White Snow - Gray Death
I decided to post some of the best songs of the albums I’ve been listening to recently. Still not prepared to write a full post and it’s still cold out there, snowing like the next ice age is gonna come.
New Hot Chip is amazing. Their melancholic, slower tracks are more and more elegant. I Feel Better is beautiful and love the nu-disco romance that explodes from it after the intro.

Never Known Love

But as i’ve been told by some of my european buddies, they along with other italo- and euro-dance favorites of the 80s, were FM rock staples. So basically what Journey and REO Speedwagon...
