OK I lied about the last show being the last one of 2006 – I wasn’t going to do a best of show (I usually think they’re an excuse to go off down the pub early) but I noticed some criminal absences in the best of 2006 mashup lists like Anti Hit List and CultureBully – some amazing tracks that should be there (and some really old tracks that shouldn’t).

And got so annoyed about that I did a podcast…
So here is Radio Clash’s Best of 2006!

Santa at BahHumbug

I Spy with my Little Copy of Jungle Boogie…
So on Day 4,574 of Traffic Island Castaway and the residents are getting restless. They’ve eaten all the canapes, danced on top of the bollard (BOLLARD!) mooned at all the drivers going by and are now strewn by the kerb trying to catch a pack of pringles if they drift by.

So they get down to finishing the show and there are Traffic Island Discs by Kirk, Lee from I Motor Away, Bicyclemark, a few messages and a few new TV reality ideas are born….

More pics from Traffic Island here.
