Have Yourself A Merry...by the Pretenders..
I get goosebumps.
M.I.A.'s Piracy Funds Terrorism. Bit of a mixed bag, ups and downs as she rattles through tracks of her own and bootleg mixes (of, amongst others, the Bangles' Walk like an Egyptian!). But two tracks in the mix I really like are #8, The Clipse / Definition of a Roller and #9, M.I.A. / Cutty Ranks.
a whole bunch of kraftwerk. made best of cd for the neice. complete with a wicked red cover.
btw nimh. got hold of some fad gadget. still sounds fun.
hey, did you ever get into any of the really spacey eurobeat stuff like jarre or cerrone ?

yep. his stuff was very popular when i worked in record stores (
record stores. says a lot about how long ago it was...
)
you could find hiding out among all of the cheesey disco, some really great electronic stuff. jarre was one of the biggies. it's been so long that i don't really remember titles, but it was pretty good stuff. the cool thing is, most of it was done without the sophisticated sequencers that we have today. there was a hell of a lot of real, live playing going on. which is of course, why it didn't sound mechanical. just smooth, trippy and beautiful.

No, not really ... friend of mine had a Jean-Michel Jarre album, I did like it, but - never got any myself.
I have this Fad Gadget 7" - "Human nature" -- truly claustrophobic stuff, the B-side track too, impressive.
I'm listening to Tricky's album "vulnerable."
I'm listening to the quiet hum of my computer...
Phil Spector's 'A christmas gift for you'. Bah. Humbug.
Merry Christmas, hingehead.
Funky hip-hop mix with plenty of old school too, Grandmaster Flash, Doug E. Fresh, Big Daddy Kane, KRS-One, but also Missy Elliott, Mos Def, De La Soul, Talib Kweli, Jurassic 5, Jay Dee, Dizzee Rascal, MF Doom, Luke Geraty, Latyrx, a Jill Scott track, from France there's 113's Tonton du Bled (rhymes with oh yay), from Holland Ali B. and D-Men ... coming up still some Nas, Q-Tip, Skinnyman, Redcloud, Stetsasonic ... oh yeah.
