rockcritics.com has a new look and new features including a guestbook and LISTS LISTS LISTS. You should go there every week, I think.

And speaking of lists, I don’t soundtrack my life – at least not consciously. But on red letter days (or even black letter or french letter days) I tend to be found slumped at the computer, flicking through the playlists until I find a song that connects: which is what last night’s entry was.

But what an excellent idea – itemising the music you encounter as you go about a day! Here’s another: we should do this properly, and have a set day on which we all note down the music we encounter. A kind of global snapshot of listening. Any takers?
