This doesn't really belong on this thread, but it's great and no-one complained when I played it at Big Pink Cake last weekend.

Over reaching yourself here Gordon:

Oh wow! I'm not sure what to make of these either. Are they deadly serious and earnest covers, or all a bit tongue in cheek?
So bad they're good, or released in search of critical acclaim?
Good find, Staly and well worth checking out if you've not already done so, pop kids.

Oh yeah, incidentally I was 20 for the first 10 / 12ths of 1986, but got married when I was 21 I've got a 22 year old son and 17 year old daughter who live just outside Brighton with their mum, and a 15 month son now. He's beautiful and endlessly entertaining, but currently teething and has a cold. I am a stranger to sleep.

I've a horrible feeling he's serious. Check out the cover of Rubber Ball as well. Truly awful.

Anyway, today's Christmas song from me. It'll be the last as we're off to Shropshire for Christmas, and obviously there's no internet there. Not indiepop, but I make no apologies as it's the best Christmas song bar none.

I really enjoyed that and perfect for Christmas Eve. Whoever made the video though needs some guidance. All sorts going on there!

Crap, isn't it.

The Ronettes is a great choice, Staly, but for something quieter with a wonderful warm, late-night feel, then this too is just perfect for easing on to the sofa with a glass of something festive when all the work has been done.

Despite not sounding out of place on Radio 2, it's become something of a favourite in our house and sounds even better when there's snow on the ground.

Our power is back on! Just about to abandon Xmas amid desolate scenes of defrosted freezers and dripping fridges, with no internet connection, but we are back in business. Hooray.

Praise The Lord!

Praise The Lord!

Yes indeed. Very swiftly hoovered the whole house. We have ten family members staying. Pavlova is in the oven. Substance (New Order) is playing. Now awaiting guests who, obviously, have been delayed. Starting to feel a tiny bit tired already....

I spent the morning picking up the remnants of what used to be our garden fence, and the afternoon planing down a swollen garage door. Festive cheer aplenty.

Happy Christmas everyone.

Nice one HK! Happy Xmas to all! Guests are due in 30 mins. Just about to crack open the Sussex sparkling wine. Hope you all have a splendid festive season. I'm sure I'll sneak back onto NSC tomorrow when I get a moment though!

 

[Flex Your Head]

Merry christmas everyone, looking forward to getting back to normal service soon, but before then, a large brandy, the Hexicon song above, this...

 

[Flex Your Head]

...and this;



Ho ho ho.

 

[Flex Your Head]

One final christmas song, and it's one we've had before. A Christmas moose for you all;

Going to be first in the queue when this comes out.
At 1m44s in there is an interview with what could be 14 iced bears? The girl on the far left and the guy speaking look remarkably like a couple who sit near me in WSU. Uncanny!!!!
