Christmas 2006


364 days a year this blog is dedicated to music I love, artists that should be heard, and songs to make you sing/dance/cry/make love (delete as the mood fits)… Christmas Day however is a very very special day. Its a day when we listen to music we’d rather die than hear for the other 364 days, but nevertheless I’ve hunted high and low (ie, blew some dust off the CD rack) to find a few truly great xmas tracks (and some others that at least don’t make you want to put those lovely new socks over your ears).

The Anti-Hit List (The year's best mash-ups)


The past 12 months have seen the mash-up attain a degree of legitimacy – most notably with the sanctioned release of Mark Vidler's masterful Doors/Blondie concoction, "Rapture Riders," albeit three years after its creation – yet also get shunted further to the margins as the form's novelty wears off. That duality may help explain the vitality of the highlights below. They reflect the push to go pro vs. the pull to remain purely amateur, which, come to think of it, is itself a mash-up.
