Hello, and happy New Year! We’re starting off 2009 with a look back at our favorite songs of the year. Many of the tracks come from 12” singles, EPs, and albums that we couldn’t fit into our last show. Have a dance, and enjoy! We’re also excited to announce that the show will now be streaming live every Thursday night, 9-11 PM (Eastern) on WCRS. Playlist Download 01/01/2009

After our endless laboring, debating and reflecting on a year’s worth of music, it all comes to this. We’re closing out the year with a collection of tracks from some of our favorite albums of 2008. It’s been a great year back on the air, and many thanks to WCRS and all of our listeners in Columbus, elsewhere, and beyond. Below you’ll find our consensus “10 Beat Oracle Approved: 08 Edition,” as well as our individual recommendations and favorites. We’ll return on New Year’s Day with an intense mix of our favorite singles (12”, Remix, and non-favorite album tracks) from the year. So stay tuned for more “future music” in 09.
