My partner, Poppycrock, and I had pretty similar artists in our library and nothing new to either of us seemed to jump out so we had to stray from the theme somewhat.
I noticed that our respective most popular artists were entirely different so suggested that we send each other one song from our top 20.
So here are my songs from my top 20 artists, imaginatively titled 'Muzikizum's Top 20 Artists'…

October 2008

Hello everybody, not a bad theme choice this month.
I've stuck to the original premise of this month's theme and compiled a 30 minute mix of songs that are no longer than 2 minutes.
I had 1,907 tracks to choose from so whittling down proved to be a challenge, which I overcame with some brandy and joints. It's fairly quirky, so could prove a bit hit & miss for some of you, but I did it in one six-hour 'session' and was a bit frazzled by the end of it, but all in all, i'm quite pleased with it. So here it is for my mix partner candeecandee…
