Esquivel!

Let's sit in our neo-modernist apartment and listen to space age bachelor pad music, shall we?

I'm big fan of Esquivel , and his influences / contemporaries . . . Martin Denny , Les Baxter , all that shit is good with me . We cant let this one slip off the front too quickly .

Sucks.

I love Esquivel. I would be the biggest Esquivel groupie if there was such a thing. Well, not really, but he made some great music nonetheless.

Hey muchacha!

me muchacho, you muchacha...

Genius

"Boink! Boink!"

Yessss!!! Now you're talkin' my language.......

Feliz Navidad, baby!

martin denny is the dope shit!

The "ultra-lounge" cd series provides some nice theme music for parties and such.

didn't they use that song on the bevis and butthead movie soundtrack?

anyone for naming a few contemporaries? like maybe Theivery Corporation? that first Air EP? what else?

If you dig Esquivel..
You gotta hear Joey Altruda's "Kingston Cocktail", and "Cocktails with Joey"
It's got Plas Johnson, and all the best cats on it!

Jump With Joey's albums are der shit too!!

Has anyone heard anything more about the biopic supposedly in the works, starring John Leguizamo? Man that would be sooo coooool......

Let's see - Ursula 1000, Don Tiki, Fantastic Plastic Machine, Combustible Edison, Oranj Symphonette, Astroslut, Pizzicato Five, Montefiori Cocktail....

i heard about this like five years ago and i think it got shelved.
oh well, we'll have to wait until lounge shit comes back in style.
again.

this is too bizarre! i am listening to esquivel's xmas album, then i click over to SG and there's a thread about him!!!! he's been in the favorite bands section of my profile since i joined!!! woo hoo!!!

xxxooo

They're a great band, but i think Stereolab owe their whole career to Esquivel (and the other half to Neu!/krautrock)
