thus, as a fan of the 'lab, was too snooty to get any of their albums. Tho I'd probably like 'em just fine.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 7:50pm
austinrich:

I hear you, Mr. Fab. Stereolab is VERY good, and I heart them very much.
Avatar 7:50pm
shangri-lounge:

Gotta have options though, Fab!

But it sounds like Broadcast is cooler than I thought. It's funny the "vague" impressions we get of bands that we haven't heard yet.

Yeah. There's only a few things that were ruined by roommates (that were otherwise fine bands before). Even worse offenders: roommates with terrible taste, who just played the worst stuff and were unaware it was bad.

Is that a Farfisa?
