Lovely stuff - not seen that before, thanks.

Will have to wait till I am home to watch. No you tube at work but something to look forward to.

My Christmas tune today features a whole host of indie legends, but I'm not sure it's particularly poppy. Bloody beautiful though:

Well worth the wait but you are going to have to drop some clues as to who is singing/playing. Clearly Scottish?

Edwyn Collins, Jim Reid, Stuart Murdoch and Tracey-Ann Campbell.*







*I have no idea - I don't even have Youtube access...

** My supergroup would be great though.

A great supergroup indeed and definitely the correct nationality. However I would swap Stuart Murdoch with Stephen Pastel and add some Ballboy.

There's a Nurse With Wound connection if I remember correctly.

This is ace, and is my Christmas record for today. Not very Christmassy, one for Hans perhaps:

Wikipedia says... They were formed in 1994 by David Keenan on leaving 18 Wheeler. The original line-up included drummer Neil Grant as well as Sushil K Dade (ex-Soup Dragons, BMX Bandits, later of Future Pilot A.K.A.) on bass and John Hogarty (ex-BMX Bandits, later of National Park on guitar. Grant was replaced on drums by Brendan O'Hare (ex-Teenage Fanclub)

I imagine that HKFC would enjoy that in the same way that I'd enjoy you jabbing your finger in my eye!

Also from the marvellous Ace Bushy Striptease you could have had "All I Wanted for Christmas was Alan Gow"
On the 4xCDs I put together, there's a lyric about our most loathed rivals on the ABS track, but no-one's mentioned it yet...

Future Pilot A.K.A! I have just dug out tiny waves, mighty sea. Not listened to it for years but was a favourite when it was first released.

Whilst Dave Keenan can never quite be forgiven for 18 Wheeler, he did write this very good history of Coil and related bands, for those of us interested in such things:

Loved it. Right up my street.

A new Christmas song. More Hans friendly:

Another new offering. I bloody love Sock Puppets, I do.

I noticed that; I was trying not to let it spoil the song for me. Yellow card offence only.

It might not be a pro-Palace lyric though, and if it is, it's self-deprecating:

"And I know sometimes I play
Like Palace away..."

Today's. Another good'un
