Dua Lipa - Dance the Night Away

She's getting better and better and better.

Best in the world.

They added that to my work radio playlist and I'm still not sick of it. I can't help grooving even if I'm checking out a customer when it comes on.

Bet the third album is shit and I'm going to look very silly after all the fuss I've been making.

Oh well, I'll still take her to Pizza Hut.

I feel you, if she put out a real stinker album It would definitely break my heart.

Big Dumb Face - Duke Lion

[jimmy jazz]

There used to be a TV show here called Balls of Steel which was a prank style TV show. One of the acts was a man called The Big Gay Following who would proposition men asking if they fancied a bum.

This song was used during one of his segments one week:

I absolutely love it.

This is kryptonite. Just makes me melt away.

Modern Sound Quartet - Chartreuse

Been listening to the whole Cocktail Bar lately - I like it very much.  Great background/library music (although I'm not overly fond of that term).
Now sipping some "Vodka" 🍸 (although my favorite is also "Chartreuse).

This is extremely up my alley! Might have to put it on while I'm making dinner tonight.

^ That would be great, Lex!  It's nice cooking music for sure.   

Something about this music reminds me of my favorite Morricone soundtrack, to the Dargento film Il Gatto a Nove Code.

Great that both of you @ribbons and @Mrs. Waffles have been listening to Cocktail Bar 
Over the years I've learnt to fully embrace the term "background music" and its close cousins Hotel Lobby, Call Centre Holding, and Elevator. I'm now quite at ease to talk about it in public! Hehe.

Pharrell Williams and Rick Rubin did an interview a few years back where PW talks about the feeling one gets from hearing an unknown tune in an elevator and he tries to remember it and back engineer the chords (the coordinates) when he gets home. Beautiful stuff.

And yes, the Italian and Italian American film composers have written so many beautiful scores. I tend to go for the gritty crime themes such as Armando Trovaioli's "Blazing Magnum" or Stelvio Cipriani's "La Polizia Sta A Guardare" but on the subject of love, Piero Piccioni's "Endless Love" is really nice

[ribbons]

^ I absolutely adore Piccioni's work and the whole Colpo Rovente soundtrack - and "Endless Love" happens to be my favorite composition by him.  Very moving, with that delicate undercurrent of jazziness.  It's bound to be stuck in my head this evening!  Thanks for posting.   

I also need to look up that Pharrell Williams and Rick Rubin interview - sounds very interesting!
