It’s called Obsession Confession, performed by Slash. I’ll tell you what I like about it so you’ll know what I’m looking for.

I like the freshness of latin acoustic guitar, a bit of flamenco with a modern beat (casual, not a heavy, club, grind on my butt beat). I like the fretless bass. The song has a lovely airy feel to it. I feel as though I should be relaxing on a lounge chair with a mojito or something. I’m not looking for anything that has a bunch of brass or polka beats. I do like that stuff in small quantities, but not today. Just the relaxing stuff.

Hope my description is specific enough.

So you you have any suggestions?

Are you familiar with [Pandora](http://www.pandora.com/)? It’s a neat little website that plays you music based on what you say you like.

Unfortunately it doesn’t appear to have Obsession Confession in its database.

**1920s Style “Death Ray”** : Pretty damn good site. It doesn’t know the Oblio Joes but it knows the Volumen. (Yes, I plugged in the two most obscure bands I could think of at the time.)

Yep. I know about Pandora. I just needed a different artist to use. I’ve figured out how to do that now.

Thanks!
