Gidget, pass the popcorn

I mentioned a week ago that Bossa Nova is a sure way to fend off winter blahs. But as the snow continues to return like a bad guest, I needed to take further steps. I have found reprieve in surf films. I recently bought the six disc set of Bruce Brown's early films, all made late 50's, before "Endless Summer." Hours spent watching warm water waves, set to a cool jazz soundtrack.

On the turntable: "Music From the Coffee Lands II"
On the nighttable: Kate Walbert, "The Gardens of Kyoto"
