I just somehow got away from posting, but I have had a lot of requests recently and figured I better get back around here and post the playlists. Plus I promised Lynn that I would so here you go: The mixes are not specific to the evening, Renan and Juslyn are in charge of picking the mix for the night, and they like some more than others...the Tuesday (a Medd inspired blend of several great alb...

Track:Etta James
This playlist is based on some of my new favorites and some old favorites, I like the way the older Etta James goes with Trainwreck DeLuxe Amy Winehouse, And fantastic retro soul kats Orgone, -of California- whose The Killion Floor appears all through the early evening music. There's also some new funk and soul sound from Spain, The Pinker Tones which I highly reccommend. The beginning of this ...

Well its Friday Night and We are back open, we actually opened last night, but with only half the staff, many not home from "home" on the mainland. The storm, while scary as hell, was sparing with us here on Ambergris Caye. The wind was soooo loud where we stayed, a luxury suite at Victoria House--that each time it blew hard, I imagined my roof peeling off. But in the morning, I worked up the c...

Track:Gaganbadiba
When Jen and I first moved here, we lived where Perla Escondida is now in a little cabana. We left the windows open at night and as we lay in bed one night, I heard drums ..not a drum kit but the sounds of ancient drums--then the call and response of a small but raukus group singing to the drums. I looked over in the dark and said, "Can you hear that?" ""Yeah," Jen said..."lets go investigate!"...

So, If you miss me on the streets, its because I am up in the den playing Scarface (PS2) Excuse: I have a sore throat and cannot possibly work.My only wish is that I could somehow jack my ipod into the TV so that the hours of senseless killing and maiming (and smuggling) could have a soundtrack of my own design.

Track:The Sound of the Memory
A brief Moment to remember a man who did as much for rap as an art form as any in the pantheon of rap gods. To truly appreciate lyricism and rhythm one must reach for the words that build that foundation of a great spoken riffing line.His work is built around the texture and sound of jazz, Afro-Carribean beat, funk, and the blues often referecing John Coltrane and Miles Davis. An inspiring figu...

I know I have been negligent about posting what we’re playing recently, I hope this will be helpful. More diligence will follow, just been making more mojitos and martinis than CD mixes of late.The evenings around here have been dominated by just a few great CD’s recently, so if you are here to see what it was you heard while you where here, and it was after, say 8:30- just check in on these

I'm getting a lot of, " Hey, what's this playing right now," and it's most often while we're in the middle of the Pacha Massive. This is a band based in the Bronx, distinctly Latin, kinda downtempo (I like to think Thievery Corporation meets Ozomatli) An immediately cool and worldly sound incorporating elements of Cuban son, reggae, dancehall, dub, hip-hop, house, Colombian cumbia, and classic ...

Track:See You In The Light
Once in a while I come across a song that just renews faith in living (not that I am not one of the most happy people you’ll meet) Been walking on the beach with the dogs in the mornings, and sure, Jelly Biafra’s Plastic Jesus is always a welcome tune for a sunny day, but the recent disc from Spearhead has a song called fittingly See You In The Light that just makes me S M I L EWhat's your cu
