Pros: relaxing, mellow rock, yet not sleep-inducing.
Cons: Open Disc is the lamest thing ever.

A couple months ago, I was flipping through one of those little "cultural event" calendars we have in all the bars around here. Basically, they're full of fluff... as far as concert acts go, most international groups hit Paris and then head the hell out...
