Hey Tony! Thanks in advance for the Tomita trib....."Snowflakes Are Dancing" was required listening back in the day...and still is, in fact! |
![]() |
![]() Hey, James! This French comp I'll be featuring today ("Rien Ni Personne") is a child of May -- it was released on May 22nd. |
![]() |
![]() Hola, VP!! |
![]() |
![]() Snowflakes Are Dancing - a friend of mine pointed out that album contained the track 'Arabesque No 1' - which was the music for Jack Horkheimer and his Star Hustler TV show. Hi Tony, hi everyone! |
![]() |
![]() @ V Priceless: Tomita will be sprinkled throughout the show, like sonic seasoning. |

Dean:
As much as I loved Snowflakes, I was a real sucker for Tomita's Holst, Mussourgsky, and Stravinsky albums. The same year as "Planets" Patrick Gleeson released an electronic version. I had both, played both, but can't recall which I preferred. It'd be fun to hear them both back-to-back track-by-track (or synaurally). | |
![]() |
![]() The French stuff likewise will only be sprinkled throughout -- but enough to heavily flavor the stock. |
![]() |
![]() I heard Tomita's The Planets a lot. My husband and I used to call him "Tomato" |

![]() Heya, Cecile! |

![]() There's a tiny bit of Zappa in this Torke piece, methinks. Torke wrote it when he was 23 and still in music school. |
![]() |
![]() thanks. I had a blast. Now I'm kind of recovering. |

Have a pickled egg and a shell of lager for me, Cecile. |
![]() |
![]() I think my Salsoul Orchestra LP collection is limited to their Christmas Albums. |
![]() |
![]() I will probably have a shell, and some devilled eggs. |

Yo Tony! Is that French comp contempo or retro sounds? (Or both?) | |
![]() |
![]() This is *not* how I remember the Firebird Suite ... ;-p |
![]() |
![]() Heya, MrFab! Contempo -- but with a good smattering of experimental/industrial-type artists who've been around since the '80s. |
![]() |
![]() Newer stuff by them, I mean.... |
Tue. 5/31/16 12:28pm

At least one local eatery now offers several choices. Go figure. I should look into that. |

Had a wonderful fritatta (well, a tortilla) yesterday at a pot luck. I'm thinking a "secret" for deviled eggs might be Worcestshire-related... | |
![]() |
![]() So, I don't normally shill for labels and push specific releases on you, but, still, I should mention this: "Rien Ni Personne," in all its 9-hour glory, is available for free (name your price) on bandcamp: nostalgiedelaboue.bandcamp.com... |

Spanish smoked paprika is nice. Not a typical "smoked" flavor. Subtle and rich. Deep carmine color, too. |

![]() I don't know, but my dad used to go to a cloister of a (mostly) silent order of nuns every year for their annual reception, and the only cake they would serve would be angel food. |

Yeth, βrian. Lo thiento, thee. Capers? (I know. It is and shall remain a secret.) | |

MrFab:
Wow, Beat Happening. Hello, 80s college rock! That caused a bit of a flashback: Do I have any papers due tomorrow? | |
Tue. 5/31/16 12:57pm
Dean:
I slipped two or three anchovies (and capers!) into the marinade for the butcher steak I grilled yesterday. Wife had no idea, and the steak was superb. Now I have to figure out ways to use the rest of the anchovies in the jar. A Bolognese, for sure. Hmmm, maybe deviled eggs? | |
![]() |

Tue. 5/31/16 12:58pm

Perhaps a pissaladière, Dean? |
![]() |
![]() that would work. Worchestershire sauce is anchovy based so it makes sense. |
Tue. 5/31/16 1:01pm
Dean:
I'd love it but nobody else in the house would. I wake up mornings craving pasta with anchovies and olives. One of the very best dishes I've had over the years in otherwise overrated Bay Area restaurants is Cesar's "matrimonios," grilled anchovies served on toasts with aioli. Luscious. | |
Tue. 5/31/16 1:03pm
Dean:
I put Worcestshire in my mac 'n' cheese, and once I had to apologize that as a result it wasn't quite vegetarian. Not sure I'd put anchovies in it, though. | |
![]() |
![]() Making anchovy sauces w/ capers, smoked ground chillies (+ other ingredients) w/ pasta is one of my favorite things to make. Asian fish sauces and Worcestershire figure prominently in many dishes as well. |
