Happy Birthday Paula grooveparlortv

Happy Birthday Paula 'Grooveparlor TV' Harris!!!!

47 tracks by legendary Chicago artists or labels or connections in under an hour. Yes I probably could have played all the tracks a lot longer / done a 10 hour epic / saved some for the next 3 years etc, but I kind of like this one.

2010 : Heroes of the year Number 9

Another joint winner today for being Ustream heroes of 2010. Earlier in the year, Friday evenings just meant pen and paper at the ready as Bake and ALL CAPS streamed their shows from Glasgow. The number of records I had to buy having first heard them through Bake is far too numerous to go through but pretty much all the dubstep, UK funky, juke and techno stuff I loved this year, he was onto it first.

The second Ustreamer who has changed my life for the better is Paula 'GrooveParlor TV' Harris whose Friday night shows have not only introduced me to a stack of both new and old classic records, but through the chatbox has lead to some of the most interesting conversations and friendships being formed, although I guess my chats with Karizma are probably more the former than the later.

The show below is the week regular host Steve 'Miggedy' Maestro was away and a certain Chi-town legend took over. I still can't quite believe we were able to put in requests to Rahaan!

Happy birthday Paula and Matthew!

Yesterdays choice of Kim English with a MAW remix was actually, by complete fluke, an even better choice than I first realised. Today is the birthday for two good friends, Paula Harris of Grooveparlor TV out of Chicago (as is Kim English) and Matthew McDonald of No Requests from New York (just like Masters At Work - see, genius!)

Anyway, to mark the day I had to put a little something together for them (much cheaper easier than sending that really expensive present I had lined up for each of them :)) so I thought of doing a little mix for Paula of all my (and hopefully her) Chi-town favourites.

And for Matthew, well unfortunately I did not realise it was his birthday until today but I'm sure he would appreciate me dedicating this one to him and his home town.
