Whenever I need a little break from the rock and roll, I turn to the fine people at Luxuria Music. I've been meaning to mention them for awhile. Their free streaming lounge music is the quickest way to swank things up that I know.

They describe LM as: "The perfect soundtrack for your sophisticated lifestyle, whether you're relaxing at home or trapped inside an office cube. Featuring outré lounge and Latin jazz, breezy swinging instrumentals and vocals, groovy 60's go-go,psychedelia, quirky oddities, retro pop and surf music."

I find it provides a pleasantly surreal soundtrack to just about any occasion.

They have a huge library with no commercials and there are several free streaming options on their home page. Check 'em out at luxuriamusic.com. (They also stream the station on their myspace page.)
