holiday party favors


hey yawl,

happy fill in the blank whatever you like holidays!

there's a zip file here (just right click and download) full of some of my favorite choons of 09 (maybe one or two from 08 that have been on constant repeat this year, too). after summing it all up, it's ironic, for me at least, to conclude that 09 was all about dubstep, or the fringes of it anyway (and now that i think about it, it's all sort of becoming house anyways, which seems to be the ultimate ruler of the electronic music food chain for the last, i dunno, 30 years). it's kind of a love/hate thing as most honest relationships are, but i just can't keep myself from masturbating over 2562, Martyn, Mount Kimbie, et al. anyways, there it is, so give it a listen if you want. at any rate it will make a good time capsule one day. are there enough commas in this paragraph?

  3. here is my top ten songs I heard on the radio in KC. Humor and remix ability is involved in the selection process. In no order

    -Fire Burning Sean Kingston
    -throw it in the bag- fabolous featuring the dream
    -tick tock by Ke$ha
    -run this town- that jay z track
    -birthday sex- Jeremih
    -day n nite- Kid cudi
    -loveGame- lady gaga- just cause of "this beat is sick, I wanna take a ride on your disco stick"
    -heartless- kanye- but only cause I dug the piano and the beat when driving, the whinny shit can drop. I repeat my self, I would rather hear an album called 303's and double D's instead of 808 and heartbreaks. You can't bring down the machine.
    -I know you want me- Pitbull- gets away with using the work "cock" 2 times in this track.
    -turning me on- keri hilson and Lil wayne- cause TWH dropped the melody of this in one of his mixes.
