Broaden your musical mind everyday

Music Genre Challenge

I have always been passionate about many different forms of music and I think my taste for new and diverse music stems from the much missed legend that is John Peel. I should have taken out shares in TDK because the hundreds of cassettes I bought, just so I could record his shows. One of the amazing things was his ability to find new music, embrace all genres and remain passionate about what he did right up to his untimely death. I miss hearing him play tracks at the wrong speed. I miss hearing obscure world music followed by techno, followed by skiffle, followed by black metal etc

I recently caught up with an old friend and whilst chatting over large quantities of gin, our conversation turned to John. We discussed our old cassettes and how his show has moulded our music collections and still does to this day.

This has inspired me to create the Music Genre Challenge.

As of tomorrow, I am going to attempt to post a link on this Blog and Twitter to a track from a different music genre every day (unless I am away or forget!). I may not like many of the genres but this wouldn't be a challenge if I did! You may not agree with some of the choices, you may not like them, I may not like them! Feel free to discuss and post your own.

I will be using the list here 

I am doing this in the hope I discover great new music. I hope it broadens my musical horizons and yours. I encourage you to get involved and post your pick on the "mostly" daily genre.
