This was a long night for me guys, because guess who has exams this week. This guy. Truthfully, as I was DJing, I was also trying to glue tiny print-outs of photographs for my history of photography flash cards after an hour of sleep beforehand.

On the show I read the Edgar Allan Poe poem "The Bells" to go with the various bell-themed songs I played. I suggest you take another look at the poetry if you like it.

I really have very little to say about this show, except that I'm happy that I got to play some Christmas music, and I really hope that you like it.

Santa Claus is coming to town...:

1. Bells: I think that the entire "bells" section of my show was very interesting, and I think that it took an interesting direction, and one that I didn't expect. I like the story that I told by doing this. Thanks for my friend Sophie for inspiring this!
2. Cassette Town: I used a cassette guys! My first cassette use ever! And it sounded REALLY GOOD. Cassette's are higher quality than I thought. 
3. Mexicali Brass: Dayum, this is good stuff. I can't wait to play more. 

You better watch out...:

1. Bells: I love and hate what I did with the "bells" section of my show, to be honest. I love Carol of the Bells, and I'm glad I had a story to share with you, but my choice to play Rachmaninoff's "The Bells" without any layering whatsoever is dubious though. What do you think?
2. Not enough layering: I don't know what was wrong, but I was not feeling the layering tonight. I'm so sorry. I hope you will still listen to my show.

Gib mir feedback!
