Make it stop
I'm still waiting to shake off the christmas lethargy and lead you steaming into 2006 with some smoking new records.
Maybe tomorrow.
Until then, please go and visit Dilated Choonz... an MP3 blog with seriously fantastic tunes AND a conscience! The blog is running until February 18th in order to promote a party on that date in aid of 'Stop the Hiding' - a charity helping victims of domestic violence.
No doubt the party will feature domestic abuse favourites 'Smack my Bitch Up', 'Women Beat Their Men', and as many versions of 'i'll beat that bitch with a bat' as they can squeeze in.
Or maybe not.

Seriously though, you must listen at least to Carl Craig's majestic 'Desire'; Speedy J's 'De-Orbit'; Willis' version of 'Word Up'; Juan MacLean's 'Give me Every Little Thing'; The House Crew's 'Keep The Fire Burning'; Tori Alamaze's far superior original version of 'Don't Cha'; Dinosaur's classic 'Kiss Me Again' and best of all the rare 'ardcore classic 'Finest Illusion' by Foul Play.
A nifty little play facility on each post means you do so with ease. I may have to beg Kevin for the code!
Hopefully they should keep you busy till I pull my thumb out, but if not mi amigo Steve - a man of impeccable taste (and pictured staggering around Riga here) - sent me this list of records, complete with recommended track from each, he's enjoyed this year.
Amblance Ltd. - self titled - Ophelia
Architecture in Helsinki - in case we die - In case we die (parts 1-4)
*Art Brut - bang bang rock n roll - modern art
Who made who - who made who - the loop
Bitstream - domestic economy 7 - open sesame
Ellen Allien - thrills - come
Broadcast - tender buttons - america's boy
Neutral Milk Hotel - in the aeroplane over the sea - in the aeroplane over the sea (re-released i think)
Deerhoof - the runners four - wrong time capsule
Love is All - nine times that same song - spinning and scratching
Richard Hawley - cole's corner - born under a bad sign
*The Decemberists - picaresque - we both go down together
*New Pornographers - twin cinema - sing me spanish techno
*Aimee Mann - the forgotten arm - video
Sleater Kinney - the woods - jumpers
Ladytron - witching hour - destroy everything you touch
Bonnie Prince Billie and Matt Sweeney - superwolf - bed is for sleeping
The Tears - here come the tears - refugees
Gillian Welch - caleb meyer
Alexander Kowalski - hot spot girls (jesper dahlback rmx)
Steve says "' * If you cannot be arsed or feel you need to prioritise then go for these first "
Personally i've only listened to about 4 of those albums myself, so do let me know if you agree (or don't) with any of Steve's picks.
Maybe tomorrow.
