Happy New Year to all my readers !!

Well, as 2008 draws to a close, and a close that can't come quick enough for a lot of people, I thought I'd extend my best wishes to you all for the coming year. Whilst I haven't been THAT prolific, 2008 is second only to 2006 in terms of post count ;o)

In 21 days time, we will see a new President in the White House. If Barack Obama's inauguration isn't enough to inspire you to make 2009 the year of change for good, then I don't know what will.

2008 has opened my eyes to many new artists, and to many new instruments and pieces of gear. Watch out for Little Boots and Rubicks, my two top tips for 2009.

So, whilst I feast my eyes and ears on two of my best Xmas pressies (the Zang Tumb Tuum box set and Prince's 21 Nights book and Indigo Nights live CD), I wish you all great peace and love for the coming year.
