The vast majority of music I buy on Bandcamp tends to consist of 
electronic stuff, long, droning minimalist things, heavy metal, 
jazz-affiliated music and assorted varieties of psychedelic/noise rock, 
but on this occasion, I thought I 
would put together a mix concentrating on something with more immediate 
appeal - namely, SONGS. &nbsp;By which I mean, recordings with actual singing and lyrics and verses and choruses. That kind of thing. At
 the risk of sounding self-important, I believe this is an area in which
 I can claim to be pretty discerning, at this point in my life.&nbsp; Probably
 80% of the time, when I press 'play' on something new based around 
discernable lyrics and conventional song-writing, it's off again within a
 few lines of the main vocal coming in. No disrespect to the musicians 
concerned in most cases, but - been there, done that, and I just don't 
need it in my life anymore. Perhaps I'm 
actually a recovering song addict? Who knows. But that's probably a 
rumination for another time (and a private one, more than likely). Like most recovering addicts though, I DO still like to indulge in a good song every now and then, when the spirit moves me.&nbsp; And, by thusly moving my spirit, I believe that the selections which follow have all reached a pretty high bar.&nbsp; In
 fact, they have all brought me great joy, and if I can pass on a small 
portion of it to you, all will be good with the world, for three or four
 minutes at least. For full track-by-track run-down, please see my mailing list post here: [link forthcoming]
