I found an adorable little site tonight. "Je Ne Veux Pas Travailler" by Pink Martini is playing over a slideshow of lemons and cupcakes. The song is a "missing you" song, sprinkled with sugar and wrapped in brown paper :) It's adorable.

I looked up Pink Martini, and I am now a fan - don't know why I have not come across them before now. They're an Oregon based group of twelve writers and musicians who come from all over, and write songs in French, Italian, Japanese, Croatian, Spanish and English. I am still really into retro-French and 1940's Hollywood right now.
Pink Martini's first album was recognized at the French Victoires de la Musique Awards, and their second album "Hang on Little Tomato" (rel. 2004) also got a lot of attention.
Which leads me to another playlist!
