About This Site

Each month I select 20 songs (10 songs twice a month) that I am either hooked on or am curious about. Most of the music I select are rock, hip-hop, R&B and pop songs.

My song selection comes from 20-30 CDs I get from various sources each month, as well as recommendations from iTunes and Amazon. I also check out the charts in US, UK and Japan.

Ray LaMontagne - You Are The Best Thing

Album: Gossip In The Grain

His raspy voice sounds like Joe Cocker, and his songwriting is folky kind of like Iron & Wine. Most of his songs are really slow, the kind that married couple in their 40s can slow dance to inside the log cabin with the fireplace going. But this track is a feel good song that’s not too slow, and won’t put me to sleep.
