Meanwhile, I'll be traveling up to Vermont for a couple of days, so I won't be posting for a while. I made a mixtape for the roadtrip up there, and thought I'd post it here for you to listen to in the meantime.

The song's A Fifth Beethoven by Walter Murphy & The Big Apple Band, remixed by Soulwax. What could be better you say? Another Soulwax remix? Well, it's made by the guys over at Klip Collective.

It's a cover of WHAM's Last Christmas and a truly great gift from the gal DJ all the way over in Nagoya, Japan. A beautifully woven mass of Christmas bells, techno kits, and radiating synthesizers, the track's enough to wham the Christmas spirit into any robot's heart.
