duckdodgers Have you got the Ministry of Sounds' 'Electronic 80s' box set?.. 3 cds worth of pure joy! Grin

Today my fav. song is 'Home' by Edward Sharpe and The Magnetic Zeros, it's made me so happy Smile

ShellyBoobs · 21/08/2011 21:41
Which is somehow sad but also uplifting. Remembering summers past and being a teen. Funky and fun for summer. Not new but very 'summery' to me (makes me think of Ibiza.)
