Hey everyone! The other day I felt pretty down, for various reasons, and I found that some meditative/ chilled music, then some up-tempo happy music made me feel a bit better. I felt like I could carry on a bit easier, rather than feel bogged down in misery all day. So some of the music was: some bossa-nova (Girl From Ipanema; One Note Samba; etc ( Read more... )

However, when we got there, the performing and sightseeing were ( Read more... )

Today I've been listening quite a bit to one of my favourite foreign (I mean, not UK or American) groups, which is Air (French electronica group), and I was wondering, what bands outside of the UK or America do you really like?
