Hello fellow loungers!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The moment is almost nigh, as I prepare to say goodbye to This is Lounge, as it goes off the air.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Come January 1st (as far as I know), host Radionomy will turn us off.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If you are not aware, Radionomy was bought out/ merged with Shoutcast. Not only did that mean an expensive monthly fee, but I would also have to pay the licensing fees (which have been covered by Radionomy up until now). It became a case of not really justifying the costs.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Its been a wonderful 5+ years on the air. I'm going to miss it as much as a lot of you will. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I must send out a big thank you to <b>Guido Van Der Meulen, Koop Kooper, Phigroa, Stephanie Sante, Vitty Masciale, Anne-Liisis Vahtra, Michael Maretimo, </b>and many more who inspired me and helped make the station the success that it was.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I should also mention that you never know what the future may bring. I could return, streaming from another host. In the meantime, I plan to take a break, and enjoy the many Facebook posts from everyone.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Thank you for listening, Happy New Year, and.....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Stay chilled.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Welcome to the weekend!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm sure you're feeling that the weekend is just not long enough to get it all in - shopping, parties.....wrapping! Well, hopefully, you're one of those people that started their shopping early, and you are now pretty much done! If that's the case, then sit back and enjoy your weekend! For the rest of you..... don't forget to take some time for yourself to "recharge" a little.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As the days wind down till the end of the station, I'm beginning to feel a little sad. But there are so many of you out there producing playlists and mixes that I will never be without this relaxing genre of music.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And who knows? Perhaps I will bring the station back at sometime in the future. Until then, though, I will take a bit of a break from broadcasting for a while.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Until the end, though, please continue to enjoy This is Lounge. The final Top Ten will be next Saturday, so don't forget to check it out one last time!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So, until next time,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Stay chilled,</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Ho ho ho! Welcome to the weekend!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
With Christmas shopping in full swing, I'm sure that we're all trying to get it all done before the big man comes to town!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Just be sure to take a rest every once in a while. A cup of hot cocoa or cider, along with some soothing music. Of course, there's no place better for that than This is Lounge!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And with our new Top Ten, you'll probably be hearing your faves a few more times in the day. That certainly goes for <b>Peter Pearson</b>'s <i>Love by Moonlight, </i>as it jumps into the number one spot this week!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>Irina </b>holds the number two spot, followed by <b>Giacomo Bondi</b>'s <i>Caipirinha </i>which<i> </i>rounds out the top three.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As <b>Japanese Breakfast</b> slips below the tenth position, Bubbling Under's <b>Cigarettes After Sex</b> sneaks into the tenth spot to fill the vacancy.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A big thank you to all for your support. With less than three weeks before the station falls silent, I appreciate everyone who has tuned in. I should say that there may be a rebirth of This is Lounge in the future sometime......never say never, right? Anyway, your support of the artists is the reason for the station, and that's the nicest Christmas present I could receive.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So, until next weekend,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Stay chilled.</div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #4c4c4c; font-family: "arial" , "verdana" , "helvetica";">What a year it had been here at the Cocktail Nation with the show being added to more and more stations across the globe....look out Ryan Seacrest, I'm coming to get you. The podcast was enhanced, we got a new website and I bought a 1964 Austin Healey! But, of course, the show needs great guests and great music and we have had plenty of that. Each year I like to highlight the best of the best of the year and that's sometimes difficult in a one hour show. So, for you some of the most stand out releases of the last twelve months of 2013.</span></div>

"It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...."</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As the song implies, the snow is falling, along with the temperature, but it looks and feels a lot like Christmas! Hope you all have most of your shopping done! I, sadly, have barely made a dent! This weekend I battle the crowds to cross off a few names on my list.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Upon my return, a nice warm cup of cocoa and some warm sounds of This is Lounge. Let's all enjoy it while we can, until the end of the year. Enough sadness, lets check out this week's Top Ten!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>Irina</b>'s beautiful song...... well, er - <i>Beautiful</i> jumps into number one this week! Congrats Irina! That knocks <b>Living Room</b>'s <i>Amber</i> down to number two, followed by P<b>eter Pearson</b>'s <i>Love by Moonlight</i> moving up to number three.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A noticeable jump this week for <b>Sazetrax</b>, as <i>Dozing Off</i> leapfrogs to number seven! Great track! Thanks for the votes, everyone!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Don't forget that music makes a wonderful Christmas gift. A CD from anyone of the This is Lounge artists would be most welcome, I'm sure.....something to consider!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
That being said, a heartfelt thank you for supporting the artists. It is truly appreciated.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So until next week....</div>

Welcome back, my fellow loungers!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's Saturday once again! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As stated last week, the station will unfortunately close down after December 31. But for the final month, let's enjoy the seasonal songs being added to the playlist. I thank you all for listening and supporting the station. I urge you to please continue to support the artists, especially with downloads, since streaming pays very little. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The chart this week has been pretty active. We have a new number one this week, as <b>Living Room</b> tops the chart with their single, <i>Amber. </i><b>Giacomo Bondi</b> slips to number two, and <b>Irina</b> stays put at number three.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Nice to see newcomer <b>Kainbeats</b> move up the chart. Please be sure to check out <a href="https://soundcloud.com/kainbeats">his Soundcloud page </a> for some more wonderful tracks.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You may also want to check out <a href="https://soundcloud.com/sazetrax"><b>Sazetrax</b>'s Soundcloud page</a>, as well. He makes the jump this week from Bubbling Under, with his track, <i>Dozing Off. </i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Well, enjoy your Christmas shopping, and remember, music always makes the perfect gift.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Until next week,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Stay chilled.</div>

Welcome back, my fellow loungers!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i><b>First off, the bad news. I was notified yesterday by email from Radionomy (the TIL host) that they are merging with Shoutcast, beginning January 1, 2020. Unfortunately, that means there will be a monthly cost that I can't honestly agree to pay, given the size of my listenership. So, as a sad Christmas present, this means that This is Lounge will go off the air on New Years Eve! We had a good run. Thank you to all of you listeners. </b></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As the end of the month quickly approaches, Christmas shopping has already started for most you. (There's always the last-minute shopper....) As usual, the programming here at This is Lounge takes on a more festive mood beginning December 1st. With many stores and stations, it seems that Christmas songs are heard the day after Halloween!! Crass consumerism, right? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Anyway, I'm sure that you're all looking forward to those seasonal songs mixed into the jazz and chill. I know we are here at the station.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Getting to this week's Top Ten, it looks like <b>Giacomo Bondi </b>has maintained his position atop the chart. <b>Irina</b> has moved into the second position, as <b>Pekter</b> drops to third. Nice to see <b>Peter Pearson </b>move up to the fifth position.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You may have noticed a new <b>Citrus Jam </b>track playing. <i>A Retrologic Dream (33 years back mix) </i>was recently added to the playlist, and has been getting some positive vibes. I hope you like it!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Well, enjoy your Christmas shopping, and don't get too flustered with the crowds, the lack of parking, or just being a general "humbug". Take a deep breath close your eyes.....and plug in your ear buds and tune us in. The stress will dissipate! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Have a great week, everyone! And, as always....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Stay chilled.</div>

Happy Saturday!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After suffering through an unseasonable snowstorm earlier this week, we are still living with the remains of that surprise from the skies. My goodness, the leaves haven't even finished falling off the trees yet!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
That being said, I must admit to a little heartwarming Winter feeling: enjoying a nice cup of hot cocoa and chilling to This is Lounge, after a half hour of shoveling the white stuff....very nice.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I hope wherever you are the Autumn season is still bringing a light chill to your air. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Anyway, on to another kind of chill....our chilled out Top Ten!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Congratulations to <b>Giacomo Bondi</b>, as he take the number one spot from <b>Pekter</b> this week! We could all use a little Brasilian bossa to warm us up, and it looks like everyone was thinking the same thing when they cast their votes,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We also have a new entry in the Top Ten, as Soundcloud discovery, <b>Kainbeats </b>joins the fray with his chillhop sounds. If you are a regular listener, I'm sure that you've heard a couple of other tracks from him. Check out his Soundcloud page for some more interesting sounds.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As always, thanks again for your support - for the artists and the station. The more your keep listening and the more you keep buying our artists' music, we will continue to stay on air. So, until next week....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Stay chilled.</div>

Welcome to the weekly Top Ten! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Let's get right to it! It looks like newcomer <b>Pekter</b> has become a real fave, as he remains atop the chart. I think that Spanish-style guitar touches everyone. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>Giacomo Bondi</b>'s Brasilian-style <i>Caipirinha</i> has also touched a few hearts, as he makes his way into number two this week.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>Living Room </b>has been moving up, as has <b>Peter Pearson</b>'s <i>Love By Moonlight, </i>making the leap from Bubbling Under to the number nine position.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Thank you to everyone who has voted and supported the artists. I urge you to take advantage of the links on each track that will enable you to seek out how to purchase that track, and perhaps others. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Happy Saturday, my fellow loungers! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I hope you all had a Happy Halloween! It's so much fun seeing the children get all dressed up! Unfortunately, we had a cold, windy, rainy night for trick-or-treating.....then again, what a perfect atmosphere for scary situations! Ha!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now that things are back to normal, (and you've gotten rid of all those pumpkins) it's time to relax in front of a warm fire, enjoying a cup of hot cocoa, and listening to This is Lounge.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Time to take a minute and vote for your favourite Top Ten track at the <a href="http://www.thisislounge.com/">website</a>. We're waiting for your votes! It's always nice to see how we here at the station compare with your choices.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But no matter the choice, the winners are always you the listeners, and the artists that make the music. Thank you so much for their support.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Until next week,</div>

Saturday is finally upon us once again, along with the chill winds of Autumn. I'm already missing Summer!!!! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Looking at the chart this week, we have a new number one, as <b>Crazyjazz</b> reaches the peak. <b>Diboujone</b> and <b>Japanese Breakfast</b> come in an number two and three respectively.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Thanks to your votes, we're seeing <b>Giacomo Bondi</b> and <b>Pekter</b> moving up quite nicely. Newcomer <b>Living Room</b> comes off Bubbling Under to join the group in the tenth position, with their single, <i>Amber</i>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Speaking of Bubbling Under, we have some new chillhop/jazzhop sounds from a couple of artists new to This is Lounge. You'll hear three new tracks from <b>Kainbeats,</b> in rotation, along with one from <b>Sazetrax. </b>Both are US based, and a welcome addition to the This is Lounge family. One track from each of them are Bubbling Under this week. They each have a Soundcloud page, so if you like what you hear, be sure to check them out!</div>

Welcome back, my fellow loungers!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Is that chill in the air getting you down? Or are you embracing the change of season?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Whatever works for you is all that matters. The seasons can affect our moods, and Autumn is an especially warm and cozy season. Time to light the fireplace, make yourself some hot cocoa, and chill to the sounds of This is Lounge. Ahhhhhh.....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It seems that we have a new number one this week, as <b>Japanese Breakfast </b>leaps to the top! Following behind are <b>Crazyjazz</b>, <b>Diboujone</b>, <b>Michael e</b>, and <b>Pekter</b>.....some old favourites and some new ones.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>Clelia Felix</b>'s beautiful <i>Keep Watching The Stars, </i>along with <b>Sambox</b>'s <i>Show Me</i>, are slowly working their way down the chart. But I must say that there are enough votes all round to slow down their progression. Thank you for your votes and your support.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As usual, be sure to spread the word about <b>This is Lounge</b>. I like to think that we're the chillout world's best kept secret. (Don't keep it a secret for long!) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In closing, enjoy the music....enjoy the weekend.....enjoy life!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Stay chilled.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Happy Saturday!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The weekend is finally here! And if you have enough energy after a week of work, you may be indulging in a little Fall cleanup and preparation - cleaning out the garden, trimming the trees, putting away the patio furniture along with all those outdoor knickknacks. I, for one, have a canvas canopy to bring down for the season, which is always sad. As a shelter and shade from the Summer sun, it is psychologically saddening to know that with this taken down, the warm weather has left us for another year. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
One advantage here in Canada is the changing of the colours of the leaves. It's always a nice day trip outside the city to enjoy the Fall colours on the trees, perhaps stopping for a cup of hot chocolate, or a cappucino.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Tuning into This is Lounge just adds to that warm, fuzzy feeling. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And the reason you stopped by....to check out this week's Top Ten.....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
What a crazy week for the Top Ten! Speak of crazy, <b>Crazyjazz</b> has jumped to number one this week, knocking <b>Michael e</b> from the top spot. and leapfrogging over <b>Japanese Breakfast</b>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We have lots of new tracks popping in this week. A new single from <b>Living Room</b>, called <i>Amber</i>, plus two new tracks from the new <b>Peter Pearson</b> release, <i>Trumpet Lounge</i> - <i>Love By Moonlight</i> and <i>Drifting Under The Stars</i>, both featuring some cool sax from <b>Tim Gelo</b>. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So, tune in, turn on, and chill out...at This is Lounge!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Thank you for your support, and your word-of-mouth networking.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Until next week....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Stay chilled.</div>

Welcome back to Saturday, my fellow loungers!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Well, Summer is now officially over here. But 'hello Summer' to all of you listeners in Australia! That's what's so nice about this planet - it's always Summer somewhere!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So even if we can't be in a Summer locale physically, we are in mind. Of course, that leads me to why we are here. The sounds of Summer is the impetus for This is Lounge. So tune in anytime for that relaxing, "sun-on-you-face" warm feeling. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Well, I promised you that we would be adding some new music, and it began this week. Artists like <b>Diboujone</b>, <b>Pekter</b>, <b>Irina</b>, and <b>Giacomo Bondi</b>. From Spanish-influenced guitar to Brazilian-inspired bossa, we have some great new music added to the playlist.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So with all this new music, the Top Ten list has gone through some changes. First of all, congrats to <b>Michael e</b> for his lovely track, <i>Summertime</i>, reaching number one this week! As <b>Clelia </b>slips to number three, <b>Japanese Breakfast </b>(gotta love the name!) moves into the second spot with their chilled out cover of the Tears for Fears hit.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So, without further ado, enjoy this week's new sounds along with the regular playlist.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Stay chilled.</div>
