Song of The Week - Archive

I spend a lot of time listening to music, so I was very keen to implement some kind of music feature on this site. I've chosen to add a 'Song of the Week' to the right sidebar, which I'll update weekly (obviously) on Sundays. In adding this feature, I'd like to give some exposure to some of the smaller bands you don't hear much of in the media. So don't expect my song of the week to be anything by Coldplay or the Chili Peppers (good as they are!).

Also, a quick thanks to Fabricio Zuardi who developed the open source flash media player I've used. If you'd like to use it yourself, visit the project's page on SourceForge.

Below is a list of all the songs I've chosen as my song of the week. Clicking on the artist's name should take you through to their official website. I've also kept the ability for the last ten songs of the week to be listened to. If the owner of any of the music featured would like me to take their song down, please let me know and I'll gladly comply. Enjoy!

UPDATE: I'm afraid that the song of the week section has now been discontinued in favour of a "playlist of the month" in the main blog.
