Today it's a collection of lists! Lists by maker of some of my favourite music ever, Sandro Perri, and by the really rather wonderful Efterklang, and by talented young fella Rob St. John. If I was not tired and on holiday, I would provide links for all of these, but heck, you know how to work the internet. The Hype Machine and Elbo.ws are your friends.
