How often do you play a song that is purely guilty pleasure listening? Would you share such guilty pleasures with the world? These days we are able to engage with music on so many different platforms it seems that your library’s top played songs are an intimate look into your true musical self. And with […]

Well, as a followup […]
A few months ago I stumbled across mixcloud – a little late to the party, perhaps, as they’ve been at this game since late 2009 and their offices are just down the road in Old Street. They’re not just another internet radio station: they’re the one where you upload the radio. It’s a little different […]

Since this is my first post for Before I Sleep, I thought it might be appropriate to make it both slightly personal and extremely revealing about my musical inspirations. It is my most memorable personal music discoveries of 2010 and where I was when I discovered them. Discovery number 1 – My favorite grunge era […]
