I rolled out Night Train To Nashville (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B0001DMWFW/103-1695627-5588655?v=glance) at a BBQ last weekend and people totally loved it. 38 tracks, 2.5 hours of the history of R&B.

Wow. That looks happenin'.

Oddly enough, I've thrown these two discs (three discs actually since "Pirates" is a 2CD set) of Senegalese music in the player at a lot of parties and they've always gone over quite well. They're a decent sized band with guitar, bass, drums, percussion, multiple vocalists and small number of horns.

How did we get this far without mentioning the single greatest summertime song --

Len - Steal My Sunshine

How cool is this group?
Do we need to list cool music or popular music?
What kind of feel are we going for.
Are we dancing, ormerely throwing beer out on the table to see who ends up making out?
Is the boss coming?

Beach Boys -- Good Vibrations (obviously, maybe just put in Pet Sounds, if you have it.)

[Ghost]

Some more

Dandy Warhols -- We Used to be Friends; Bohemian Like You; Everyday Should be a Holiday
St. Etienne - Erica America
The Cardigans - Your New Cuckoo
Yo La Tengo - You Can Have It All
Pixies - Alec Eiffel, Allison, Here Comes Your Man
Name any Beck song other than Lost Cause and Nobody's Fault but my Own

And of course

Joy Division - New Dawn Fades

I hope you realize that last one is a joke.

I took a look at this when obie first posted it and ordered the cd. It's totally good stuff. My only "trouble" is I made the mistake of listening to it here in the office and am getting next to zero work done because it's too damned fun to treat as background music. Anyway, thanks obie.

Fantastic Day - Haircut 100
