My ears are alive, with the sound of music

As you will know, yesterday was valentines day. People all over the world were celebrating their love for one another, whilst I was celebrating for a different reason.
TREEFIGHT FOR SUNLIGHT'S ALBUM WAS RELEASED IN THE UK!!
Literally, I have been waiting since October-ish for it to be released over here. Lucky Danes, getting it before me - and with a different title and cover! But that's the problem when the majority of your music comes from foreign countries... 
Anyways, I stayed up 'till 1AM to buy it, (and subsequently fell asleep during the middle of the day...), but it was as sure as hell worth it!
"Facing The Sun" from the album was FREE, and is iTunes' single of the week! (Finally, some decent music...)

Music - The battle continues..

In my quest to bring good music to the people, I have arrived at a dead end. It seems that people actually quite like their lousy R 'n' B crap, and are not prepared to hear my side of the story. The have asked me what I listen to, so I give a list that sounds as if a "40-ish year old man" should be reciting it, much to their amusement. So I've had the superbly brilliant idea of compiling a list of 17 songs that to me, are the 'creme de la creme' of music. The genre is mostly alternative-rock, and I might create the modern equivalent of a mix-tape to play for them, as part of my "Bring Back Good Music" project, that so far is a messy mind-map scribbled on a napkin. Now this may sound a little pushy, and slightly invading on peoples private lives, but it needs to be done, no longer can we live with this rubbish excuse for music! I'd like it if someone would possibly read this list, and give me a few comments, perhaps help in the campain? - But please, constructive critism!
