Just a few words on my opinion of what’s going on in Ireland at the moment. I had intended on writing something like this for a while now, but I guess, given it was Paddy’s Day this week, that now is an appropriate time to post it. Things seem to be quite healthy regarding Irish…
So yeah, my spring break trip to Chicago may or may not have resembled the above picture, I’ll leave that to you to figure out. On the real though, I had a good time chilling with my boy Noleian Reusse and crew at Transamoeba Studios. I’m gonna do a full post on the trip where…
Just a couple of exciting things for people to look out for in terms of classic Chicago house. First up a new Let’s Pet Puppies release is on the way, this time it’s a reissue of the silly rare Jody “Fingers” Finch Jack Your Big Booty from 1986. Lovingly remastered and pressed on heavy vinyl…
Since many excellent records weren’t released until closer to the end of 2008, it took me a while to listen to them closely and really zero in on a few that hadn’t been reviewed here yet. Here are a few standouts (some are hidden in the links): The revisited X-102 album As the name suggests,…

So yeah, the plan to post this during the relevant year was a failure. But it doesn’t detract from the greatness of the music!
First off, I don’t really mind making end of year lists as it gives me something to mull over on a quiet night-shift in work and every year there are always records that stand out for me, so it’s not the most painful thing to do. I stopped buying records a couple of weeks ago…
There’s more and more new stuff stacking up as the year winds down, hopefully things will be a little more evenly distributed next year! Before I move on to talking about these records, I want to give a shout out to my man Carleton and his Mass Communications class. I sat on a panel of…
