An ongoing series:

As you might have guessed, there's a theme - or rather a meme - to this week's playlist. The alphabetised meme was found via here, and hat tip to Will for pointing me in the direction of that particular blog. Even if I did get off at the wrong stop. Apologies Will.
A couple of the songs are available as mp3s for a limited time. Both class tracks, and after hearing them you'll be compelled to go out and buy the back catalogues. The finders fee can be determined at a later date.
Next Tagees?
The usual suspects: Vic Davidson; Patrik Fitzgerald; Sarah Silverman; Mooey and Tegan . . . Sara Nicole Atkins.

Goccia - what a beautiful, beautiful song. Saw Christina Dona supporting Mark Eitzel and Queen Elizabeth Hall a few years ago during Robert Wyatt's Meltdown - what a fucking brilliant night that was!
Agreed it's a beautiful song. I was tempted to make it available as a mp3 download*, but I knew that I would be uploading Robert Wyatt tracks in the future so I thought I'd keep my powder dry.
Have you heard Wyatt's new album yet. The bloke's class in a glass. (or should that be debonair in a wheelchair?)
Nice review of the latest album in the latest issue of the arts magazine Brooklyn Rail.
*Downloads are made available for sampling purposes only. Buy the back catalogue.
I thought R was a hard letter - I think G is harder. I'm trying to decide on whether to accept your criteria and eliminate my "the" songs , because thinking up my list was hard enough.
Anyway, I like your list. It's been a while since I listened to Microdisney - that persuaded me to dig through my casettes.
