It's been quite a prolific year on this blog, which I will bring to an end with more of my favourite songs from the past 12 months. Maybe one day I could compile a "Best of the 2010s" mix...
Personally, it's been a very difficult year, having been evicted from my home of many years and having to move away from South London where I have lived most of my life. Losing my independence, plus not seeing my friends or visiting my regular haunts I've found rather depressing and something I'm still trying to deal with over a year later. Immersing myself into this blog and compiling all of these mixes I've found somewhat therapeutic, helping keep me relatively sane with all the madness going on around where I am living now. Hopefully things will improve in the next year, though of course that could lead to much fewer posts!
Special thanks to my good friend Sarah who provided the original photo (which I've tweaked a little bit...) for the artwork. Happy new year to everyone and I hope you enjoy this latest collection of tunes.

All the best for the new year and big thanks for all your music gifts mate!
Sorry to hear of your troubles. I hope the coming year is better. Thanks so much for all the work you do!
Hello,
at first many thanks for the great work and effort doing here.
I am very sorry to hear about your private problems.
It is bad when circumstances of life take away the reference points and roots. It is good to hear that you have a good friend who is there for you. I wish you all the best for the new year 2020.
Mandy thanks and nice greetings from Germany
Cheers SB and hopefully 2020 will bring you more happiness than 2019 has.
Thanks for all the good wishes. I know I cannot carry on living where I am right now for another year, it's been very tough, but hopefully something will turn up and I can find somewhere else. Cheers.
Best wishes for you in 2020, SB. Many thanks for your yearly favorites!
Cheers from Detroit.
