Midweek Cafe and Lounge, Vol. 213

Hey everyone! I am running late. It has been one of those weeks. Nothing bad. I’ve just been very busy. It happens. Hopefully the rest of y’all are doing okay.

Here’s a little easy listening for you. It’s very much a product of its time.

There is something about remixes that has fascinated me really since remixes became a thing. Yeah – that’s a long time. Sometimes they’re minor refinements to the original (as is the case here). Others serve strictly to function on the dance floor. And yet others end up being art in their own right.

Here’s a remix of some early Steve Reich pieces by Tranquility Bass (who passed away far too soon), Megamix. And a megamix it is.

The bar is open and the jukebox is working. If you wish to sit in silence and contemplate the universe, that’s fine. If you want to talk, do that too.

Peace and love.

  3. Funny to think that when I was around my mid-teens, Bob Dylan was a 40-something, and was considered “old” by my peers. It was difficult to not know at least a few of his classics. Maybe it was just a quirk of my various school districts, but it seems like “Blowing in the Wind” would have been one that we’d learn how to sing if nothing else. I have a book of poems he published in 1971, and I think I still have a copy of a book of his lyrics through 1985. And somehow, he’s kept on keepin’ on.
