I have remember many, but no doubt forgotten some, so to those I look
forward to thanking you personally.
We still have one more show for this year with an interview with France's
Cam, and (if he arrives in Melbourne in time) some selections from Sydney's
Gordon Watson.
Party wise, Open Sesame has been closed this week, but only because we're
saving it up for New Year's Eve at Honkytonks with myself playing alongside
Equatorial (live, featuring Lanu), Kano and Action Direkt. This is going to
be a festive night with the Honkytonks crew apparently going all out with
Mexican-style decor and pinatas. Tix from Honkytonks on 9662 4555. Hope you
have a great new year wherever you are.
Some projects for 2003:
- remix for SHQ's "Cubano Chant" (Cosmic Sounds - due out March)
- remix for Daniel Magg's "Set for Seizure" (Compost)
- Local People EP 002
- Other-Worldly Fusions 2
- Stylin archived online (listen anytime)
... and I'm out for 2002
