Happy arbitrary milestone, Comfort Music!
Hey, tomorrow it's the blog's birthday - we started posting July 12th, 2004, a whopping four years ago, and to celebrate, CHECK OUT THE PHAT NEW REDESIGN!
I really wanted to do something special for the birthday this year, but all that occurred to me was to do something lazy instead. So here are all the songs I posted in our first week of existence, back when I was still posting five times a week. That week, I was running with an "old favorites of mine" theme to warm up to daily publishing, so the songs weren't even particularly timely when I first posted them. Isn't it awesome how much less timely they are today! (I'm pretty sure for the blog's fifth birthday, I'll be posting from my K-Tel Super Hits of the Week of July 12th, 1978 box set.) Still, I will take my first week against any other music blogger's first week, any day. That week was bright, shiny, filled with promise and ambient techno. It's all those subsequent weeks where things start to go very, very wrong for Comfort Music.
Anyway, whatever. Back to normal laziness next week.
The Grid - Angel Tech (feat. Sheila Chandra)
jhno - my mind is aglow
Lush - Undertow (Spooky Remix)
Voodoo Warriors of Love - Believe
Joi - Asian Vibes
Recoil - Red River Cargo
23 Degrees - Going Fast (Trail Mix)
The Starseeds - Heavensairportcoffeeshoprestaurant
Sola - Set Free
Pigeonhed - Glory Bound (Dave Ruffy Mix)

Congratufreakinglations, and thanks so much for such a wonderful source of music.
Elbow has been one of those life-changing discoveries through Comfort Music, and for that, I'm much obliged.

Congratulations & Happy Birthday. I have purchased more music as a result of hearing the artists featured on your site than any other source by far. Cheers.

Happy Belated birthday Comfort Music! 4-years of MP3 lovings and some of the more entertaining commentary to be enjoyed... and love the random references to the Playa.

Happy B-Day, just wanted to saw thanks. I liked the Sola track so much that I previewed and then bought the whole album from emusic. The whole record is fantastic.

Happy Birthday, and thanks for all of the great posts.
I hate to complain, but this green layout gives me a migraine - it's practically seizure inducing. My favourite Comfort music design was the pink version. I didn't like purple as much, but it grew on me quick, so hopefully green will turn out the same.
