About to head off to the wilds of Surbiton to see John, probably be online in one way or t’other but y’all have a Happy Scroogemas and Bah Humbug New Year! Happy HanuKwanzaWinterDrinkymas!

So to celebrate my commiserations of the season, here is my Bah Humbug exclusive compilation I gave out to people who came to the 2nd Radio Clash night in 2005 (also called Bah Humbug!) – was that 4 years ago? Wow. I’m uploading this because I met up with Kirk last night and he said he still listens to it every Xmas while wrapping presents, so it definitely gets the Coverley Classic ™.

Also reuploaded the Bah Humbug mix also from 2005, you’ll get a bit of deja vu from this but it’s an expanded version of this compilation – but in lower quality to get the filesize…and it’s mixed!

You can get a zip file of the compilation here – enjoy! Or don’t, grinches!

I live near Abbey Road so I just popped out and took these pictures – the ones of the tourists recreating the famous picture (and blocking the traffic in the process) are priceless – including the one below!

Here’s the second of the Parkade Flashback series – it’s a short, angry and rather rude mix from 2007 (you might have guessed from the title) and utterly exclusive. How do I know that? Well I recorded it when no-one was in the room at the Parkade, hence the ‘Empty’ bit – one of the down sides of DJing in Second Life and generally is when no-one turns up – I assure you this rarely ever happened, I always had at least a small attendance for my gigs in SL, but it does happen every once in a while.

So I vented my frustration via the medium of music

When i interviewed rx oh so many years ago, I did ask him if he’d do more UK-related cutups – nice to see he’s finally done one (well it’s the second if you count ‘Should I Stay or Should I go’

In other related news, the twitter was ablaze with questions for David Cameron this morning via Reuters, Documentally and Sizemore and co., but looks like the Tories didn’t totally understand social media. Ah well…not our loss

First person to say ‘Scrooge’ gets a Marxist boot up their arse
