katya-oddio: All Mixes

After repeatedly playing FMA favorites, it was clear that there is just too much music worth celebrating at the FMA to limit a list to the top 10 added this year. The task soon morphed into praising the best five to ten selections for many genres. All of the these tracks were added to the FMA 2010 and were favorites at Oddio Overplay headquarters.

Thank you to everyone who participated. You made 2010 a great year!

For more vocal craziness, check out Various Artists [Chinstrap Music] - Windpipe Moods: a compilation of sound poetry here on the FMA.

Vocal Vortex, Volume 1

01. Rat City Brass "The Third Man Theme (Live @ KEXP)"

Some of the earliest records we had together were funny space age pop instrumental compilations from Ben's grandpa. He was a classical DJ, so we were surprised when he gave us these.

02. The Moonlighters "My Blackbirds Are Bluebirds Now"

"Wedding's on Sunday. Honeymoon's Monday!"

03. Jon Rauhouse "The World is Waiting for a Sunrise"

Fun little tune, isn't it? And it features Jon's steel guitar!

04. Latché Swing "Hungaria"

We love gypsy jazz!

05. The Underscore Orkestra "Amari Szi"

This is a Hungarian gypsy song about a daughter-in-law. The title translates to, "She is Ours."

06. Lee Maddeford "Embellir (with Les Gauchers Quintet)"

Every wedding needs a waltz.

07. Jon Rauhouse "Bongo Ride"

BONGOS! BONGOS! BONGOS! was one of our first albums.

08. Voodoo Suite "You're My Thrill"

How true it is.

09. Hugo 'Droopy' Contini "Sandu"

Warm or cool, swinging or swaying, we love jazz. We also love the line by Lee Ving, "New Yorl's alright -- if you like saxophones." Another favorite is from FATHER TED when Dougal and Ted wake up from "My Lovely Horse" and Ted screams, "We have to lose that sax solo!"

10. Here's How "From This Moment On"
and 11. Here's How "You Showed Me The Way"

A couple more from singer Bliss Blood

12. Lee Maddeford "Le petit jardin (with Les Gauchers Orchestra)"

A sweet tune, the sort that makes life lovely.

May you always have a song and love in your heart.
