by playing around with something that was already good to begin with. I tried to update my "morning walk to work" playlist. The delicate balance of tunes that would prepare me for the day ahead has been totally disturbed and I can't get it back on track.I mean, after 6 or so months of listening to the same tunes (often in different order all bar 1), I felt like I needed some new tunes thrown into the mix. How wrong could I possibly be! Rarely, if ever, would I hit the button to skip a tune after only a few a few bars of intro. But now it's like : Next... No...
So any suggestions for good morning artists? And please if anyone suggests music along the pop route then wipe those thoughts from your mind immediately. So far the tracks that I will salvage and will remain are by artist like Nick Drake, Grand National and Jose Gonzales. Floaty guitar, a little bit of high standard production and maybe just a smattering of brilliant indie electronic (but please, no dance. My walk to work is for keeping a clear head, not for bopping along the side of a road). Something new would be good.

Some of Goran Gora's tracks might appeal. He has a new single up on his myspace player: Control.

Then try "The Girl in the Backseat"
One of my morning 'train tracks' which I like to play super loud is "Hold On" by K T Tunstall. may be a bit poppy for you but I'm a bit of a girl! Bizarrely "Proud Mary" by Ike & Tina Turner always makes me grin huge on the train too.
