Very SERIOUSLY smooth and mellow:

LISTEN LIVE TO MY LOCAL: This is Branding Radio, the "Easy Listening" station here in Heemstede, the Netherlands. It's not pure easy listening (one minute they're playing the theme to Laverne and Shirley, the next it's Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon (seriously... in fact at this VERY MOMENT they are playing "Menomena" by the Muppets). But there are a lot of good tunes here (and you never have to hear the same ol' same ol' crap they're playing on "popular" stations. Have fun!!

PS - One more highly recommended site (since we're on this kind of subject): http://lpcoverlover.com WARNING: Not for those people easily offended by well-formed boobies.

• NANCY SINATRA - James Bond, You Only Live Twice Theme
• HERB ALBERT & the TIJUANA BRASS (enough information!)

• JULIO IGLESIAS (a genius) - Me Va, Me Va, Me Va

A strange song to remind me

I listened to this song over and over when my sister passed away, I don't know why. It is irrevocably linked to her now. The video below is silly, but I guess that's a good thing considering (though again, I suggest we all ignore the videos completely and just listen, i.e. minimize your browser).

José González: Hints

They play this song in a Dutch ad for funeral insurance, and despite the depressing subject matter I always really enjoy those 30 seconds. So I finally looked it up. Really nice tune, great lyrics.
