Lounge Leeeezard
Back in that trap we call high school, I had the pleasure of receiving a gift. It was disc number nine of the *Ultra
Lounge* collection entitled "Cha Cha De Amor." It emphasizes a romanticized epitome of an era, without the war, anti-semitism, anti-feminism and all the other horrors of the time that would have directly effected me. I have since purchased a fair amount of the Ultra Lounge collection and recommend it to all. Or, if this seems too old fashioned, check out World/Inferno Friendship Society
