The Contours
Hi chicks and cats! As you may have noticed, there's no post concerning December 30, 2011. Indeed, I recorded this particular show in duo with Cyrille, a fellow disc-jockey at Campus Grenoble. And as a matter of fact, the show was recorded in French ; so I guess it's a bit irrelevent to include it here. But you know what, if you people want to here it, just leave a message and I'll post it on the blog.
Anyway, I'm glad to present you the first Shindig! from 2012! (originally broadcasted on January 6, 2012) :
