I agree with the last. Who knows what the parents of all these 00s bands and artists were playing as they were growing up.
Now thats blown right out the water a million miles high into another lifetime, another galaxy, another solar system... because of the inter wibble wide narrow broadband highway digital inter-eggfaces, net.
God knows what Amy Winehouse or The Ordinary Boy were downloading.
I swear im listening to The Specials or madness when The Ordinary Boys are on, or a black 60s female singer when Amy Winehouse is on.
But your right, future and today artists or bands have access to all kinds of music noww, that infuences them.

Sorry mate. That thought process is long gone. Were well into Winter now. All my 2006 Winter memories have been created now. My mind is readying itself for Christmas now. The Christman songs are a distance away in the middle of my mind.
The momment for Winter track selection has gone dude. Its faded away. Its shadow has been cast. The fire is out.

I thought, Winter = Nov to March/April, no?
How is my HardDrive?

Daz, I'm not really too busy at the moment and am reasonably experienced in putting compilations together and doing silly photshop playing about, If it's a pain in the proverbial for you then I can take on the burden,

 up to you

right,

I will be reviewing all that has gone before but not all that seriously, in general this is the beginning of submissions, things people really want on there should be re-submitted.

I will be doing the bulk of my searching on Soulseek. anything obscure should be marked as such and I would appreciate attemptes to send me copies (PM for EMail addy)

I will make the compilation a maximum of 80 mins long for recording onto a standard 700MB CD. lodge any objections here.

themes to consider are as follows

winter

xmas

cold

wind

rain 

snow

frost

chestnuts

er....

that's it. 

Good woman.

I reiterate my suggestions of Wizards in Winter by the Trans Siberian Orchestra and The Little Drummer Boy/Peace on Earth by Bowie/Crosby.
