< / 2008 >

SO NICE TO DO A VERY CURRENT 2008 REVIEW...FORGETTING ALL THE BULLSHIT AND HYPE THAT WAS 2008 AND JUST GOING DOWN TO THE MEAT AND BONES OF WHAT I LOVED COMING OUT THE MESS OF NEON AND SNAP! THE MOOD IS THE ANTETHISIS OF RETROSPECT...I'M LOOKING AT NOW AND FORWARD...HOUSE MUSIC WON...I DIDN'T SEE THAT COMING, BUT THE YEAR IS DEAD AND SOUTH AFRICAN HOUSE AND KWAITO IS REALLY DESTROYING MY STEREO AND CREDIBILITY AROUND THE YARD WITH MY GRAND MAMA.
