2008 ! let's go...every blogger and his dog has done a chart so here's mine (all be it a little late, but who cares ?). okay, track wise my faves were:
1. still going - theme
2. unique 3 - theme (autechre remix)
3. whitest boy alive - 24k
4. holy ghost - hold on
5. gino soccio - love is (prince language re-edit)
most stuff at the cinema was shit, so let's not go there (ditto TV).
blog wise, american athlete was a worthy runner-up. the winner by a mile was the red room. i'm telling you, the guy knows his shit. links to both on the right. there are more good people who i must bring to your attention, so i'll be adding them to the joe bloggers list over the next week or so. i'm just gonna keep on doing what i'm doing - a picture, a track and some bollocks. you love it though don't you ? why else are you here ? certainly not for the latest tracks at 320kps that's for sure. if i was one of those blogs i'd be giving you hot chip's latest single ready for the floor. i've had it for a few months now but the guy who looks like brains from thunderbirds needs to eat. it's catchy as fuck by the way and is out in the u.k. on 28th january. okay, enough of plugging the famous. how about someone not so famous ?
step forward jason esquivel, who got in touch to tell me about his space talk mix. i haven't been that keen on some of the newer stuff i've heard recently but after hearing chicken lips, dj koze, kano (not the english one !) and an uncredited barry mason track (the new faze action mix of get your body) i think you should hear it too. he's got joakim as a friend on myspace, so he's going places. get aboard his melodic italo train now ! oh, and the clever bastard has even done some of his own edits. check him out at

i had two weeks off over christmas and really chilled out. got pissed a few times but luckily stayed off the chocs and cake and lost half a stone (seven pounds to my american chums). i went home to see my parents and catch up with some old pals. it's weird, i spend all my time wanting to go back to my roots...but when i get there i realise i want to get away. it's not that i don't like my family and friends, more that it's never going to be how i remember it as a kid. ah well, i suppose my life isn't all bad. especially when you see the dreadful scenes occuring in kenya at the moment. but i ain't here to politicise, so the show must go on.
the lady in the picture (patrice rushen) did a monster track some years ago. this old nightclub i was working at was throwing out a box of disco/funk/soul 12"s and i rescued them. amongst them was forget me nots which george michael used for some shite and will smith bloody murdered for the men in black soundtrack. so it was left to a scotsman to treat one of her other records with respect. harri has been resident dj (along with domenic capello) at the sub club in glasgow since the year dot. with love and affection (and sort of naming himself after a bottle of brown sauce) he crafted a house monster that always gets the girls dancing (take note kids, that is the first rule of dj-ing). using huge chunks of haven't you heard, boys and girls i give you
daddy's favourite - i feel good things for you
