Where has the Summer gone? I know we have a couple more weeks officially, but with school about to start back up again, there was so many things that I wanted to do, but ran out of time! Every year we all try to cram in as much Summer fun as possible, but it's never enough! 

Oh well, enjoy it while we can, right?

That being said, welcome to Saturday and the weekend!!! Here in North America, its the Labour Day long weekend! Yahoo! So to my American friends, log onto those VPN's, set them on a Canadian server, and tune us in all weekend!

The Top Ten - week ending 2019 August 10

Happy Saturday, my fellow loungers!

The Summer here just won't quit! Our humid heat wave finally broke and we are in a comfortable mid to high 20's! Perfect!

Enough about the weather, let's talk about the music.....

This week we had a "double whammy" as Michael e not only celebrated his birthday, but he took the opportunity to release a brand spanking new album, appropriately titled, Summertime. After previewing the tracks on iTunes, I must say that I was not disappointed! A great selection from Michael. Highly recommended!

This is Lounge debuted the tirle track from Summertime on the day of it's release. Naturally, it comes Bubbling Under this week. 

Not to be overwhelmed by this news, I should also announce that Wish de Nuit has reached number one this week! Their beautiful, summery chillhop tune has grown on everyone, it seems. Not too shabby for a band that normally works the hip hop and rap genres!  Congrats to the band.

Your support is greatly appreciated, so please feel free to explore any of the artists played on This is Lounge. Order music through their Bandcamp page, if they have one. Contact them and tell them that you heard their music on This is Lounge. The longer you keep listening, the longer we stay on the air. A heartfelt thank you to all of you that take the time to listen.

Don't forget....if your a Cocktail Nation fan, be sure to tune in this afternoon at 6:00 pm (18:00h) Toronto time for our weekly sneak preview. Then, directly following Koop Kooper, it's our special Saturday night programming. 

Until next week,

Stay chilled.
