Even though you can't buy music from iTunes - unless you have a credit-card billing address in the US, UK or Oz - you can still use the sites to listen to music that one day you may be able to acquire legitimately. As all responsible NZBC readers would wish to - Limewire and BitTorrent are not for us. Oh no.

So you too can listen to the "Celebrity Playlist" of Richard Hawley, whose Coles Corner was one of the albums of 2005, at least for men of a certain age.

His playlist is a, frankly, shit-hot collection of mostly rootsy music ranging from Sam Cooke and Etta James to Echo and the Bunnymen via Pink Floyd and Scott Walker. And he saves the best till last - Sanford Clark's "The Fool", which I'd never heard of but was produced by Lee Hazlewood so is of course brilliant.
