You were there for Readers recommend when the rain started to fall. You were there for Readers recommend like you've been there before. And so on. Thanks for helping me fill this week's friendship playlist. After last week's avalanche of aural unpleasantness, investigating these recommendations was a tonic, albeit one with the occasional tang of saccharine.
I assume everyone's found their way to the new blog by now. It should be much simpler to use. This week's playlist, along with a complete archive of previous columns and blog entries, the FAQ and the A-Z, can be found at http://music.theguardian.com/readersrecommend, so you might want to bookmark that. If you notice any broken or misdirected links, let me know.
Now I want you to recommend songs about guns - ones which reference pistols, rifles, cannons, machine guns, bullets and shootings. Pretty self-explanatory, right? Please note that we've already had Johnn Cash urging Don't Take Your Guns to Town and the Breeders agreeing with the Beatles that Happiness is a Warm Gun. Everything else is a legitimate target. Take your best shots.
I'm afraid we still have that pesky cut-off. So if you want to make sure your post gets through, the deadline is 8am on November 6.
