---------------------------------------------------------

The original idea for this was to do a quick DJ-style mix of some of the music I'd really liked in 2010, as some sort of a 'internet gift' gesture to all the lunatics who still give half a shit about what I do (or don't do, more accurately). That idea didn't last long, as I soon realised new music in 2010 had almost completley passed me by. So I've thrown a few recent tunes in with a load of old ones, stirred it up overnight, shoved it into a limiter for 10 minutes and here's the result.

This is not 'Radio Soundhog Vol. 8', as that will never exist. This is probably the nearest thing I've done to a "regular dance music mix", so apologies to those expecting intricate cut and paste shizzle, but that's not to say that some bits aren't put together in a way that nobody else could. Or would want to? I've no idea. There are also nods to some people who left the planet in 2010 who meant a lot to me. Play it loud, play it drunk, but don't let the pips get stuck in your ears.

Human League remix thing...

...of their new record. 'Released' the other day, to no interest whatsoever, as per fucking usual.  It's very long, and probably too slow, at 120bpm, to get the drug-addled kids of 2010 throwing shapes on the dancefloors of the world. I'm very out of touch, and frankly I prefer it that way. It also features a chorus of singing synthesizer ducks, and Phil Oakey doing an impression of a Dalek doing an impression of Phil Oakey. I really know how to sell stuff, eh?
