Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas, everyone! Thanks for dropping by this dusty, old blog for yet another year of mayhem. I promise to upgrade the site next year or die trying. Anyway, have a great break and stay tuned for my 'best of' countdowns.

A Cascada Christmas Album - The Perfect Gift For Someone You Hate!

Forget about evacuating the dancefloor. If you're plagued by unwanted guests this yuletide, simply spin Cascada's Christmas album and watch the fuckers flee like Usain Bolt.

The iconic duo have even recorded a new song called "I Think You Might Like It", which is billed as a sequel to "You're The One That I Want". I'm crying!
