On Tap at The Lounge

It started as funny emails with the Monkey and I sharing picts of our beverage of choice for a weekend evening. I thought it might be even funnier to share these picts here in the recurring feature I started a couple weeks ago dubbed "On Tap at The Lounge."

Just so you know, it's not all fun and games here at The Lounge. It was sunny and in the 60s today so I did some work in the backyard. It definitely feels like Spring has sprung early here. After the yard work and some clean up, Lago and I ventured over to the Total Wine to restock The Lounge.

Beer:
Carlsberg - Copenhagen, Denmark
Anchor Steam - San Francisco, Calif.

Wine:
King Estate Pinot Gris 2004 - Eugene, Oregon
Martin Ray Pinot Noir 2005 - Santa Rosa, Calif.
Clos Du Val Chardonnay 2004 - Napa, Cailf.


As you can see from the picts we have some Casillero del Diablo Chardonnay left from last evening. Believe it or not, I've never had a Carlsberg. They're good, I think they taste like Becks, another fav. The Martin Ray is a new one for us. They had some open for a free tasting at the store. Lago tried it and liked it.

Speaking of what's On Tap, the Lounge jukebox just went from Eric Clapton's "Sweet Home Chicago" to The Violent Femmes "Add It Up." Has anyone seen this, a new Wendy's commercial features a Femmes tune - I feel truly old.

Of course the jukebox just now slid into DMB's "Grey Street" - Salut!

New Woodside Lounge

Opened up the new Woodside Lounge yesterday. For those of you who have visited in the past, this room is at the front of the house but many times went unnoticed by visitors as it was closed off and used as storage. The new Woodside Lounge has its own TV, even though it's around the corner from the theater room. It just goes without saying, all lounges must have a TV for sporting events. I believe it's in the building code. Music is served up from the stereo system currently residing in the dining room, but I'm thinking of moving it to the Lounge. Today I went streakin'! Remember, use that sunblock out there. - Salud!

Summer Mix 2007

I probably should give this over the weekend to think about it, because there are three songs not included in this year's Summer Mix that I've been flip-flopping over. The mix just seems very tight and I can't fit the songs in without repeating the "essence," "groove" or beat of another song. I think the mixes for me work best when they flow and take you from one place to another musically without beating you over the head with the same style. Another thing I like to do with the Summer Mix is incorporate the old alongside the new. I hate to put two old songs back to back, or should I say two songs from the same era back to back. Now as you look at my mix you'll see some old songs next to other old songs. I guess it's not a hard and fast rule for me, but I try to at least jump a decade between two old songs. Like last year I kept the sound effects to a minimum, using a mix I created of beach sounds for the opening and a crickets sound effect for ...
