Your humble and happy host chows down on the digi.

So, the year is winding down, but it doesn't have to be a sad goodbye to 2006. It was an eye-opening year for ESB, mainly because of the stunning ability of the blogosphere to be so far ahead of the game when it came to the freshest unreleased cuts and remixes from around the world. There are too many higlights to mention. Every week , every show, was a new adventure for us, and we're all the better for it, listeners and artists alike.

It should be no surprise, then, that we've got a lot to look forward to in 2007. We've already cracked open some early gifts, with new tracks from the likes of Simian Mobile Disco and LCD Soundsystem, so let's bank on it that the next 365 will be a full-on wild ride through the blogosphere on a shimmering comet.
