Sod off 2009!
As we stand by the door, waving off 2009 like the annoying pervy old relative who outstayed their welcome at Christmas, I can’t let it pass without pulling the last remaining bit of dried chicken off the carcass and chewing it one last time in the name of an end of year round up.

The not at all snappily named Hercules DJ Control MP3 e2 is the diddiest controller I’ve played with, and at £99 is also one of the cheapest too.
