I just got home from a recording studio in Minneapolis, where British pianist Tony Hymas played 12 piano etudes by Debussy, flanked by Satie's Gymnopédies 1 & 3. This was a program of the Minnesota sur Seine Festival, a real gem of a music fest, from free jazz to hiphop to Breton jazz to Lorca songs to Ethiopian pop to Debussy/Satie and a few other stops in between.
I saw the lady singing on the Airbook commercial, Yael Naim, is singing at the "El Rey" theater in LA next month. She sings in English, French, and Hebrew. Apparently this is a tad off-beat for my friends, so I may end up going alone. Tickets are $24 if anyone is interested.

I just found this old mix while going thru backup dvds. It was recorded by me, plus djs Ch5 and Peter Calypso. Way too much wine on a rainy saturday afternoon a loooong time ago. It is quite funny.
Stefan, if you like 'Laughing Stock', probably you should also try 'Spirit of Eden'. At least for me it's one of the absolute favourites for this kind of mood

Great recording, and apparently unique in featuring boy trebles instead of women as the piece was originally written.

Quite sadly I'm listening to Róisín Murphy, Off & On.
