Playlist: Badr Benjelloun

“Don’t Stop My Music” by Miserable Faith.
I’ll never forget being at MIDI singing along to this in the rain. Magical!

“Maybe I Died Last Night” by Cold-Blooded Animals.
I see it as a modern grungy version of “Nothing to My Name.”

“Able & Virtuous” by Su Yang.
Great lyrics, beautiful melodies and great delivery by one of the better folksters in China.

“The Huntsman” by Spring & Autumn. If there’s a better song where East meets West in a metal arena, I have yet to find it.

“Beautiful Wine and Coffee” by Teresa Teng.
In a bar, at karaoke or home, it brings a smile to my face. My guilty pleasure.
