Midweek Cafe and Lounge, Vol. 131

Hi music lovers!

Booman asked in the last cafe/lounge if anyone knew chess. I am afraid I don’t, but I do know the Chess soundtrack. Yeah, I know. Not quite the same thing. But, hey, we do what we can. This Murray Head track was a big hit in 1986, and was a staple of KROQ night at any of a number of watering holes around LA/OC at the end of the 1980s and right at the start of the 1990s.

I’m sure I will have more. I usually do. The bar is open. Add your own tunes. Say hey. The news cycles can drive you crazy. Sometimes just getting through life can do that as well. I know all to well. If you just want to shoot the breeze, cool. I’ll keep checking in.

Cheers!

    2. I took up the sport in the mid-50s, checked books out of the Wichita Falls Kemp Public Library (great library), studied problems, and played fairly semi-regularly in HS (often daily at lunch), and in college (my roommate was really good, and I hear he is still quite competitive/obsessive.) After decades of not playing, I got a Grandmaster 2000 and worked through the rudiments, refreshing my skills, so to speak, then it proceeded to kick my ass after 4-5 moves every time. I play bridge now. Congrats to Finn and I hope he learns to focus his disappointment into improvement and patience.

  6. “The bar is open” — yes it is! I was looking for chess drink recipes yesterday, but couldn’t find any. Darn! However, today is Talk Like A Pirate Day and there are lots of drinks with pirate themes. I begin with Walk The Plank Shots from Tipsy Bartender.

    “WALK THE PLANK” is a crazy fun shot that’s done like a blowjob shot with no hands. It’s strong but is good!

    Drink up, me hearties, yo ho!
