Today I'm listening to hours of Flora Purim. Some of her songs are soft and romantic, others are fast dance pieces, all of them are brilliantly interpreted. She is eclectic in her influences, but her style could be called Latin fusion jazz.

Some weird, Muse-like Ukranian rock band. Quite good. Very depressing though.

to Luther Vandross (by various artists) From Mary J Blige to Wyclef Jean...

You are probably right, stekim. Not just very British, very 'Sheffield', at times! Glad you liked it though (thats why I made several references here to them - I kind of suspected that they might not get that much exposure over there, and I considered that some of you might like to give them a test-listen).

We must share the world's bounty with one another....

have been listening to my newest C.D, "Fiest, " and my favorite for the year, "Hold on Little Tomato" by Pink Martini. Both have lovely female vocalists I can sing along with.

"Careless Whisper," by Wham!

And you admit to that?? Wow

For me, it's been a lot of Springsteen lately. Not sure why but Born to Run and The Rising have been default music recently.

Many years ago, in 1985-1986, when I was just a scared little boy all of 23 to 24 years of age, afflicted with a brain tumor and knowing that I was washing out of an MA in Mediaeval History, there were only two songs that would help me cry myself to sleep: Wham!, "Careless Whisper" and The Carpenters, "Superstar." Twenty years after the fact, I do now realize that I must have made quite a thorough annoyance of myself for so doing, but there were many nights that I would call DJ Sherry Markhort at her Magic's Memories till Midnight show at KMJI in Denver, Colorado, to request that she play "Careless Whisper" by Wham or "Superstar" by The Carpenters. All just so I could cry myself to sleep.

Today I've been listening to Cuban singer Celia Cruz.
