I'm a big fan of that site. I'm really into retro stuff anyway. Are there other fans of retro here?

Tack så mycket Thorum for this link (http://absintheradio.com/)!! This definetely goes here. :) Wow, you put me in a Jazz in Jazz (http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/11061) mood... :)


Enjoy vintage jazz in an appropriately smoky environment and have a philosophical chat with Costas the legendary owner.

Avoid telling him that you prefer modern jazz (that's anything after bebop!), he may ask you to leave his bar!


Costas Spanos, the owner, is a legendary figure who hates modern jazz as much as he hates smart asses. If you want to get a drink in this little jazz ‘museum’ you’d better not mention that you prefer anything recorded after the fifties! If you are in a philosophical mood, Costas will be more than happy to discuss his favourite, Nietzsche and narrate stories from his years as a seaman. Cigarette smoke here is exactly as thick as you’d expect in any self-respecting jazz bar.

^ Every word of that is absolutely true. :D
