Folks,
End of December - ding-dong - the big old fat guy in the red suit will come to visit you soon. It means it's time for a Year-End Top List of the best albums you should buy from your favorite record store or stole from the internet. Anyway you won't be saved, but you can make people happy and maybe be happy yourself by offering some of these jewels to you and your best mates ; your choice to not stay a bastard.
Keep it hot in 2015,
LOVE YA!
Frédéric
