easy listening jazzy style would be nice. think paolo conte,
or instrumental jazz; mulatu astatke, milles davis, john
coltrane,...

lets see, easy listening jazz... how about the process of
weeding out by black flag?

How lucky you are!! I'm an expert in this genre. Sort of a
guilty pleasure you might call it. Well, not excatly. This
is like, music so drivelling with sex and love, its almost
too much (and not that jazzy). But please try it out
anyway!
Pussy wettening music:

Curtis Mayfield:
Everybody neds a friend (actually a really nice track. Not
that over the top. A good starter for a romantic date)

Zapp & Roger:
Oh baby, baby (yes, thats what its called, completely over
the top. Key words: synth,talk box, romantic, slow)

Keith Sweat ft. Silk: Let me lick you up and down (are you
beginning to doubt these are actual tracks? dont. I shit you
not. This is real music!)

Well, try these out. If its for you, i have a goodie bag
filled with shit like this!

Ok- The other two tracks are more 80'ies type things. Cheesy
as fuck, but bad in a really good way. Curtis mayfield is
just plain good. Viktorcrayon@hotmail.com

i'm afraid you know more of them than i do. and i don't
usually find jazz to be all that romantic, either, but i
haven't heard these particular records, but you could be
right.

what i really don't like is how modern use of the word
romantic has utterly destroyed it of its meaning. romance
is used as in romance novels and softcore porn. this is not
the only meaning of the word.

ro·mance Audio pronunciation of "romance" ( P )
Pronunciation Key (r-mns, rmns)
n.

1.
1. A love affair.
2. Ardent emotional attachment or involvement
between people; love: They kept the romance alive in their
marriage for 35 years.
3. A strong, sometimes short-lived attachment,
fascination, or enthusiasm for something: a childhood
romance with the sea.
2. A mysterious or fascinating quality or appeal, as of
something adventurous, heroic, or strangely beautiful:
“These fine old guns often have a romance clinging to
them” (Richard Jeffries).

3.
1. A long medieval narrative in prose or verse
that tells of the adventures and heroic exploits of
chivalric heroes: an Arthurian romance.

2. A long fictitious tale of heroes and
extraordinary or mysterious events, usually set in a distant
time or place.
3. The class of literature constituted by such
tales.
4.

film, that deals with sexual love, especially in an
idealized form.
2. The class or style of such works.

facts.
6. Music. A lyrical, tender, usually sentimental song or
short instrumental piece.
7. Romance The Romance languages.

so you can see that a cheap porn groove is not the same as
an epic story or a love of another time. romance is a much
better word than most people give it credit for.

i agree wholeheartedly!

i think "2. A mysterious or fascinating quality or appeal,
as of
something adventurous, heroic, or strangely beautiful" is
the closest to what i want..i'd prefer it to be downtempo
though.

"eels - beautiful freak"

> http://www.eelstheband.com/uncle6.asp:

Dear Uncle E,
My current girlfriend believes that I am gay because I would
rather be working on my music than having sexual intercourse
with her. Although she denies it, I believe that her
disbelief in my heterosexuality stems not from my devotion
to my music, but from my choice of instrument. I have
learned through experience that girls do not find keyboard
players as sexy as guitarists. She also finds it "weird and
kinda creepy" that I choose to play BEAUTIFUL FREAK on
repeat every time we engage in our aforementioned
intercourse.

Help me, Uncle E. Should I kick this girl to the curb and
start searching for another? She's very pretty and likes
playing video games, so I'd hate to see her go. On the other
hand, she always kicks my ass at Mario Kart in front of my
roommates, which I find vaguely emasculating

Thanks,
I



Dear I,
First of all, let me say how flattered Uncle E is to hear
that you like to make sweet love to BEAUTIFUL FREAK. This is
an honor I hold dear, no matter how creepy. It's true that
the keyboardists don't "score" with the ladies like the
guitar players do. Of course, there are exceptions... Ray
Charles... Jerry Lee Lewis... me.... Well, I play guitar,
too, and Ray Charles also plays the saxophone, and we all
know the ladies can't resist a good sax solo. Anyway, I know
it must be hard to find a video game-playing babe, but she
needs to know one very important thing upfront if she is
going to continue to make sweet and creepy love with you:
You are married to Rock, first and foremost. Everything, and
I mean EVERYTHING else comes second. If she is willing to
take a back seat to Lady Rock, then you just get back to
rocking the best way you can, even if it is on a keyboard.
If she can't understand this, it's time to move on.




...

you know, i would find it weird and kinda creepy too.
