Coffee Shops and Music

<< < (8/16) > >>

pilsner:
Giant Steps is my favorite album of Coltrane's and probably one of the most significant jazz albums ever released.

As for playlists along the AiH/BSS/etc. vein, I'd suggest you start with something resembling the below playlist, which is a part of a playlist I created for myself a while ago.  I'd be happy to identify and further describe any of the bands you might not be familiar with.  I could suggest additional songs for almost every band I mention, but I've tried to restrict myself to four per band.  The biggest problem with a playlist like the below is that people particularly into the genre, like myself, might never leave the coffee shop, thereby causing a fire hazard.

Liz:
I would hang out in that coffee shop just for the music. Gooood playlist, especially Stars, Iron & Wine, and Moloko.

pilsner:
Thanks :)  Frankly with Stars you could play the entire In Our Bedroom After The War album over and over again and very few would mind (If you're waiting to listen to it post-release, it drops Sept 25).  There is plenty of awesome stuff on the forthcoming Iron & Wine album, The Shepherd's Dog but I haven't heard it in its entirety on a good fidelity copy yet so I'm holding back on suggesting anything (also released Sept 25).

KharBevNor:
Cafes playing music? What? Open a bar.

Tokuma:
Pilsner, thanks for the list. Scanning through it I think I have most of those songs. I will definitely look up the others though.
