Ever since an ex-lover played Nouvelle Vague’s self-titled 2004 album on one of our nights of passionate love making, I have loved them. French band Nouvelle Vague covers some of my favorite New Wave songs from the 70s and 80s; and arranges them in ’60s bossa-nova style.

I have officially added two of their songs to my love-making soundtrack which was last used too long ago. Either way, he really enjoyed me and it, so much so that he requested I burn him a few discs so he could have all the songs. I kind of like the thought of him paying it forward as I have. K.
