Italian entertaining music
I like having cheesy italian/american restaurant music playing while people eat and mill about. My CDs are getting tired. I have a computer in my kitchen that I use as a radio essentially - does anybody know of a website that would have this type of music available streaming. I use last.fm but cant hit the right style. Any other suggestions appreciated.

have you tried Pandora?
What are you going for? Like music from a mob movie? Frank Sinatra, Jerry Vale, Mario Lanza etc. or do you want more traditionally type stuff like fincoli finucula and other italian folky type songs?

Pandora, for sure. Also, download Andrea Bocchelli from iTunes. Total swoon music!

I bought a cd from Amazon called, Eh, Paisano! 100% Italian-American Classics, when I had a Sopranos season premier party several years ago. It is really what you need.
This was probably my best party ever-- I cooked my a$$ off and everyone came dressed as characters from the show ( I was Artie, of course, with eyebrow pencil mustache and white apron) or in their most gangster-ish or slutty stripper outfits. My husband dressed as Tony going out for the paper in morning: wife-beater t-shirt, boxers, robe, cigar. It was one of my crowning culinary achievments: Great appetizers, three kinds of pasta--one with mussels, one with pesto, one marinara, then chicken, sausage and peppers, steak pizzaiola, whole baked salmon with onions, ricotta pie with pineapple, tiramisu and canoli from the local italian bakery. Played a game with these plastic guns from the dollar store that shoot streamers and confetti which involved monopoly money and bags of fake cocaine and "items you might find in the back of "Da Bing." The house was a mess. What a hangover!!!

What about going really old-school with some opera? Puccini, Verdi, Rossini, that sort of thing. There's some really beautiful stuff to be had.
