14 tracks

i thought i'd share a website with y'all.

14 tracks

this online download store, bought to you from the lovely people at Boomkat, one of my favourite record stores, has a great idea behind it.

every couple of weeks the kids at 14tracks.com compile a group of 14 songs that all follow a common theme...for example 14 Tracks;

...deep into Surgeon
...unstrung; the cello
...that made you wish you played the piano
...of urban gamelan
...of drone pop

they group up the tunes and sell 'em for a lovely £6.86 {or 99p each}

i just think that it's a great way of discovering new music, and i love the friendrock/mixtape vibe about it. everyone likes to receive a compilation off their friends...it's just that usually they don't make you pay for it...
