Utility Fog

Sunday, 2nd of January, 2005

Wow! It’s 2005! And I’m 31! It’s my birthday today, so I’ve decided to… well, effectively to give myself a much bigger job by going all-out with a genre-defying show of “stuff wot I like”. We had gypsy-klezmer, folk-jazz, indie-punk, you name it, with a bit over half-hour drum’n'bass mix at the end, just to add some regional colour to the proceedings. Back to normal next week, I promise!
