December 18, 2009 - 'Twas the Week Before Christmas...

Indeed it was, and both the MC and the DJ were in fine form! Butch Goring's helmet was the main topic of conversation (for some obscure reason), and you probably learned more about his lid than you needed to. Lotsa laughs and great tunes too, featuring mashups by DJ Schmolli, Smith & Smart, Rillen Rudi, and the Rhythm Scholar.

Don't forget that on Friday December 25th, DJ Doc and MC Mic Control will be doing the Christmas Day show live...epic win! You'll hear the usual Impending Loom mix, all prepared with a special seasonal flair. Joyeux acid jazz, Tinsel-covered beats, a Sleighful of breaks, Kwanzaa ska and Reindeer reggae, a Festive garland of alternative 80s, Ho-ho-ho-hiphop (like Santa and unlike Tiger, we stop at three ho's), Christmas Canadiana, Xmas punk, Hannukah humour, Merry (re)mixes... and we will never ever forget the Fireplace full of funk (nor the Corn Nog)!
