Summer + Music = L.O.V.E.

Alo homies ;-)

Sorry, I've been away for a while... Had to recover from my surgery [farewell wisdom teeth!]. Anyways. I'm finally feeling a lil better & thought I'd do a new post.

Since everyone knows that I could never live without music, I thought I'd share some my fav summer jams with you guys.

Unfortunately we learned Saturday night that the gorgeous Amy Winehouse passed away [R.I.H.]. Drugs are NO JOKE kids. A wonderful talent was stolen from us. Still we shouldn't forget all the other horrible things that happened the last week(s): Oslo for example. Since the whole world seems to go crazy & you never know when life's over I guess we should enjoy life right now... WITH music!

Even though I am a HUGE Amy Winehouse fan I won't put any of her CDs in this post since I didn't thought of putting any into my current "summer favs". I think it would be phony & wrong to do it now, "just" because she died. Nevertheless: My favorite Amy Winehouse CD has ALWAYS been "Frank" [I've been a fan since "Stronger Than Me" - yupp... not since "Rehab" -.-]. You definitely have to listen to "Stronger Than Me", "F*ck Me Pumps", "Amy Amy Amy", "In My Bed" & "I Heard Love Is Blind".

In spite of this... Here are my "Must-Listen-To-CDs" for this - not so summery - summer.

Enjoy!

Yours, Lea
