cd's like this and that keb darge shit for example makes me realise every time how cool i became!! and why the hell they ask them to pick songs??
Hi Anonymous - You take the time to leave a negative comment, but not any positive comments for our work? I think Mark Lamarr has compiled some very inspired collections over the years, as has Keb Darge. You are not cool, don't fool yourself.
Thank you for this one and Happy Holidays.
thanks for this and all the great work through 2012, look forward to sharing 2013 with you
I count myself among those who don't thank you enough, and figure that now's a good time to attempt to change that-- Thanks, RYP and Gyro, for all you do.
Happy Holidays, and keep on keepin' on!
I'll keep my comments to Anonymous left unsaid.
All Best,
Bruce
I love it rare Christmas music.
Keep them coming.
thanks RYP & GYRO,
he was also the best presentator of Never Mind The Buzzcocks
(btw. keb darge collections are awesome)
greetings

Thanks
Merry Christmas Mr. Gyro and Mr Pony! Thx for all the great stuff you have posted. Can't say anything about this one yet, as I am downloading it but looking at the setlist, it'll be a lot of fun!
Thanks everyone here who visits our blog. Thanks for all the great feedback, it's always appreciated. We have a lot of fun here at Twilightzone. Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy Holiday Season.

Have some nice days!

ooh look it's Dave dickhead & shitface Stefan...
hip hip hip! this blog ROCKS! every post is a gift. i don't comment always, only when i see someone being ungrateful. for me Mark Lamarr is a legend, his knowledge of music is second to none. shake rattle and roll was one of my favourite best show EVER! anyhow its not about the person who chooses the music, its the music they've chosen that matters. are you telling me that ya don't dig anything from any of the compilations of keb darge or mark lamarr? some people are just looking for an excuse to bring everyone down! many thanks
