My go-to hot weather song.
Dropped the Civic off in Birtley. The walk home wasn't a lot of fun. Took and hour and a half.

She may have graced this thread previously. She was on the stereo as I was delivering the car for MOT.

If you like the deeper voice ladies Helen should do for you. Kids used to jokingly call her Alan.

In acknowledgement of my recent unusual binge watch of Trom, the "Scandi-Noir" mentioned on the "On-TV" topic
here,

A revival of a very nice piece of contemporary jazz which as intended conjures up the atmosphere of the Noir Detective films films of the 1940's.

You know the type of thing, background to a monologue by the detective in the smoke filled office, noir jazz.
Well this is it, it all originates from a video game called LA Noire, and is part of the soundtrack to that video game.

I'll dump it here so I can find it again, but the wiki page has some interesting info on the soundtrack.

L.A. Noire features an original score. The game's score accompanies the gameplay, alerting players at specific times; musical cues play when players approach items of interest during investigations. Like other games published by Rockstar, L.A. Noire also contains licensed music tracks provided by an in-game radio. Over thirty songs, from artists such as Billie Holiday, Louis Armstrong and Ella Fitzgerald, feature in the game. To work on the score, the team engaged Andrew Hale and Simon Hale, as well as Woody Jackson, who had previously collaborated with the team on Red Dead Redemption (2010). Recorded at Abbey Road Studios, the score was inspired by orchestral scores from 1940s films. In addition to the original score and licensed tracks, the game also features original vocal recordings that "create an authentic sound to suit the musical identity of the period". When The Real Tuesday Weld were commissioned to compose the original compositions, they sought vocals that could "evoke the period", ultimately falling upon Claudia Brücken. Three vocal tracks were produced: "(I Always Kill) The Things I Love", "Guilty", and "Torched Song"

I'm no jazz aficionado but I really liked the theme tune to the TV series Homeland. It suited the programme so well,
