Baby, It's Cold Outside...
I've come out of hibernation, as I've been away for a while. This cold snap has inspired the need for some serious musical intervention, to warm the soul and prepare me of the spring to come. It's an ecletic bunch, a hodge podge of styles and languages. Some have lyrics which feed the mind for quiet times, while others simply own a groove that causes involuntary booty-shaking. Then there some classics to buoy my spirits. I started out with an initial list of 128, and whittled it down to the list of 35 below:
Carlos Gardel - A Media Luz
INXS - Afterglow
Antonio Carlos Jobim & Elis Regina - Aguas de Marco
