You see, I’ve been thinking the same thing and all I can come up with is that they induce the Funky Wiggle (a.k.a. the Monkey Groove) - that timeless shimmy shammy of the rumpus that wraps its stringy fingers around the listener. If you’re not doing the wiggle, that either means you needs to let some looseness going on, or, you’re a Bobble Header, which is cool! It’s cool! And I’m not talking about the kind of spastic bobble you see on the dashboards of old Chevys rumbling down gravel roads. No, I’m talking about something smooth and syrupy. Respect to all my Bobble Head freaks!

Impact: Eventually gave birth to its off-spring: nu jazz, nu-funk and trip hop.]]> http://theneave.com/playlist-acid-jazz/feed/ 0 http://theneave.com/playlist-candlelit-jazz/ http://theneave.com/playlist-candlelit-jazz/#comments Wed, 25 Aug 2010 00:06:22 +0000 Kat Kiddles http://theneave.com/?p=30910 “And...if perhaps...by chance”, she says as she coyly mimics the hummingbird’s mating dance with the fluttering of her lashes, “you feel inspired to pair this music with a little French lace, some Italian leather, maybe a sprinkling of Caspian caviar and a decadent dollop of homemade truffle, I won’t stop you.” Curling up the corners of her glossy lips, she tilts her chin down as she innocently looks up at you, expectantly, hopefully.]]> http://theneave.com/playlist-candlelit-jazz/feed/ 0 http://theneave.com/playlist-meditation/ http://theneave.com/playlist-meditation/#comments Wed, 18 Aug 2010 04:10:13 +0000 Kat Kiddles http://theneave.com/?p=30832 Technically, you’re not supposed to need it. Technically, you’re supposed to be able to float a couple inches off the ground in a state of pure tranquility, pulse idle with no need for breath, all the while remaining completely unaffected by the external world. Technically, that’s what you’re supposed to do. The thing is, I’m human and each time I weigh myself, I’m reminded of the cruel joke gravity plays on me. I seem to have an obsessive attachment to breathing, and I thought getting my heart to pump faster was good for me.]]> http://theneave.com/playlist-meditation/feed/ 0 http://theneave.com/playlist-guitar-hero/ http://theneave.com/playlist-guitar-hero/#comments Wed, 11 Aug 2010 01:35:02 +0000 Kat Kiddles http://theneave.com/?p=29896 Think beer commercial.
