Hey Ano, very cool to see your picks. Pentangle is my number #1 too - at least we agree on that! :)
Cool that you liked that Renegade Soundwave jam... I was iffy on that one.
I would've put Mellow Candle in my best-of but there's an abundance of super-melancholy songs in there already. Maybe I'll add it in anyway?
So many sad/heavy songs, for some reason... hope folks enjoy 'em anyway.
Emmett, Happy New Year! So glad to see "Cher" on your list by Brigitte Fontaine. That was on heavy rotation down in Big D.
Cheers.
Thanks, B. OK, I've added Mellow Candle to the roster. More sad girls singing...
Henry and James absolutely SLAYS me, did Dave Stewart do any other interesting solo stuff?
Thanks again for all the great finds guys, keep on keepin on.
I seriously think about 30% of my favourite discoveries of the last five years come from your sight.
Hope you have a great 2013
James
