Rinse. Lather. Repeat. Rinse. Lather. Listen. Repeat.

It's been the same old weekday routine. Things feel dull again, but it could be the weather. If it's going to be cold, raingy and gloomy all day, I'd rather see some snow.

I did eat an apple on the train after work, but that is not much different from the norm. I was thinking about doing some work from home, but I've wasted the last hour listening to my recent samplings. So many horns:

Man Child - I have this on vinyl, but I needed something I can turn into compact disc...Especially the first track.

Secrets - I have yet to listen to this. There's no such thing as funk overload.

Future Shock - I don't like how a lot of the big jazz artists from the 60's and 70's tried to evolve into the cheezy 1980's synth sounds (opinions are all relative to time, mind you). The big hit on this album is great, but the rest meekly attempts to mix classic sounds with technology. It's a hard listen.

Maiden Voyage - See a pattern here? I don't. Piano. Enough said.

The Great Summit: The Master Takes - Just like a 1970's supergroup except it was recorded in 1961...and instead of creating lame new material, they went back and busted through Duke Ellington's hits. It's essential to own if you ask me.

Dance of the Drunken Master - Pretty good funk if you ignore the songs that make you feel like you're watching the Weather Channel.

Interstellar Space - One of these days, I'm going to sit down and listen to an entire 'jazz work.' I don't think I get it yet.

Djangology - At this point, I'm overloading. I'll catch this one in the future.

I also sampled an MF Doom/Madlib album that I can't find listed for sale anywhere and and few other things on the way. I'll sort this all out in the next few days. End Post.
