2005

It's the 31st today and i can not close the year without making lists! There are so many albums i have not listened to yet, and there are so many i haven't listened in their entirety that making a list of my favorite albums of 2005 is a bit hard. So really this list reflects what full albums i listened to the most in 2005. I did see a lot of great shows this year though...

Favorite 5 albums of 2005:
Fiona Apple - Extraordinary Machine
Calla - Collisions
Maximo Park - A Certain Trigger
Benjamin Biolay - A L'origine
Nouvelle Vague - Nouvelle Vague

calling all kids!

Been quiet around here... it's cause i'm resting up before the new year starts! Beginning next wednesday eamon and i are starting a new weekly dance party that we're really excited about. The party actually started in London, and we're bringing it over here as a little cross-atlantic collaboration. It's gonna be awesome, we intend to spin the best mix of dance and rock, and bring the coolest guest DJs around. Not to mention, Sapphire is one of the best kept secret venues in the lower east side... perfect size, great vibe and best sound system ever!! So here we go children, hope to see you all at CALLING ALL KIDS! every wednesday night starting january 4th!!!
