...and this; Ho ho ho.

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

Postie's been for the last time this side of Christmas, but alas, no CD. I posted mine out on the 10th and the lack of a review suggests that it's either not arrived or was deemed unlistenable. Bah humbug etc etc.

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. http://wiaiwya.bandcamp.com/track/see-that-day...

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...

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.

If everyone joins in, they won't be obscure anymore. This is a good thing. Take the plunge...

Bloody hell, Staly - that was going to be my choice for tomorrow. Luckily I have some good'uns in reserve but as the PC has gone tits up, I have to use the incredibly frustrating tablet posting method. Who would have thought that pasting a link could be so problematic?!

Postie's just been; still no NSCSSCD for me :nono:

Great song by Andy William's former wife who went on to shoot and kill her skier boyfriend.

I love Advance Base; this is my favourite. http://advancebase.bandcamp.com/track/riot-grrrls

Me.

Yeah, I got an email from Bandcamp telling me about this - just been listening to it and it does indeed sound good. The vinyl looks lovely, but expensive. Tsk! Funnily enough I came here to post a Frank Sidebottom Christmas song, but not the one you chose, this one:

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..."

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

Did she pull it for you?

And me please :bigwave:

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...

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...

Lovely stuff - not seen that before, thanks. My Christmas tune today features a whole host of indie legends, but I'm not sure it's particularly poppy. Bloody beautiful though:
