Soundtrack of Life

basilica beats


"That echoed voice lied to me with its 'hold on, hold on, hold on hold on"...  Neko Case sings 'em, I take them to heart.  These lyrics belong to a song that is part of my precious inner soundtrack, the music I brought along to Budapest, which continues to shape the way I perceive this city.  
  The following is my mixed tape of songs that have been with me, heart and soul, as I continue to get around here in among the blocks and beyond  .... a current top twenty.
