Sometimes life needs a little more background music to get you moving thru the day. With that in mind I'd like to share a little Spy Lounge music to help set the mood to get things done, with style and an undeniable will to solve today challenges. Let's get to it:
🍸 Shaken, Not Stirred — 1960s Spy Lounge Background Music | Vintage Cocktail Hour Mix
🍸 Shaken, Not Stirred — 1960s Spy Lounge Background Music | Vintage Cocktail Hour Mix
Welcome to Shaken, Not Stirred — a suave, cinematic blend of 1960s spy-lounge and groove-jazz, where rhythm and mystery move in perfect sync.
Picture Nastassja in Rome: red hair, cat-eye sunglasses, a martini in hand — slipping through cobblestone streets as that unmistakable vintage organ riff hums somewhere down the alley.
This isn’t orchestral spy music — it’s cool and streetwise, built on electric jazz bass, soulful organ, crisp drums, vibraphone hits, and sharp 60s-style guitar leads.
It’s the sound of confidence, charm, and a little danger — the kind of groove a secret agent would walk to.
🎧 Perfect for cocktail hours, late-night work, or setting a vintage cinematic mood.

I feel like my life has a soundtrack right now. Some of it is a gut punch, some of it is a warm hug. Doesn't matter too much either way, but I put together a quick set list list (#10) of 14 songs worth knowing.
a note from chris:
'iris' has always been a song I’ve loved and connected with. I felt inspired to record a stripped back one-take cover of it in my bedroom which I posted without thinking too much and the response from you all was overwhelmingly positive... so I decided to record it properly in my home studio & shoot a slightly cooler video for it that just me in my room lol (thanks lara) - and here we are! thank you for all the love on this cover over the last month, I hope you love this full version, out everywhere now x

What if all the world's inside of your head
Just creations of your own?
Your devils and your gods
All the living and the dead
And you're really all alone?
Song by Nine Inch Nails

A note from Eva of SHEL:
“When I first read J.M. Barrie's Peter Pan I wouldn't stop talking about it. I bought extra copies for friends and read chapters over again out loud to my family and alone in my room. So it's no wonder that when my Dad was driving across Nebraska listening to the radio and a Metallica song about Never Never Land came on he called me to recommend I listen to it and that SHEL consider doing a cover of the song.
I looked it up at once and fell in love with the lyrics. Putting a cover song on a SHEL album has become a tradition for the band, and when it came time to choose a song for Just Crazy Enough 'Enter Sandman' seemed like a wonderful fit, everything about the lyrics would suit a subtle and more eerie vibe. So I said a prayer to the god's of rock that I wouldn't be struck dead, or mysteriously electrocuted in the studio for whispering the lyrics to a Metallica song, or for not including an electric guitar in the arrangement. I've survived to say that I am truly blown away by the poetry of the song, both lyrically and musically, and that we hope you enjoy our interpretation of it.”
A Nine Inch Nail classic, "Every Day Is Exactly The Same" from the album "With Teeth" is a perfect balance of NIN's overall sonic aesthetic. Delicate one moment, then bitingly tragic in the next, but a masterpiece of a track overall.

"Teardrop" is a song by Massive Attack that was released as a single on 27 April 1998. It is the second single from their third album, Mezzanine.
The song, especially the instrumental portions at the beginning and the end, has been used in numerous TV programs and movies. From 2004 to 2012, it was used as the opening theme of the American medical drama series House. The bass drum beat, reminiscent of a heartbeat, samples the Les McCann song "Sometimes I Cry". It is also featured as incidental music in a 2001 episode of the long-running ITV soap opera Coronation Street when Sarah Platt is chased. An instrumental version of the tune is also used in the first season episode of Prison Break, "Tonight". The song was used in the twenty-first season episode of The Simpsons, "Postcards from the Wedge".
This is my certified Gluten Free version of the song played on ukulele.
