I tell you what's made me feel guilty about this 30 Days Of Music thing. I know quite a few people who make really good music, which I listen to a lot, and I've been burbling on about Nick Heyward and The Wombles. I think a lot of the music you love is just embedded in you by circumstance, whereas you have more choice about the music you like and enjoy.
For instance, a tweet from Rhodri, a year or so back, led me to Amazon to buy his Free French CD - It's Not You, It's Me. It's brilliant stuff; intelligent, funny, tunesome pop. I listen to it a lot. You can buy all the albums as downloads, or listen to some on MySpace. Actually, this has reminded me to get the other two albums. Will do that now.
Or Paul is involved with uncharted audio who bring us the gorgeously disjointed and slippy music of LJ Kruzer (among others). Also high on the listening list.
And Andrew has made some lovely sounds as Covert, electronic and warm. Good for bedtime. He's not done any for a while though, probably too busy starting up a start-up.
And then there's Craig's mighty Scaremongers and Born In A Barn. Rocky, guitary, witty songs that are all the better because you know they're a product of grown-up friendship and fun rather than adolescent angst. I listen to that lots too.
Now I feel less guilty, though I'm sure I'm missing someone. Anyway. Back to writing about The Wombles.
