YES. It is Christmas Eve. There is no excuse to leave out the jingle bell. Some songs for your auditory glee.
SLOW CLUB: Christmas Baby Please Come Home
This is my favourite version of a Christmas song. I know every note!
LOW: JUST LIKE CHRISTMAS
I downloaded an alternative Christmas playlist this year, turned out this was the only song I like!
THE RAVEONETTES: THE CHRISTMAS SONG
LOUIS ARMSTRONG: ZAT YOU, SANTA CLAUS
This makes me want to be in a jazz bar, drinking whisky.
Hello there! Meant to post this yesterday – Melt Yourself Down + Moon Hooch = happy day. Let’s go dancing.

I’ll warn you straight up this is a majorly self indulgent blog post. I really want a record player. GASP. I don’t have one already? No, I’ve been strongly aligned to the humble CD for the past decade, I like that they are more stackable (there I said it) and I don’t have to stand up to flip sides. I know the sounds better on vinyl yada yada, the real reason I’m changing now is there are some many less collectable releases on CD, and no download codes when you purchase. Itunes is no longer my friend, following a change in it’s privacy terms it won’t recognise new items. Typing it in song by song would make my soul cry. So music lovers that’s it, now I really want a record player and ideally your help in choosing one. Old or new? What to look for? Does it matter? In return here are the first three things I’d like to buy on vinyl…
Rodriguez ‘Cold Fact’
I cried watching documentary Searching for Sugarman on the plane to Thailand. I love that someone could be so humble in the face of so much new found fame. This song in particular makes me really happy.
Devendra Banhart ‘Mala’
I like this latest release from Devendra Banhart a lot. That’s all.
Willis Earl Beal ‘Wavering Lines’
Beaaaaaautiful.
PS – if there are adverts below they are nothing to do with me, it’s a new WordPress thing I believe meaning you have to pay to keep things ad free.
Somehow I had never heard this song until I heard it covered at a gig yesterday. Insanely good.
The type of song you need at the end of a Monday!
