December 2011 Funky House Music
These are the tunes I've added to my crate for December 2011. Remember, these are 12" versions, so you'll probably need to scrub in to between 1 min and 90 seconds to get to the meat of the track. Mostly funky house with a sprinkling of deep house here and there. Mark & Stephens - Freak Emotion [xrr rating=6.5/10 imageset=tiny_star label="Track ...

Awesome Halloween Light show. Michael Jackson is a House. LMFAO has a mortgage.

And pumkins are kind of cool, but nowhere near as cool as the videos below. These are lightshows put together by the world's most amazing neighbour. The 2011 theme is LMFAO's Party Rock and the 2010 showcase is Michael Jackson's ...

Described by it's makers as "Team collaboration with real time chat" it does just what it says on the box. Initially our team was using MSN and then later Skype, but Campfire has a few features that lead me to ...

New Ceelo Green – You Promised Me Love (download)
Fresh new music from everyone's favourite pimp-slash-ladykiller Ceelo Green. The production is very minimal which makes lots of room for Ceelo's amazing vocal (and there's a lot of it going on in this song). http://lesterhein.com/audio/CeeLo_Green-You_Promised_Me_Love.mp3 [download ...
