Happy Holidays. Hope everyone enjoys the eggnog & rum (maybe too much), family functions, not having to work with all your co-workers whom you despise, wool-knit sweaters, good books and lounging in housecoats all day. Oh yeah, go to Church to talk with Jeebus & Co., and for god sake, hold the door for old ladies when you're out cruising for sales during these difficult economic times.
Here is some Paul McCartney magic. A couple years ago, when I was DJing more often, I found a great Baltimore breaks remix of this song...by Scottie B or...I dunno, anyways, if you know what I'm talking about please drop me a line.
Lastly, besides my absolute holiday favorite:
check out the Soul Santa mix podcast:
This is great to cleanse the palette after having to endure all the shitty Christmas music when you're out shopping. It was done by DJ JBX of Big City Records on 12th st, in NYC. Great record store, and a great holiday mix:
