This is another tough one guys. 
It's that one night of the year where everyone just wants to have fun, let their hair down and party! You have to include a few classics in the list, but as we all know, a party can't survive on old time classics. There needs to be some fast paced current music with a great dancing beat. 
Me and my gorgeous wife will be ringing in the New Year in style in the Big Apple! So excited to be having a New York New Years experience.  With the weather currently at 6 degrees celsius in the balmy big apple, we received a nice surprise after leaving  a chilly minus 33 degrees celsius in Canada this morning! 

SO without further ado, here are my top 5 NYE songs for 2013….
1. "It's Tricky" - Run DMC 
2. "Timber" - Pitbull feat. Ke$ha 
3. "Wake Me Up" - Avicii 
4. "Don’t Stop Believin'” - Journey 
5. "Auld Lang Syne" - Red Hot Chili Peppers

Honorable mentions from our FaceBook mates….
- "Happy New Year" - ABBA
- "Tipping Point"
- "New Years Day" - U2
- "Celebration" Kool & the Gang
- "1999" Prince

Where ever you are and and what ever you are doing this New Years Eve, have an amazing time. Stay safe and take some time to remember all the great people and wonderful things you've accomplished this year. Give yourself a pat on the back (and maybe a drink or two!)

Until Next Year…

It's Christmas time. The bells are ringing. The music's playing.
You either love or hate Christmas music, but I gotta tell you…I love it!
Not too early in the year mind you - give it till the 1st December and then I'm ready to sing along with the best of 'em!

So I've been trying to put together a list of my all-time favourite Christmas tunes. It's a tricky thing to do - do you include old time carols or stick to the more funky tunes? Who do you love and who do you cross off straight away? Let's face it, there have been some annoying renditions over the years! 

So without delay, here's my Top 5 Christmas Essential Tunes 2013. Let me know what you think. I'd love to hear yours. 

1. Jingle Bells by Michael Buble - the smooth voice combined with a classic song: you can't go wrong!
   
2. Little Drummer Boy - this is an old-time carol that never loses it's appeal.
3. Who Spiked the Eggnog - this one'll bring a smile to your dial (see clip below)
4. Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer - for its' inherent witty charm!
5. Holy Night - the slow one that gets us all a little teary - admit it.

Have a Merry Christmas Everyone. Stay safe and happy.
