Free Music Review: Yeah, I know. It's a different spelling. But it's still funny. Right? C'mon!!
Hit: 5 Stars
While I appreciate the lyrical turn of the given title, this music doesn't suggest bachelorhood to me. In my head, this music conjures up my most covert anti-progressive domestic fantasies: I come home from work, weary from another day of saving babies. You greet me at the door in your apron. The house greets me with fragrances of a brisket that has been slow-cooking all day. The girls, pigtailed and dressed in pink, twirl around in excitement. The boy also twirls in, also dressed in pink, and I demoralize him verbally for it. I slide into my comfy chair as the dog rushes over, carrying in his mouth my special five-foot quad-chamber bong, a bag of ice, a fresh Sufentanil patch, a jug of vinyl ether and the herbal vaporizer. I am self-satisfied, uncircumcised, and I laze in the shadow of my colossal carbon-footprint mushroom-cloud as those first brassy bleats of "Sentimental Journey" take hold.
Sorry, that took a turn I didn't expect. The point is, this is a good collection. I like Esquivel's sound. It works as kitschy background music for those lounging moments, but it has an intelligence and inventiveness to it that is worth listening to for more than just the nostalgic. I am a sucker for those "pow," "zu-zu" choral vocals, xylophones, glissandi, and I love when he bounces the sounds from speaker to speaker. It's a nice early-stereo technique that I had been taught Pink Floyd invented. Now I'm wondering what else I learned from Guzik that isn't true. But that's my problem.
Another CD I recommend, with a similar vibe, but a compilation of various artists, is "Music for a Bachelor's Den." It's not quite as good, a touch too gentle and plush for my taste, but still worth a listen. That one also has a track by the legendary Dick Hyman. I'm a big fan of Dick Hyman, just as I am a fan of anyone whose name can stand alone as an imperative sentence. If only my stupid parents had given me a verb and an object for a name. But, no, they had to saddle me with a couple proper nouns.
