WatchCat Martino (she released a killer song a few months ago and I cannot get enough of it lately- download it here) tweeted about this Little Dragon NPR set earlier, so I figured I’d check it out. I haven’t even finished the first song yet and it instantly put me into a calm and trance-like state. I’m also loving Yukimi Nagano’s (lead singer) voice, it is so mellow, yet so...

10 Music Streaming Services →
If you’re in need of some new music or have been wanting to listen to that new album from your favorite band and haven’t had the opportunity to buy it yet, I’d give one of these sites a try.
