I love making music lists for my media player. Tonight's list was simply titled "Friday Night" and heavily influenced from younger days, cruising around while listening to the radio during the '70s and early '80s.

A sample can be found on my last.fm page 'recent tracks'. My name there is the same here.

"Caravan" - Tak Shindo

I'm listening to the 1959 album "Brass and Bamboo", which combines big band music with Japanese instruments. It's a bit kitschy, but since when is that a bad thing? I'm thinking of checking out more of those mid-century exotica albums.

"Flamingo" - Tak Shindo

There they are again! Those wordless female vocalists who were everywhere during the late-1950s/early-1960s! I wonder if any of them are still alive...

"Race Day Rag" - Southern Jazz Group

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TVBzpfubecc

These guys were indeed from the south....south Australia. They seem to have been popular in Adelaide. They existed from the late-1940s to the early 1950s. It is often forgotten that Australia had a jazz scene back then.

"The Wizard of Odds" - Alan Thicke

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RdxaqliKWXw

Theme song to the 1970s game show. Unfortunately, almost every episode of the series is lost. I'd like to see the sole surviving episode. Hey, it was hosted by Alex Trebek, it can't be all bad.

"All She Gets from the Iceman is ice" - Edward M. Favor

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ymVbSrChPGI

Recorded and released in 1908.

Just to explain: Back before the 1920s, people did not have refrigerators in their homes. But they had a wooden cabinet called an "icebox", in which a large block of ice would be placed, and help keep food cool. The "iceman" was the man who regularly brought ice to the people's homes.

There is footage, both "real life" and in Hollywood films, depicting the iceman, but I can't find any on YouTube.

'The Trigger Complex' album - T.S.O.L.

'Lonesome Bulldog' - The Warlocks [ 'Songs from the Pale Eclipse']

Re: Last Song/Music To Which You Listened &/or Recommendations?

Some other songs I listened to during the last 12 hours:

"Wishing (If I Had a Photograph of You)" - A Flock of Seagulls
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=opkzgLMH5MA
In fact, in the UK this was a much bigger hit than "I Ran".

"Summer of '81" - Mondo Rock
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-4QA48bgYrc
Catchy 1980s song which is really about being nuked (the songwriter said so).

"1-2-3" - Len Barry
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Qs697_KzOQ
A catchy 1960s hit.

"2nd Regiment Connecticut National Guard march" - Indestructible Military Band
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JTWjsm407A4
1908 recording, seen in the video being played on a vintage cylinder record player.

"Showing Out (Get Fresh at the Weekend)" - Mel & Kim
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=14b-BASNVdI
1980s disposable dance-pop, but well-done of its kind

"Pour Some Sugar on Me" - Def Leppard
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3e2fSRhgSWc
It's a nice song, but the lyrics are a bit peculiar

"Anona" - Henry Burr (issued 1903 or 1904)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BEtGpaht4q0
Henry Burr help start the long tradition of Canadian artists who left Canada to find fame in the US. However, he did return to Canada on occasion to make recordings there, so unlike some others, he did not forget where he came from. I love his voice, and the arrangement in this recording is charmingly simple (just a piano to accompany him), but the lyrics and melody are both very poor. How it became such a huge hit is beyond me.

Re: Last Song/Music To Which You Listened &/or Recommendations?

Some other songs (and instrumentals) I listened to during the last 14 hours:

"Crimson & Clover" - Tommy James & The Shondells
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cIXjSZwUSDE
Excellent song, strange (but good) video.

"Judy in Disguise (with Glasses)" - John Fred & His Playboy Band
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kuEO1dt_FAI

"Dreaming" - Henry Burr
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cvgifve2k6Y
Issued 1908. Popular song. Disclaimer: this is my own YouTube video

"Just One Word of Consolation" - Henry Burr
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O4seedsArnw
Released May 1908. Popular song. Disclaimer: this is my own YouTube video

"Twelfth Street Rag" - Winifred Atwell
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yzjp-dtXstI
The uploader IVORIESMAN on YouTube offers us a video of the record spinning around and around. This is a piano instrumental. Winifred Atwell was hugely popular in the 1950s in the UK. She may have been the first black woman to have her own show on British television.

"Johnson Rag" - Winifred Atwell
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=InMj7uQL3RQ
Also on the IVORIESMAN YouTube channel

"Russian Rag" - Winifred Atwell
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QRUqRCJtWN8.
Yet another piano instrumental, again from the IVORIESMAN channel.

"Bumble Boogie" - Winifred Atwell
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NaIEXZcaKFo
This "IVORIESMAN" guy has well-made videos showing the record spinning around and around and around.....

"Boogie in the Groove" - Winifred Atwell
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jIfefZbyEVM
More piano music, well-done, but the video itself is not up the usual high standards of "IVORIESMAN"

"Vine Street Boogie" - Winifred Atwell
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s9NiVKsnlPU
I love this woman!

"Jimmy Dorsey's Boogie" - Winifred Atwell
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rqCDAE7hHLg

Re: Last Song/Music To Which You Listened &/or Recommendations?

Yet more recordings I listened to during the last 14 hours. I'll find as many of them as possible on YouTube and link to them. This isn't always possible. Sometimes the song isn't on YouTube or is only on there with poor sound.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oF-UkXhce8o
Issued 1905. The video by "Tim Gracyk" features lots of cool historical photos.

Issued 1906. More great historical photos.

"Bold Front March" - Edison Military Band
