December Goodness

A mix in two parts reflecting what I acquired in the last month of the year, mostly funny house things and euro-disco stuff. The first mix is probably the best I’ve done so far in terms of flow between tracks (this was an accident). The second is a bit more shoehorned together and includes a surprise appearance by Altered Images (this was an accident).

Hard Disk Brain Dump

Here are three mixes from the selection of songs in my regular George and Dragon virtual bag. They are grouped by speed rather than genre, so they don’t exactly flow at certain points. There is lots of stuff you will probably know mixed in with my usual disco-y favorites.

Slowest runs the gamut of love from the sacred (You are my love) to the profane (Makin’ love keeps you fit) via lots of nice things like Dusty Springfield.

Medium has some lovely Moroder (First hand experience of second hand love), goes a bit electro and then includes both Yello and Sparks, reflecting my love of duos with synthesizers and facial hair.

Fastest starts disco and works towards a peak of the Human League’s very underrated early nought-ies comeback, winding down to possibly Abba’s weirdest lyric (banned in the USSR, for obvious reasons).
