[John_P_WI]

Monday morning wake-up tune from Rival Sons, great, classic / old rock n roll vibe... Too bad the haters are saying it is nothing but a zep copy...

Whats your wake-up mojo???

[Reeltarded]

King's X umm some several but everybody knows a little bit at least three times.

"I Want A Proper Cup Of Coffee Made In A Proper Copper Coffee Pot" - it's a rarely heard hoot, Google says Trout Fishing in America (hey Brautigan fans!) but I don't know if they were the originators.

"Java Jive" by the Inkspots @ 1940.

On Sundays, "Alan's Psychedelic Breakfast" Pink Floyd. I think Alan's making tea on there, you can hear the kettle whistling and water gurgling into the pot. Even better if you have a little something extra to go with it.

Anything from Jim Weider's "Project Percolator", there's a wake up call.

Had too much, overamped on caffeine? Try Tony Levin's "Espresso & the Bed of Nails" featuring his own Gaggia. It's on TL's World Diary, and the liner notes say this version is an edit of a longer piece. Caffeine takes a while to wear off don't it.

And I'll wind up with an oldie but goodie, J S Bach "Coffee Cantata". The black poison was popular back then too. How do you think he wrote all that good stuff, while fathering 21 kids? Whoo-eeee! Pass the coffee here please!

Leo, always a pleasure to read your posts with humor and thought.

Miles, good choice - along that line off to the espresso machine for another double shot - I hate Mondays, or any other morning I'm at work for that matter...

Thanks for the compliment John_P, I appreciate that very much!

More of a Sunday thing for me, a little PF UmmaGumma suite works wonders. How Do You Feel, Fat Old Sun then Alan's Psychedelic Breakfast. Fat Old Sun has a great early Dave Gilmour solo in it, a hint of things to come. A little further on, Jethro Tull "This Was", their brilliant first album with Mick Abrahams on guitar. Starts with My Sunday Feeling, how appropriate. There's unusual instruments like 9-string guitar and claghorn too. What a way to start a Sunday. By that time I got some chow in me, I'm done looking at TAG for a while & it's time to plug in the soldering iron.

1. Joe Pass & Ella Fitzgerald - Duets in Hannover 1975
2. Wes Montgomery Live in '65
3. David Gilmour - On an island

Gotta have something mellow with Sunday morning coffee after Saturday night rocking out.

[eniam rognab]

depends on my mood...

sad - Tom Waits, falling down

happy - Trampled by Turtles (new-grass) - new album Wild Animals

[Leo_Gnardo]

Now it's Tuesday, I'm catching up with the Monday morning mood.

Add to your jitters, spin Mahavishnu Orchestra "The Inner Mounting Flame."

The Noonward Rush - what's that if not a strong caffeine dose.

Follow with MO's moment in Central ParK "Between Nothingess and Eternity" and if that's not enough, the brilliant and crazed "Love Surrender Devotion" collaboration with McLaughlin and Santana.

Even more, with the subcontinental rhythm aces, Shakti, any and all of their albums. Those Bangladeshis will rock you sideways.

You'll feel like you stuck your head in a running cement mixer.

Miles Davis, "In a Silent Way". Or Chick Corea "Spain"
Good wake me up music

[Ken Moon]

Sipping fresh ground Ethiopian coffee on the back porch, with Eat a Peach playing in the background, is heaven to me

Dang, that's much too demanding in the early morning. I just did a very welcome mug of American joe w/ a 1X Mellita here in espresso-land with this playing. Reckon I'm homesick.

Blues is good in the AM, helps you out the door w/ some fortitude.

[John_P_WI]

All good choices guys. Been awake since 3 am, starting the day to a little Overnight sensation and Apostrophe' from Zappa. Thanks Leo for mentioning "I am the slime" in another thread... Uncle Remus, Cosmik Debris and Nanook are the standouts sloooowly getting things started today, still sounds great 40 years later. Suddenly I'm hungry for pancakes

That is a great record.
One of the formative records for me as a player.
Buddy Guy's playing and sound, and Jack Myers and Bill Warren as a rhythm
section are terrific, Junior is a genius.
Snatch It Back, and You Don't Love Me, what a sound, great style.

Slather 'em with stolen margareen. That stuff is too funny, if I listened to it coffee would be spurting out my nose.

"Don't go where the huskies go, don't you eat that yellow snow." What a howl! Ow Ow Ah-WOOOOOOOOOOOO!

I'm the Slime, what a proper indictment of "the vast wasteland." Who could imagine, Frank Zappa and Newton Minow in full agreement. Minow IIRC was in charge of FCC for much of the 60's, and the tour boat in Gilligan's Island was named after him.
