jamie stewart from xiu xiu : i have a nico button on my guitar strap and her excess eyeliner has been burning the dirge "janitor of lunacy" into my waking ears as of late, at least 20 times in the last week. until yesterday we have been on tour in scandinavia, russia, poland, austria, germany and czech. these grey locations held hands with her harmonium perfectly. justin ringle from horse feathers : i have been obsessively listening and waking up to this tune by gillian welch called "annabelle". it's a song about a sharecropper in alabama and it is so sad, beautiful and timeless that I can't help but listen more than once in a row. the harmonies in the chorus make my hairs stand up... beautiful song. tracyanne campbell from camera obscura : my favourite song at the moment is called 'one in a million' by steve miller . it's really beautiful. his voice is like honey in the sun and it totally melts my heart. the lyrics are quite simple and i guess corny but it's a great tune and the production is so good it really doesn't matter. i wish i'd written it. in fact i'd love to do a cover version of it. i was recently in stockholm visiting my friend victoria (bergsman) from taken by trees and we were singing it in the flat and talked about recording it. watch this space... stuart murdoch from belle and sebastian : every day when i leave the house and walk over the iron bridge and up to the glasshouses, i listen to "what for" by james . i have a habit of dropping back 20 years in my thoughts, and having a parallel soundtrack running in my head so that i may be walking in a street in 2008, but my head is in 1988. i don't know why that is. this is an up and hopeful song of the period from a band i used to care for deeply. as we slip into the autumn here, i am prepared to let my new song of obsession become "the game" by echo and the bunnymen . "everybody's got their own good reason why their favourite season is their favourite season". Read More
