I didn't see a FMD post, so I am jumping in with this link: a playlist of the 10 songs found to be the most relaxing on earth.
10. "We Can Fly," by Rue du Soleil (Café Del Mar)
9. "Canzonetta Sull'aria," by Mozart
8. "Someone Like You," by Adele
7. "Pure Shores," by All Saints
6. "Please Don't Go," by Barcelona
5. "Strawberry Swing," by Coldplay
4. "Watermark," by Enya
3. "Mellomaniac (Chill Out Mix)," by DJ Shah
2. "Electra," by Airstream
1. "Weightless," by Marconi Union
Spotify playlist
"Watermark" is a good one, but I think "On Your Shore" from the same CD is much more relaxing
I've been waiting for the Big Smoke album to drop on Spotify since I read about it a month ago. Two full listens already and really liking it. I was probably sold before I heard any of it by the story behind the record.

The Lydia Loveless movie is coming to Minneapolis! One night only November 11 at the Bryant Lake Bowl. Go to the BLB website to get tix. The place is small so I don't know how long they will be available. I've got two and it's very likely my date can't make it because her dad is having surgery that day. so I may have any extra. I'll send out more info in next week.
I will have an extra for the Lydia Loveless movie. Let me know if interested. Will update next FMD
I like that version of Mad World.
