Hello… and Croseo, Bienvenue, Bienvenido, Willkommen/Guten tag, Välkommen, Salaam, Ykoso and welcome to what is a quite an international music mix with bands and artists from nine different countries. It’s almost like a magical mystery tour – what a good name for an album.
After the last two mixes (the BBQ and Anniversary ones) where we concentrated on older established bands that were selected by contributors, I’ve decided to try and highlight as many new bands and artists as possible. Artists like Jean-Michel Jarre, Los Lobos and that spring chicken Richard Thompson as this is, I believe what you want – to discover new songs by new artists (I was joking about the 3 guys above Ken). Hopefully you will like and explore further. Read more…

"I remember, when in my teens, having friends round to listen to music. In my bedroom we'd play our favourite records, chat about bands, discuss what we did and didn't like with the current music scene - I would like this blog to be the same. So feel free to listen to my music-mix, read my album reviews and join in with the discussions - welcome to musicforthemonth.com"
This month's music mixes for download ~ free to a good home!
