Hugh Mackay on HAPPINESS



The other day, I read this passage on Pinterest (where else?), and it is stuck in my mind.

Josef Salvat's ♪ Hustler



Scouting for cover versions of recent pop hits, I stumbled upon this male-Lana Del Rey version of one of Rihanna's best known songs "Diamond". Thirty seconds into the track I knew this Salvat guy deserved my attention. Come hear why:

Bogota By Bus and Spanish By Strings



Even though most of us don’t get the opportunity to dine in the cafés of Madrid or dance in the clubs of Havana, it is possible to experience a sense of that cultural vibe wherever we are, through music. A few notes can transport you to another place, another time.

Fink - This Is The Thing



"I don't know if you noticed anything different   
It's getting dark and it's getting cold and the nights are getting long   
I don't know if you even noticed at all   
That I'm long gone baby, I'm long gone 

#oldschoolrock | Skid Row



Skid Row is an American heavy metal band, formed in 1986 in New Jersey. Lead singer Sebastian Bach is perfect with his vocals, and their rasp and violent solo guitar riffs fit well with the late 80s metal making it one of the most successful songs of the band. Plus, they had something extra -- a flick of the wrist, a flip of the hair, a cracked smile, and a gleam in the eye.
