Christmas Acquisition Show!!

Happy New Year to all! I hope your holidays were pleasant and warm, and that new special memories were made. Mine went great - low key but I like them that way.

I apologize to anyone who tuned in New Years Day, originally I was supposed to be on, but the station manager changed his mind about a week before (I think one too many other djs were planning on a certain headache that day!). Anyway on the next show I'll do some of the give-aways that I promised.

I'm looking forward to this Tuesday's show (1/8/13). The theme is simply sharing with you the fine Christmas haul I received, along with some vinyl that's been on my mind these last few days. Below (and above) are pictured the cds on the playlist - as you can see, I did well! Fun & variety is ensured, so tune in and we'll hang together. The record party starts at 3pm eastern. Til then! - DJ Kendo
