As an antidote to all the moody stuff I've been listening to as an accompaniment to my little funk, I made an effort to pull out some oldies. Cooke, Orbison, James, Paul—they all can't help but make you happy, you know? There's something very homey about listening to them. They're like the aural equivalent of a fireplace in winter, hot cocoa in hand. Comforting and lovely.
