We’re back, and we’re throwing our second consecutive New Year’s Eve party at the Slowdown! It’s hard to believe that it’s almost 2009. Time flies when you’re having fun. Damn you, Goo, for making us have fun and stealing time away from us! Here’s a song to commemorate the time that we’ve killed.

And to get us in the mood for tonight here’s a mix from the master of mash Immuzikation that combines some favorite tracks from 2008.

Immuzikation - Fortisphere (Kanye vs. Daft Punk vs. Justice vs. Diplo vs. A-Trak)

Now let’s party!

Although it will still be a while before Goo returns to a danse floor, we still feel the need to share good music with our friends. If we were to throw a party today, you can bet we would play something by this fine young lad. Jape has been called “the savior of Irish music” but we have no idea what that means!

We just know he’s good.

Goo favorite D.I.M. shows us how to make badass danse music without compromising the song.

Aww fuck, it’s Goo’s first birthday and we forgot to throw a party!
Wait a second, we haven’t thrown a party in a long time! What gives?
Well, those of you who know us also know that we have other things to do right now.

We’ll be back.
