Where Do You Go?

I'd visit this room if it existed online.  Isn't it pretty?
Thank you so much to all the suggestions for happy music!  Now, as I'm on a roll with fabulous answers, I thought I'd ask another similar-ish question: where do you go online when you want to cheer yourself up or even just continue your good mood?  


For me, I have several blogs and stores that make me feel sunny but sometimes, I read through all the blogs and then, well I've read them all! So, I'm looking to you, dear readers, to give me some new places to visit!

C'mon Get Happy or Suggestions Please



So, as you can imagine, I love happy music, or even music that just makes me happy even when every little part of the lyric isn't necessarily cheerful.  For example: Sarah Vaughan singing It Was Just One of Those Things or Naked Eyes singing Always Something There to Remind Me or Blossom Dearie singing anything.  


But here is my problem: for a music-lover, I tend to dwell in the past, listening to jazz standards or songs from the 80s.  If it's more current, it's probably from a Disney or Pixar film. *


So, can you help at all?  What are some current artists (independent is even better!) that create music that makes you happy?


*This is a slight exaggeration, by the way.  I have listened to some Jason Mraz and some Pink Martini and some CéU and some Emily Loizeau and some Rupa and the April Fishes and such, but I do feel like my music player could use some new life breathed into it!
