musica musica
so, i thought i'd post some of the music that i am listening to over here. it's funny, spain might just make an honest pop-music lover out of me. maybe. MAYBE.
this song is the first song darby and i listened to at full blast the first time i drove around in the city with her in her little mustard seed car. i'm sorry to say i completely love ( Read more... ) -
