I've been thinking a lot lately of my love of music and flirting with the thought of putting together a podcast to champion the music of artists that deserve someone in their corner.

To quote Lance Corporal Harold W. Dawson: "We were supposed to fight for the people who couldn't fight for themselves."

So with that in mind, here are a bunch of songs I always turn to on my iPod. Songs that "in a perfect world" would be all over radio like a rash. A good rash.

Note: All these tracks are available on iTunes (* except where indicated). Have a listen and find something that isn't James fucking Blunt.

'Roll To Me' - David Gillespie (taken from the album Out In The Real World)
'The Many Faces Of Esther' - D Henry Fenton (taken from the album Autumn Sweet)
'To The Grave' - Jason Brody (taken from the album To The Quick)
'Better Off Dancing' - Jen Cloher & The Endless Sea (taken from the album Deadwood Falls)
'Don't You Know' - Steven Jaymes (taken from the album Black 17)
'Ant' - Lady Bird (taken from the EP Lady Bird)*
'Watch The River Run' - Ryan Meeking (taken from the album Broken Cars & Empty Promises)*
'I'm Nowhere Now' - Dan Parsons (taken from the album Old Brown Shoe)
'The Way' - Red Season (taken from the EP Make It Your Own)*
'Love' - Ben Stewart (taken from the album Social Architecture)

Happy listening and discovering.
