Been listening to a few JJ boots since your "Laughter & Lust" (always a great combo, I find) post last week so this mix is the cherry on top of the sundae. Every time I hear a Joe Jackson track I find myself belting out "Joltin' Joe Di Maggio" thanks to an old Seinfeld episode. Is it just me? (It's just you - Ed).

Joe Jackson is vehemently in favor of smoking in public spaces. he even wrote a pamphlet on it! <br /><br />My problem with heart of ice is that it feels more like an art song than the jazzy vibe of the rest of the album. They're songs for Birdland while Heart of Ice is Lincoln Center. Just feels out of place to me, whatever its merits.Michael Giltzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16921048823380535339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4357001616333664522.post-46437804491454891492021-01-09T09:13:18.424-08:002021-01-09T09:13:18.424-08:00@Kevin M,

"Go For It" is the speed bump for me.<br /><br />And what do you mean "100% wrong about bans on smoking..."

Wouldn't he kick me out if I coughed at the wrong moment? Did see him once I think circa Rain album in 2008 (maybe!) and he was good. Wonderfully cranky guy though he's 100% wrong about bans on smoking in bars and restaurants and live venues. Thanks for the mix; I'm sure even strong fans like me (Mike's Murder score!) won't know them all. I would def include something from Body & Soul, my personal fave of his. Perhaps "Be My Number Two"? Which should have been the last track on the album (deleting Heart of Ice and making a very good album even better.)
