Alright, alright! Today I got 2 for ya...

The first one is "La Femme d'Argent" off of Air's Moon Safari. It's such a laid back instrumental tune β€” a classic.

Next up, I'm gonna go with some old school hip hop and share "Acid Raindrops" by People Under the Stairs. This was one of my faves back in high school and still holds a special place in my heart.

Wow, this is dope! So jazzy. I'm absolutely gonna listen to more of this group. Thank you for sharing!!

And holy shit, that's Dan the Automator!! πŸ™Œ

I freaking love Deltron 3030 which includes "producer Dan the Automator (as the Cantankerous Captain Aptos), rapper Del the Funky Homosapien (as Deltron Zero/Deltron Osiris), and DJ Kid Koala (as Skiznod the Boy Wonder)" ... in case you haven't heard them before, give the song "3030" a spin:

Also, you might be familiar with Deltron cause they were heavily involved in the first Gorillaz album. Gotta love "Clint Eastwood":

Deltron 3030 β€” I got to see them in Berlin some years ago πŸ‘Œ so good! Thanks for reminding me of them, it's been a while since I listened.

Handsome Boy Modeling school is a gem, and even the interludes on their albums actually make me laugh out loud.

Lovage is another great project from Dan the Automator, if you haven't heard it:

OOooo, I'm liking this follow up suggestion already! Much appreciated.

Glad ya are into Deltron! Like Handsome Boy Modeling School it's got some ridiculous, hilarious interludes β€” in particular, I'm thinking about "Meet Cleofis Randolph The Patriarch" πŸ˜†

La historia de un amor is a bolero from the 50s, and tells of a man's suffering after his love has disappeared.

Wow! Nice follow up Jean-Michel!

This a great performance. She's got a really powerful voice! πŸ‘

I'm a huge fan of upright bass too... it's one helluva instrument and is just so much fun to watch.
