Background music for dinner with the in-laws, suggestions please ...

[slipperthief]

.. namely something that's not too full of loud guitars, a bit on the depressing side, or dotted with awkward lyrics.

So far have Jack Johnson, KT Tunstell & Badly Drawn Boy that I don't think will offend. Any more suggestions?

Bach, it might send them to sleep.

madeline peyroux

james last

richard clayderman

liberace?

katie melhua

I like the idea of sending them to sleep, poss not richard clayderman though???

surely they were joking, mmj?????

I like your choice, and might follow it with something a bit more downtempo

any orchestral versions of celine dion or celine herself

I think they'd like katie melua, what's madeline peyroux like?

she's great
nice

nice

nooo, this is a celine dion free zone!
but maybe kanye west or the prodigy in case they've outstayed their welcome

i actually love that song and seriously considered it for our first song at the wedding

then my husband desperately wanted ice ice baby but we actually had this

romantic fools

you're on a roll now, mmj...

seeing as you're doing the chirpy stuff now, I'd like to offer something more serious. The ending, in particular, is very intense and is bound to provoke some interesting dinner party conversations.
