Hello and welcome to a new year of Work Tunes.
So the world ends this year apparently. At least if you're an ancient Mayan it does. Did anyone ever think maybe some Mayan calendar maker just got jack of adding year after year after year?
Listening to an 8 tracks mix the other night, I first heard the title song from I And Love And You, so I checked it out. I've also got the final release from The Beatles; the latest R.E.M. retrospective; new albums from Common, Weinland and The Do; a Smiths tribute; the soundtrack to Downtown 81 (a film released in 2000 but shot in 1981 starring Jean-Michel Basquiat); Spin's 2011 mix and finally, some Australian Hip Hop from Vents.
Check it out:

"Hey Bob, I got to December 2012 and I can't be stuffed!"
"Yeah, I don't blame you. Just finish there, no big deal. Who's going to care?"Regardless, this year we're going to party like it's 1999... again. And to start my working year right, I've got a few choice cuts.

That's it for now. No song of the week until next week, and no Top 5 Artists because I haven't been scrobbling. I can tell you I've been listening to a lot of Camera Obscura as well as a bit of the Beach Boys and other surf themed tunes thanks to the weather and some timely trips to the beach.
Hopefully your holidays were a great big bunch of fun and your new year is the best one yet. Be good to each other. Hasala malakim.
PS Support Hunter the Documentary and help get a film about Hunter made.
