We call this place "The Lounge"

[kentauros]

So why are so few of us fans of "lounge music"?
Maybe we should rename this place "The Old Hippy Lounge" from the music choices that pop up the most :P

So, just to give y'all an idea of what constitutes lounge-music, here are some sites I recommend for finding it directly and indirectly (meaning you'll have to look at the downloads or links section.) There's more out there than I could ever put in one post, so it's time to explore! :D

2. That was great!

:D

And a great example of how Lounge has made a comeback and people are creating new Lounge music. And then there's the remixing of the old cuts, such as the following:

Lawrence Welk - Champagne Time (Rithma Remix)

6. That was brilliant!

17. At my favorite dive bar in this area, the night bartender is this tiny wisp....

.
.
.
...of a hot-tempered ASSKICKER (I've seen her come OVER the
bar and kick a big biker out of the joint -- actually he
looked pretty sheepish and embarassed at the prospect of
getting physical with such a little bitty thing and went
along quite complacently).
.
.
.
One of the best things she does is when she comes in to take
over about 6 PM... doesn't make it halfway to the bar before
she shouts, "LAST CALL -- EVERYBODY GET THE FUCK OUT!!!!!"
.
.
.
Never failed to make me laugh when I witnessed that.

11. I kind of remember that game.

Never played it though. Seems like it could do with a re-build for modern machines. Or turn it into an arcade machine for bars :P


And, ya gotta have drinks to go with that suit:



I would actually like to get this book, too:)
I know so little about mixed drinks.

12. Apparently there's a 2009 edition

13. Looks like they've excised the "leisure suit"

and turned him into a x- or y-gen dude. Typical.

I see it got lousy ratings, too. What's wrong with keeping the original plot and background? Retro is in; go with that!
