Playlist

WHAT IS

Following is a list with some of the artists that I recently played in my podcast. It’s linked to their MySpace page so you can easily test their music.

I will keep adding to it, so come back for inspiration every month or so.

WHAT FOR

Anyone craving sweet music for their souls can use this list!

There is no good music or bad music. It’s only good if you like it, so give it a try! I worked hard to bring these artists to your attention.

I would also use this list if:

• I was a playlist editor at a radio station
• I had a radio show playing music
• I was a DJ playing music at the parties
