This morning I received an email from Cauldron Living announcing the launch of their online, streaming, pagan-focused music station, Cauldron Living Radio. They kindly offer a button to make free content available to sites that want to offer some music to their readers. So, if you scroll down to my buttons section on the right, you will see the new addition and you can click to play. I haven't heard much of it so I am not vouching for the listenability of their playlist but I thought it might be fun to give it a try.

On another note: For quite some time I have been thinking about creating an iMix to post on iTunes that consists solely of songs with the word "witch" in the title and are songs that I would actually enjoy listening to (because I've found a few that I don't!). Below the fold is the list that I've come up with so far. Not all of these songs are available at the iTunes store, so I'll have to talk to Apple about that to see what we can do. I think iMixes are required to be purchaseable (I like making up words). The next thing I will have to do is find a way to actually stream the iMix from Blogickal. Now that would be cool!

Waking the Witch is a wonderful collective of four women singer-songwriters from Yorkshire. Charlie Gillett, host of BBC radio's Sound of the World says this about them: "I love them for resisting any temptation to qualify as a folk group - their repertoire is mostly autobiographical, often funny, and only occasionally lapses into soppy love songs. It’s always a bit of a surprise, when a feisty woman turns sentimental; but as they so often do, I should have got used to it by now." Their two CDs, Hand and Bridges and Like Everybody, are available to purchase online - only from UK sites as far as I can tell (they have a "Buy CDs" link on their homepage). While none of their songs have the word witch in the title, I might just put one of their songs in the iMix because, well, they're just that good.

I ask two things of you my loyal readers (I do have some of you, right?). First is that you let me know if you like Cauldron Radio so I will know whether or not to continue to devote valuable Blogickal real estate to their button. And second, is to make suggestions for witchy additions to my iMix.
