Swiss Adam is a tremendously talented and entertaining blogger. You'll find him everyday over at the Bagging Area . I was delighted when he left behind this comment waaaaaay back when this random shuffle thingy got going:- MBV Only Tomorrow Joe Strummer Free At Last The Clash The Card Cheat Mazzy Star Common Burn [...]

No. 6: "Come and Get It" Selena Gomez As big a star as she is (with or without Justin Bieber as her arm candy), I'm surprised that it's taken Gomez this long to finally score herself a Top 10 hit. I've heard far worse (like her 2011 single "Love You Like a Love Song," which spent forever on the Hot 100 without ever rising above No. 22), but I wish it didn't sound so much like a cold leftover from the recording sessions for Rihanna's first album. No. 11: [...]

Hi Vinyl Villain I found your blog by chance a couple of years ago, and have looked in almost daily ever since. I actually stopped using mp3s a year ago now, but still look in, as I find your blog can be a source of ideas for music that has passed me by, or sometimes that I had forgotten about, and other times it takes me down memory lane. [...]

I'm really excited by this particlar contribution. It came courtesy of someone whose former blog provided loads of entertainment on a daily basis, and I was pleased and chuffed that she got in touch:- Hello, Lurker here! [...]

From Lisa (aka Last Year's Girl) , a wonderful Glasgow-based blogger and music aficionado whose company I've enjoyed on a few occasions in recent years and who I sometimes bump into on the train as she lives very close to my workplace:- I listen to music on the go on a 16GB iPhone. I have about 17,000 songs in my iTunes library alone, so I [...]

Quick bit of background. Today's contributor was one of the first overseas correspondents, initially via comments on individual postings and later via e-mail. There was something about the style of 'Jeff In Chicago' that made me one day drop him a long note to ask a bit more about his background and why an American had a love of so many things that were British - particularly football. One thing led to another, and Jeff soon adopted my beloved Raith Rovers as his Scottish team. Back in 2010, my wee diddy team did the [...]

Yet another fantastic e-mail that made me smile:- Dear JC: Here are my shuffle 5 from 1902 songs on an iPhone 4: Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers - I won't back down from the album Full moon fever [...]

He's the one whose e-mail sparked the idea of turning this into a series - one which I'm genuinely stunned by the level of responses (and if you've left a comment behind or dropped an e-mail to me, then please bear with me as all submissions will be featured at some point or other). Jacques the Kipper is one of my dearest friends. I've known him for nigh on 25 years now, which rather scarily is about half of my life (and his) and we have shared many a musical high point in that time. He has [...]

Hello JC, please let me introduce myself. I am a middle aged man from the north of Italy who HAD an unhealthy obsession concerning the merits of certain round pieces of black plastic (as Drew says), until I got a degree, a proper job, married a wonderful lady who unfortunately isn’t very interested in music, and had a baby daughter, now aged five, who asks me continually to turn the stereo down because she wants to play. Several years ago I had to accept the rather regrettable fact that I would have from then on more [...]
