What music do you play in bed with birds?

[Nick Cope]

Do you like to play tunes when you've got company? Thing is, it's not just a case of wacking on whatever's already on there - I think 'Cabaret Music' from the Dhartma Bollywood OST might not go down too well in an intimate environment, what with all the shrieking and blood curdling, distorted voices etc - so a choice must be made, but one heavy with significance - what does it say about yourself?

Do you get all cultured all of a sudden and slip on 'A Love Supreme'? Maybe you'll wanna freak her on satin sheets with a bit of Sade, every hip hoppers' fave... Or maybe something that you can both relate to, instead of showing off your knowledge of nerddom - Girls Aloud for example...

Absolutely no contest whatsoever: Jimi Hendrix, 'Axis, Bold as Love'. Sexiest record ever made. That intro to 'Spanish Castle Magic' kicks in and you're away...

[Nick Cope]

Hmmmm....
This thread's beginning to pay off...

miles davis - kind of blue

Always be prepared to play the 'get out of there quick' card if it all goes the way of the pear.

Always have a Focus, Tony Williams Lifetime or some angry Pharoah Sanders to hand.

Failing that, play a slice of Suicide or some choice, The Fall for those emergency exits.

You're gonna laugh but I'm ashamed to admit that last time it was 'a selection of works in progress by Hero No. 7'. Says more about the amount of Stella consumed than the music I feel. What does it say about me? The ego has landed (no, hang on, I don't play Robbie).

Tom Scott - Honeysuckle Breeze

I mean the intro to 'Up From the Skies', of course: you gotta build up to 'Spanish Castle Magic'...and skip 'EXP'.

Is this one of the situations where we'd agree the CD has the edge over vinyl, too? The longer playing time and all that...

Don't want to be stopping midway to turn over the LP, do we?

Leroy Hutson
Ronn Matlock

Or any suitably Cheesy Soul

I'm a 'Silver Bullet - 20 Seconds to Comply' kind of guy myself - senstive....

I feel sick.

Any good Bossa Nova will get them going good

[the funky guzzo]

Sahib shihab "Summer Dawn"
Miles Davis "Someday My Prince Will come"
or
Anything by Mazzy Starr.

all of the above are pure butter. Just beware the results

[vibra]

I've tended to find that contemporary soul sounds like Jill Scott, Erykah Badu, D'Angelo.. that kind of thing sets the tone quite nicely, although I guess it can seem a little cheesy sometimes inna 'Walrus of Love' kinda way!!

I'm sure we can turn this thread into a funk/soul meets double entendre-fest yet, how about:

Rufus Thomas 'Do the Push & Pull'

Asha Puthli 'Right Down Here'

Detroit Emeralds 'Baby Let Me Take You'

Eddie Harris 'Is It In?'
