Yo Yo my peeeps! Well how about that SNOW??!! HuH??!! Lots of happy borders and skiers fer sure! I gave up boarding like 10 years ago...but that doesn't mean I can't rip on a snowmobile! which I had the pleasure of doing during the "first" blizzard on Friday night. Mad props to "some bitch"!!! Doing 90 across the fields (golf course) was sweeeeet! Now then..just wanted to say to EVERYONE happy holidays ..whatever it is you celebrate....do it safely and lets get ready to rock 2009 mmmkay? Next year starting January 11 2009 when Big Bang returns...the local / regional show... I will "informally" be paying tribute to ALL THE BANDS I BROKE in the past TEN years. Thats right...TEN big ones. (even though it's actually like ELEVEN years that I've been hosting/producing Big Bang) I'm just gonna play some great bands form the past, the between, and the now. I went through "my vaults" and let me tell you...I got a a TON of great stuff...from TETSUO to TIZZY, FUZBUNI - SHOOT THE DANCING BEAR to ONE EYED RILEY and STAIND and all points in between. Nuthing too fancy just spinning a ton of bands that "I" had the pleasure of playing first! Yeah, a fact that I'm very proud of...so tell all your friends to start listening if they aren't already, starting January 11,2009 it will be an all year long tribute to some of the coolest bands to come out of the Western Mass area in the past 11-12 years. Oh yeah! the same thing for NEW NOISE too! So now then...behold the last list of 2008....the playlist for Sunday, Dec 21 2008.......
