This time it almost feels like spam as I don't post here much anymore... Anyway, for those who are interested:
Change! In decades the year 2008 will be known as the year of "Change". Not only due to the fantastic historical election of Obama but also because of the downfall of the global economic system.
For the first time I tried not only to include my musical perception but also some news highlights. I might try to include something like this every year from now on as it makes it an even more complete annual survey. I always imagine how it'll sound in about 20 years when I put on the Best Of mixes. I bet that by including some news highlights the flashback power will rise much higher.
Although 2008 was a great year for me personally, the best of 2008 has a somewhat dark atmosphere.
Enjoy!

vlari: Yeah man, was about to skip this one though! In 2 weeks a little fellow will join our family... this will take some extra time.

That speech is historical!
My intention was to tweak the speech and make him say something else (like I did with the radioshow) but there wasn't enough useful stuff.
Thanks vlari :)

No way! it's a great homage in my opinion. He doesn't need it, he did it because he can.
Just like Redpoint, if they want to mask their influence then they wouldn't pick Redpoint as a name.

Those are some layered news highlightes and it's the intention to sound a bit chaotic. It expresses the media as it is nowadays.
A friend of mine used this "terror management" of todays media for his thesis a few years ago. I kind of used that idea.
The money advert halfway the mix is to show the absurdism of todays feudal system. One of the things that caused the credit crisis.
The Obama speech is historical, I just had to include that. :)

For your reassurance: you don't have to agree with everything.
Thank you for your expertise though!
