I thought it was Damien Rice at first, until I realised thhe full horror of the situation. Bossa Nova sounds good.....I had the choice of the above or Reo Speedwagon., That's once I got over the embarrassmant of looking through their record collection in an effort to find something I could accept.

I think I often put on some Low if I win over my better half - maybe some Maria McKee or Neko Case. If she wins then it's Norah Jones. Any Pixies is forbidden however.

For dinners with friends I prefer mellow background music that doesn't interfere with the conversation, such as Ryan Adams, Damien Rice, Nick Drake or Carla Bruni. Honeycomb works as well.

Going sort of with floop, I'd say In Flames.

I used to like the Nora Jones record but now it reminds me of cheesy restaurants. On the bossanova side, Gilberto Gil is nice. Also Nick Drake´s Bryter Layter, Tom Waits Heart of Saturday Night or Nighthawks at the Diner, David Byrne, Mills Brothers, Billie Holiday.

If you get drunk enough it won't matter.
Miles Davis's Birth of the Cool or Kind of Blue or if more daring Solo Monk by Thelonious Monk. |

I always think something without lyrics is good if I'm going to be there because if I get bored I will sing along. Badly.

I've used Kind Of Blue before now. Most of my friends are stupid though, it's not worth trying interesting music on them.

Here are a few albums that have gone over well for dinner parties I have hosted.
Manu Chauo - Clandstino (great for summer parties)
Charlie Hunter - Songs from Analog Playground (great when you don't know the musical tastes of all your guests..Charlie doesn't offend anyone)
St. Germain - Tourist (great for background sound) |
