Asher tried to do this a while ago and it clearly rocked ass, i thought it was a good idea so i'm going to try and revive it.
I want a group of people who can recommend one track a day which hopefully people will listen to and pass judgement on. The idea is just to introduce people to new music.
I'm planning on starting Monday with one track for each day of the week and i'll revolve the days around the people involved.

I know, i dont want it to get too long but at the same time i dont want to cut people out. I think it's at 28 now, everyone keeps the same day and now would be a good time to say enough but i know some people would rather i didn't.

Nick Drake is superb.

From The Morning is the bestest acoustic song ever.

Nick Drake song.

A nice middleman between Jack Johnson and Jeff Buckley. Not totally into it right now but as with Jeff it's very likely to grow and grow on me.

Great recommendation, easily the best yet. 9/10

I was tempted to go with Fruit Tree, lyrically it's easier to understand and comes across as being very autobiographical given his life.

Nah, my favourite bits are:

"Don't be shy you learn to fly"

"And see the sun when day is done"

"Look around you find the ground"


Awesome!
