I Don't Think I'm Gonna Last Very Much Longer

After another long break, the Cuddle is back, sweltering in some of the hottest weather we've seen here in Buffalo in July in ages. The entire East Coast seems mired in this heat wave, and what better way to celebrate sweating to death just breathing than an Ideological Cuddle Mix Tape. This means to be a series of mixes based on Summer themes. What better way to start than...

Shhh/Peaceful

It's nights like this that quiet the mind. Indian summer night, less traffic than usual, gentle breeze blowing through the half-opened windows. Nights like this make my ears pine for hushed, reserved jazz. The best way to appreciate it? Definitely on vinyl... the sound is just soooo warm. I freely admit to being a slave to the digital age, having shelves full of CDs, and a hard drive full of MP3s. Lately, I just feel the need to seek out more and more on classic wax... not that this, by any means, is a new venture for me... let's just say that I'm re-committing myself to the search...

Finding a beautiful vinyl copy of John Coltrane's Blue Trane today intensified my need for some peaceful, serene jazz. Enjoy these Indian summer nights... and this mix...
