*NEWS*
The international edition of last week's broadcast, Part 1 of my
year-end shows (Friday December 5) focusing on my Most
Recommended Albums of 2003, is now online. Check the audio
links and the playlist below.
I wasn't able to squeeze all of the albums I wanted to represent
into the broadcast, but I've included those other choice albums
I recommend within the playlist. Keep in mind that the albums on
the list do not include compilations; that will be included in a
separate list.
*THIS WEEK: THE MOST RECOMMENDED SINGLES/EPs OF 2003
*Choosing the singles and EPs from 2003 was a more daunting task
than choosing the albums, and yet now the choosing is done. My
criteria was that the whole EP had to represent, as opposed to
merely sole reliance on a single tune. When singles were chosen,
both the original and the remix(es) had to make the cut.
*THE COMPLETE LIST OF PICKS FOR 2003
*You will have to put up with one more circular before the
year's done, and it will include a complete list of recommends
and favorites from 2003, along with this week's playlist for the
international edition of Friday's broadcast.
More coming in the final circular of 2003, coming next week.
Have a great weekend!
