Greets Everyone:
First, Happy New Year to everyone. I hope that 2007 was a good year for you, and may 2008 become your best year ever.

Next, apologies for the lack of updates. I’ve been extremely busy these last few weeks, and at the same time I needed to take some breaks to relax, unwind, reflect, and plan for the year ahead. I’m planning on it being my best year, and I feel it will be. Meanwhile, I have loads of info to share with you (videos, news, music, etc.) that I will be posting in the coming weeks. Also, look for my final recommendations of The Most Recommended Music of 2007, to be posted this month.

Last night’s show marked its 10th anniversary. Up until the last minute, I had to decide how I was going to handle the sort of music that I wanted to play. I’ve resolved myself on that issue, and that is that you will get a few 10th anniversary specials this year. Last night, I decided to focus on the albums that I’d consider classics of the show. Many of them are the usual suspects; others, were suprises. I already know that I’ll have to do another “albums” show because it’s impossible to fit them all in a special three-hour broadcast. In fact, the show ran about 3 hours, 40 minutes long. What I’m planning to do is to split the show in two to make it easier for you to digest the music. Quite a bit of focus has been on music from 1995-2000, with at least one album going all the way back to 1991, and another was from 2006. Otherwise, the choices were wide-ranging, and it felt really good to go to the wayback machine to play the tunes from choice albums that have held up well.

Other specials will focus on choice compilations, singles/EP’s, and maybe a “songs” show to pinpoint those specific tunes. We’ll see as the year moves forward.

I’m really looking forward to the big night–the show’s 10th anniversary celebration. It’s been several months in the making, and the lineup looks solid. We have eight DJ’s and a live band taking over two floors. The Mountain Bar is L.A.’s Chinatown is where all the craziness will take place. More on the event’s aftermath in a future post, but I hope you’ll be able to join me if you’re close and local.

It’s about time for me to get ready. Apparently, a strong storm is going to be following me on the long drive down to Los Angeles. Keep listening to the show, tell your friends, and all the best for your 2008. Peace.
