My god I love the Illinois Street Lounge channel from SomaFM. It has made many a work day bearable. How could I ever be cranky while listening to the Three Suns or Walt Wanderley? The best part is the "ohmygod!" moments of recognition, hearing a lounge/exotica classic I've known for years but never knew the name of before. Like "Music to Watch Girls By" or "Happy Go Lively." Or just now, discovering that Stereolab's "One Note Samba" heavily samples from Perry and Kingsley's version of same. Oh man, I have to go home and listen to Stereolab's version right now. I don't even remember which album that's on.

The Stereolab track is on Aluminum Tunes, and also on the Red, Hot and Rio comp.
Thanks! Now if I could only remember what I did with that album. While looking for it I discovered that iTunes music store now has a pretty good collection of Stereolab! Mostly the albums I've already got, plus a couple I don't. It's nice to be able to preview them.
I was wrong, Stereolab's "One Note Samba" does not sample the opening riff from Perry & Kingsley's "One Note Samba"! It's got to be some other Stereolab track. Now I'm going to have to listen to all their albums and figure out which one. Oh darn.
