deux mille huit

Hello! I've been completely MIA, trying a new game called 'how long can i go without posting?' It was really hard staying away from this site, but i lasted over a month... ok, i'm kidding. The lack of updates was pure distraction, laziness, or simple shortage of things to say. The truth is, in 2008, i'd like to take this blog to new directions, a little less music, a little more lifestyle, and include a variety of topics that interest me. The first step towards the new direction is the need for a new site design and complete system overhaul, which i hope to start soon (if anyone feels like helping, drop me a note). Until then, i'll try to keep up with regular updates.

Well, I can't believe 2007 is already over. It was an amazing year all around, i started working with my favorite band, deejayed fabulous parties, listened to loads of good music, started my own radio show, saw less but better shows, traveled a lot, and got married! Instead of posting favorite albums and shows, i will start the new year by sharing my latest obsession, a song by Die Romantik (the said favorite local band i work with). They wrote this little Christmas number that sounds better than anything else i've heard recently, enjoy...

Die Romantik :: Christmas Eve [MP3]

My EVR show was off during the holidays, but you should listen to the last show of the year, which featured the best of all the french pop i played since on the air in march. And tune in next week, when i'm back with new musique.

Happy 2008!
