Today we have someone that's truly ungoogleable.  He's Matthieu Chedid, better known by his stage name "-M-" (that's dash, M, dash)  Go ahead, try searching for that, you won't find it on Google, Youtube, or Play.  Not even Dailymotion or Fnac.

It's not the holidays without The New Standards! They do a great set of live holiday shows every year and cover all the classics.

I like that this song brings to mind those lazy winter days when the snow plow couldn't get the job done. That and it's a seasonal song made in within the last decade. Hope you enjoy it.

Unun stuff is pretty rare to this day. I couldn't find anything from this era on youtube, but you can try out these track samples. Kung Fu Blue is quite fun, right Garth Webb?
