If a song has been played in two great TV shows like Ugly Betty and Gossip Girl, it can't be an ordinary song.
Prompted someone to remark this is the musical version of what love feels like. Bravo.

positive urban space (Steven Peterson, 1979)

Hi. My name is Tao and I'm an urban planner. I currently practice in Thailand. My interests span across a wide array of things, from sustainable urban development to architecture, from ubersensual, hyperstylized photography to minimalist design aesthetic. From Blockbuster movies to independent films.
My blog is a window into what goes on in my life and in the pulsating city of Bangkok. I genuinely believe that everyone has a right to living green, living fair, and living aware, but still living fun. You can reach me at nrugkhapan[at]gmail.com
