Serious music for serious people. This happens round my house everytime I play this record.

I got a double album with 40 (or is it 50) golden greats.

His version of Carmen is proper mentalist. I heard he used to be the house band for the Merry Pranksters acid happenings back in the 60's which sounded like serious fun. There needs to be a junglist re-rub of Tijuana Taxi too

Deffo! I've got about 5 albums and a box set called Herb Alpert & Friends (Readers Digest Records) thats the Tijuana Brass playing songs by some of his chums, burt Bacharach, the carpenters and a few others. Monster sounds.

Theres a remix album of Whipped Cream & Other Delights but it's by folks like Ozomatli and Theivery Corporation unfortunately. I'd quite like to hear an Ellen Allien Remix of Accupluco 1922.

I'd love to have a regular lazy sunday afternoon gig somewhere to drop bits like this in.

I used to have an mp3 of Taste of Honey as a ringtone. Man's a legend. Playing this sort of stuff out to folks mashed off their ming mong on a Sunday always raised a chuckle

Yeah, taste of honey is another massive tune. Perhaps the next Dysfunktion bit should be a Tijuana remick?

I'm so tempted, trust me

I'd love to do one. All my beats are wandering toward the glitchy techy side of things at the moment, maybe they could do with a bit of brass.

I have the Evolution Control Committee 7" with Chuck D doing Rebel Without A Pause over the top. Early mash-up business.

Of A&M? I don't know, what was their mission statement?

I can see I've touched a nerve.

OK I take it all back. Not only Sun Ra but Snow Patrol as well. Sick.
