Playlist 2008

Couple business items...I think I should have found a place on the best record list for the new David Byrne & Brian Eno release and the James Blackshaw record, but I didn't. I doubt they care.

Whammy. That's three full mix cd's of fun.

On a side note, I'm not too happy that people leading the whole "save the environment" fight calling it Global Warming instead of what it is, Global Climate Change. I want the warming, not the six inches of snow.

Enjoy your holidays, I suggest the 3 headed monster of Elvis, Neil and Bing...but that's only because I have impeccable taste.
