After you've bookmarked MrLucky in your web browser, why not visit one of these other web sites that are of interest to MrLucky readers?
Dame
Edna Everage
We often hear that Yanks just don't "get" Dame Edna but we think
this is a lot of possum pie. The bigger problem is the media doesn't know
how to market Barry Humphries, the actor who portrays the housewife/superstar.
Even if you don't get the difference between Sydney and Melbourne, don't
care for men dressed as women, or miss the fact that virtually every word
out of Edna's mouth is a put down of someone else in order to bolster
her own self-image, Dame Edna is still incredibly funny.
The
Noel Coward Society
Noel Coward is the most underrated of 20th century personalities. This
site is a great tribute chock full of content about The Master.
The
Bell Sisters
Let's be honest: This is a site that has intrigued us for months but we
haven't taken the time to really dig deep. Please go and discover the
Bell Sisters. We'll be right behind you!
Bobby
Darin
Despite our tepid review of the recent DVD, Mack
Is Back, we think the world of Bobby Darin, especially his tuxedo
period.
The
Rosemary Clooney Palladium
She's hardly our favorite singer, but we remain in the minority.
The
Peggy Lee Fan Page
It's a great mystery why the Lounge movement hasn't declared Miss Lee
a cultural icon. Who could possibly be cooler? Here is her well-deserved
home page with just enough details and great photos to put it on our "must-see"
list.
The
Yma Sumac Website
After you read our reviews of the Yma Sumac reissues, why not learn more
about this lovely songbird?
Cantaloupe
Music
Cantaloupe Music is a booking agency for live Brazilian music of all types
-- bossa nova, MPB, samba, pagode, jazz, choro, axé, carnival
small to large ensembles, with and without vocalists, for performances,
festivals, public and private events, featuring top level musicians in
every category. Web site includes many music samples of artists available.
Also special requests, consultation and advice.
The
Duke Ellington Website
Like the Ella site listed below, an excellent and beautiful resource.
blue-eyes.com
It's only right that Frank Sinatra should be honored with really one of
the best looking sites on the net. Attractive, quick-loading and fun:
blues-eyes.com has it all. Even if you have only a passing interest in
Sinatra, you owe it to yourself to take a look.
Ella
Fitzgerald
Aside from being a fitting salute, the site is gorgeous with great
graphics that don't take forever to download and there's a fine
article by Will Freidwald. This site was AWOL for awhile but now
it happily has a home.
The
Unofficial Ethel Merman Homepage
Our own simple yet moving tribute to the mouth that roared.
Ziggy's
Martini
There's so much martini crap around the ‘net it's enough to drive one
to drink. Here is a site that bucks the bland trend with interesting discussions
and theories. Unlike MrLucky, who tends to speak in absolutes, this site
is thought-provoking and educational without being pedantic.
HotWired's
Cocktail
MrLucky must have been separated at birth from resident alchemist, Paul
Harrington. Sound advice and super-fancy graphics. Don't bother
to buy a cocktail book, just visit this site.
Cocktail
Time
Lots of interesting lore and solid information.
WABY.com
Our dear friend at WABY help produce our own popular webcast, so obviously
we want to guide you to their wonderful site that features a live webcast
and lots of specialty shows, including ours!
Luxuria
Music
The Lounge Nation grows up! There's no easy way to describe this station
and site, so we won't. We think you'll like it!
Martinis
With Mancini
Join Domenic Ciccone on WJUL 91.5 FM on Fridays from 6-9 AM est. There
is a webcast but we've never been awake early to enjoy the show. But judging
from the playlists and Mr. Ciccone's breezy style, we are happy to recommend
it anyway.
Club
Velvet
Previously we mentioned that the Real Audio broadcasts from Club Velvet
are reason alone to justify the existence of the Internet. It's still
true.
All
About Jazz
A friendly and refreshing site dedicated to jazz. The lack of attitude
and clean graphics are a rarity.
Tiki
News
The web version of the seminal Tiki rag. Make sure you subscribe while
you're visiting!
Retro
This used to be one of our favorite sites but it seems it all was just
too overwhelming. Cruise the archives and remember the good old days of
the Internet.
Latin
Music Online
Absolutely essential for salseros and salseras with new
and vintage Latin music advice.
The club info will make you want to live in New York.
Space
Age Bachelor Pad Music
The bible for space age pop and the like. We have problems with their
vodka martini contest but we like Steve and Eydie, so everyone's
allowed one mistake.
Vibe
Online
We like this site, a fact that probably will horrify the Vibe staff.
Swank-O-Rama
Having a wonderful time! Wish you were here!
Ask
Miss Hane
Wise, witty, warm and wonderful. Ask her anything! But don't expect
an answer back. Archives only.
Vik
Trola's Lounge Of Self Indulgence
Just go, it's worth it! Archives of a fun site that we used to count
on.
Nowheresville
Beats, coffee, jazz, cigarettes and comics.
Fog
City
Seminal acid jazz / funk producers, Fog City Productions, showcase their
wares in a typically grand manner.
Internet
Underground Music Archive
Helps explain why some musicians are professionals and others are amateurs
but once in a blue moon you'll discover a real talent. Alluring
graphics and interface.
Descarga
We confess that we drool when we visit Descarga. So many great titles
and wonderful articles on Latin music make this an essential stop for
your browser.
Hellzahoppin'
Now the Swing kids have a place of their own! Very comprehensive and you
just might want to go out dancing.
World
Wide Jazz Web
A fancy international view of jazz
The
Mentos FAQ
We were going through our old "bookmarks" and "favorites"
in our browsers and we're a little sad to note that so many sites that
we've loved have gone away. You may not know this, but the web at one
point was full of information, not ads! Anyway, we were thrilled and almost
touched to discover the Mentos page is still up and running, especially
now that the ad campaign has changed.
In these days of bland websites, we're always interested in hearing about interesting new places to visit. Please send us your suggestions but keep in mind that we have exacting, yet arbitrary standards that we must adhere to. If your site features music that starts without us asking (MIDI or wave!), uses frames for no apparent reason, is strictly a commercial site with no other resources of interest, or just doesn't strike our fancy, we probably won't list it. We're not nasty about this, but we really need a compelling reason to add you to our bookmarks beyond a request.
