    Last Christmas Heroes – Wham vs Bowie

    And finally this mashup is released – my other Xmas track -the Taylor Swift one got chosen for Bootie Xmas but I think this one is a classic festive sadbanger (well it’s euphoric as well, oddly) This was one of the other tracks under consideration for the Bootie Xmas 7 compilation….but I think it’s the…

    So soon after the death of Ian Allen, Don Joyce of Negativland died yesterday. He joined Negativland in the early 1980’s and also ran the KPFA ‘Over The Edge’ show for three decades. One of the many shows were the Time Zones project – a fascination of radio, Time Zones and the elusive C.E. Friday…
