What are those tunes which when you hear they transport you right back to Thailand in general. or for those living here, those which may take you back to your formative years...
Mine
Reign in Blood - Slayer - I had the tape on when I first went to KPG
Sandman - America - my first Bar Girl.
Tubular Bells - reminding me of the reason came back
for me it's Ruk Chun Nun Pue Tur; a corny love song by Rainbow.
and Lou Bega, Mambo #5: a Little bit of Monica in my life.....
yourimminentdoom: Sandman was your first Bar Girl? you mean like a katoey on the beach?
Talvin Singh – "Traveller" (Kid Loco's Once Upon A Time In The East Mix)
Bob Marley - "Redemption song"
"Chillcast" podcasts by Anji Bee (on iTunes)
Burlthai : "you mean like a katoey on the beach?"
Why do it with a LB always on the beach ! It's more quiet hidden in the bungalow, if you dont want Tezza surprise you lol
Dude! You know me! (It's Farty in a different skin!)
I ain't that oblique!
Keep it simple!!!!!
yeah i know ya. you're nothing like simple, in any skin.
I do hope you went home to work on your thesis, and not to heckle Obama.
In the 90's I heard the Vengaboys "We Like to Party" for the first time in BKK. Ah the memories.
"In The Aeroplane Over The Sea" by Neutral Milk Hotel
The album "Midnite Vultures" by Beck. Actually anything Beck. I was on a big binge my first time in Thailand.
"Easy Skanking" and "Baby, We Got a Date" by Bob Marley. I would secretly hope every night I was out that they would stop playing Legend and realize that Bob had a whole discography of incredible music to choose from.
When I walked over the tarmac of Don Muang airport in 1985 I was a bit dizzy of the free wine and the cute Singapore Airline girls while listing to "One Night in Bangkok" in my walkman. When entering the total chaos of the arrival hall I knew the song was right!
And after 3 days I was happy that Bangkok was only a stop-over ... hot & dirty city!
Chnag Noi
