Sex and Music

Post by frommy »

Hello, this is Frommy, reporting from beautiful downtown Schenectedy. This is town in upstate New York reknown for its Bulgarian immigrants, one of which is I. It is nice here.

This bulletin board is very impressive. I have been spending many hours reading many fascinating contributions. I also like the excellent stories written by Mr McCutcheon and by Mr Ooh Sloth although sometimes I find him (Mr Sloth) too drug-influenced, but I appreciate that he tries to write as much about sex as he is possible.

I notice that a guy brought up the subject of sex and music some time ago and I thought this could be a topic to which I might be allowed to make a humble contribution. Back in Sofia, sometimes I played records at the sex night club, the Ai Vinkula Sdrovneche, and the owners wanted me to make very educated selections of course.

Actually, it is very stupid topic, because obviously the only useful sexy music is music the woman (or the man, if you are a woman!) likes to listen to when experiencing the act of love. So you only have to ask, is it not right?

On the other hand, perhaps the esteemed readers have experienced this situation:

"Hey strong man, that feels good. But how about some music?"

"Yeah sure wife with lips like honey, what would you like to hear?"

"Whatever you like, hugely talented lover, you decide."

... Then you take frantic look through the pile of cds, and say "Aha: let's try this nice old Blur record".

But despite your efforts get only unhappy look from your beloved partner in physical union.

"Aww, not that kind of music, you know...?"

Two more tries, and then the evening is unluckily shot and you are now a certified super bumbler. Unless: the woman is super nice *and* in very good mood. (In that case, can you give me her telephone number if she lives in New York? Thank you!)

I am sorry if this topic is boring or if my stupid little selection is no good. Please, I am no Bozo, I wish to please and learn. Please tell me what you think. Thank you, and have a nice day. Frommy


* * *

Super Music to Make Love to Your Old Lady By:

- Dusty Trails: Dusty Trails (sexy singers, really)
- Timo Maas: Loud (nice mix)
- Belle & Sebastian: Just about anything, of course
- Coltrane: "A Love Supreme" (if it's gonna be jazz, it better "fucking" be good) (sorry for the strong language but in Bulgaria we speak like this)
- Bird With Strings (ibid)
- Clifford Brown w/Strings (ibid again)
- Air: Virgin Suicides OST (this means original sound track I think, so it is music to a cinema)
- Fun Lovin Criminals: (Just about anything. I like them very much. As they say, "gives you more endurance than inna gadda da vida")
- While we're at it: Planet Groove: Huey. (This 2 CD set is what makes the FLC's Huey tick, they say)
- Tom McRae: Tom McRae. (Strangely persuasive, even though some people say it is wussy)
- John Carpenter: Escape From New York OST (Eerie and not for timid spirits but great. I think New York is not like this.)
- Doors: Strange Days (but only if you two have smoked enough chronic which I think is illegal in many places)
- Bob Dylan: Good As I Been to You (unless your partner has a problem with Dylan, in which case I say: good bye!)
- Frank Black and the Catholics: Dog in the Sand (Pixies fanclub in Sofia was very strong even though their music was not sexy. Lately however Charles Thompson is much gained that certain touch...).
- George McCrea: Rock Me Baby (falsetto is sexy! The 70s were sexy!)
- Hot Chocolate: Best Of (stupid! but sexy)
- Isaac Hayes: Shaft
- Boss Hogg: White Out (Rawks! Better than Cramps for intimate atmosphere)
- Lee Scratch Perry: Reggae Greats (from the king of dangerous ganja music)


*Not* good music to make love to your old lady by:
(I tried it and it didn't work. Profit from my uncomfortable experiences, if you like, dear reader, or ignore at your own risk.)

- Strokes: Strokes. (It got on her nerves! Just didn't work, surprisingly! Who knows why?)
- Lovage: Music to Make Love to Your Old Lady By (nice record; surprisingly useless for creating good ambience)
- Tom Jones: anything at all. Jesus our Saviour, just look at his hair!
- Portishead: hysterical singing. creepy
- Barry White: this is music for anorexics!
- Tony Bennett: nice but makes you feel old, unless you are Italian. Are you Italian?
- Biggi Smalls and all the other misogynist rappers (unless your woman thinks lyrics like "i like my hos with big tits and fat asses / educated, so i can bust off on they glasses" are sexy and not merely funny)
- Mary Poppins OST (unless you are a pervert. Don't be a pervert!)
- Fat Boy Slim, Propellerheads (over-owned, over-partied, even here in Schenectedy)

Thank you for reading all the way to end!

I agree frommy, the music is all relative, but so is everything. My one and only recommendation would be Bessie Smith's Need a Little Sugar in my Bowl -- and this is for initiating the good stuff.
It has to be the least contrived, hilariously fun song of all lovin' songs -- to me.

Frommy,

I used to think was music was boring. I used to think drugs were boring. I used to think sex was boring too. But now I know better. It's Gestalt theory. The sum of the parts is more than the whole.

danke Gott für Max Wertheimer!

Merci a Dieu pour la decadence!

Long live sloth!
