music to wash dishes to

Mainers are nice folks, they introduce me to their dogs, they laugh at my jokes

After all the fun out at the coast, I just wanted to peruse the shops for loud music that pairs well with Pernod (the way an antiquer might seek an armoire that suits their guest bedroom)

The two recordings I procured at Strange Maine were -

A)Ophibre – Music for Casio Keyboard and Heavy Objects

B)The Ghastly Grimey Orchestra – Edward Gorey Tribute

Then I walked down Congress to Enterprise Records

Came in and “The Grass Is Greener” by Grassella Oliphant was playing.

Never heard it before, but dug it.

Got three records there –

A)John Coltrane – Coltrane Plays The Blues

B)Thelonious Monk – Quartet & Big Band Live

C)Lennie Tristano - Tristano

And in the cool-down of the evening, I gave Moon Duo and Ilyas Ahmed’s “Between Two Skies” a listen.

Today has had its fair share of quandratic moments, like a parade of neh-ked-ish folks down Free Street in the afternoon, but I think a sure remedy is a bit of Pemaquid Ale and then Sleep.

Support local music, if you know you shouldn’t take your shirt off…please don’t (take your shirt off)
