May I borrow your iPod? I like your random.

Great list Bubs, love em all! I was listening to Yma Sumac earlier which is curious but fitting.

My family can't STAND Yma Sumac. I get a kick out of her, in small doses. She's on a couple of Ultra-Lounge compilations I've got.

She was on the other night when my mom was over for dinner; she remembered Yma as some exotic latin singer and was surprised when I said her real name was Amy Camus and she was some kid from NY or something.

I must say, the last couple of random 10's have been pretty coherent. I'm waiting for it to come undone.

Oh, BTW Beth, everything on that list other than the Pogues and Yma Sumac was put in by my daughters.

Dale said...

I salute your daughters and their fine musical taste which somehow they got from you right? Ms. Sumac is indeed best handled in small doses.

Rock on with their bad selves! Cool girls!

You've raised them well, Bubs.

Joe said...

They've raised ME well. We just got done watching some stupid splatter movie, and now it's time for bed. They're good girls.

You cannot have too much Yma Sumac IMHO.
She was married to her arranger/conductor Les Baxter who is at the top of the Lounge heap along with Martin Denny.
Personally I prefer Yma's extreme vocal sensibility to a pure laid back lounge instrumental.

If you want to see something Truly Amazing, check out Baxter's credits as a soundtrack composer:

You cannot get better than this-- horror movies, women's prison flicks and a gem called "Mondo Sadismo"

I love Les Baxter! I had no idea he was married to Yma Sumac. Wow. Thanks for the tip on the movie soundtracks.
