We haven't blogged House Music in awhile, but upon hearing Lily Allen over the weekend we were inspired to do it again in honor of SmallCool month. This is a big, positive, brassy (and explicit) sound from a diminuitive young woman. Around the house, this is for opening the windows, cleaning the kitchen from top to bottom and dancing late night. To all House Music Picks.

oh man, i really love her. course, i dled the edited versions..
this is like audio caffeine. i have a mix for when i need to do some cleaning. it's much more fun to clean a litter box while dancing!
i'm very addicted to this brazilian band called Cansei de Ser Sexy. it's pretty much broken english in cute accents with a disco rock sound. i suggest "let's make love & listen to death from above". you're whole place will be sparkling! :)
Ha, I love that description, audio caffeine! Got it last week and succumbed to the flu shortly after but now the thought of listening to it perks me right back up!
I've loved Ms. Allen for awhile now. How can you not? She's funky and unapologetic and silly and still not to be messed with. I'm so so glad she's made it over across the water.
I prefer Amy Winehouse, "Frank" and "Back to Black".
For a nice chilled evening with a nice glass of wine:
Zero 7 - When It Falls or Massive Attack - Collected (greatest hits)
Yeah! Lily Allen is fabulous!Beats Amy Whine-house hands down!So lovely to see she has fans in the U.S. too!
