I like a playlist when I have the chance to listen to the music, like when it airs somewhere or when I get a CD. If not, the "fun" of reading a playlist reduces to realizing which titles I know and which don't mean a thing to me.

Agreed on the Living Series!
Plays a Mancini Tribute is nice, with a vocal "Bye Bye" (Peter Gunn)
Living Brass, Jazz, Guitars records always have some really good tracks on
them, sometimes downright great. I usually steer away from the Strings and
Voices versions, but maybe they have some choice cuts too.
There seem to be tons of these, does anybody know of a complete discography?
I've also seen Living Marimbas, Living Percussion (The Beat Goes On - Jungle
Fantasy - WOW!!), I think a Living Trio too.
keep an eye out for those occasional sitar tracks on the Guitars series, San
Francisco Nights is all sitar.
Cheap too, nobody wants em.

Well, I discovered Trader Vics Spiced Rum at my local liquor store last
night. I didn't buy any, but I wonder how it compares to my beloved Capt.
Morgans spiced rum...

since so many original places have closed down forever in the last few years, it's always pleasant and a relief to hear some nice reports like this.
speaking of it... any news from the new Kahiki in Columbus/Ohio? By the time it closed, many suspected, that despite the old owner's plans a new one would most likely never be built.
BTW: a new bar has opened in Munich, the Aloha Bar. It's full of Bamboo, Tikis, and exotic pictures. Rumors have it that the owner of the Atomic Cafe wants to open a big tiki bar/restaurant right across the street of the Hofbrauhaus. Together with the new tiki decoration at the Atomic Cafe itself, the Trader Vic's and the Waikiki, and 4 independent groups of people who regulary stage tiki events, I now consider Munich a CENTER of the world-wide tiki cult.
