For those of you who haven't noticed it over there ->> on the Music Forum, DiS has begun a daily feature aimed to highlight a song a day.
It's a really simple concept, each day a song is selected, written about and (if available) added to DiS' Song of the Day Spotify playlist. You can then respond to the song with a score or witty remark or whatever you like. This only started the first week of this year, which focussed on albums we're excited about due in 2010 and the second week had a loose theme of females whose voices make me shiver.
If you missed any of the tracks posted in the first fortnight, here's a digestible reminder...
