So Radio 1 don't like this song any more, they don't like the number one of the top 100 Christmas songs ever? Ah well, I suppose faggots are pretty disgusting anyway, give me a good stew any day!
Other seasonal treats I have discovered recently include the epic funk storytelling that is Bootsy Collins' Christmas is 4 Ever (mentioned in a previous post). It is a strange mixture of the usual psychedelic funk and sleigh bells. You can't help but get into it though, some of it is hilarious!
But it's not all seasonal joy in my jukebox, oh no sir! The freezing mornings are seriously jeopardising my ability to cycle to work, so I need some serious motivation to get going in the mornings. Normally I would listen to Drum and Bass, but it is SO cold I've been turning to Heavy Metal instead.
So this week I've been playing Rise of the Tyrant by Arch Enemy, an album of awesome guitar solos, anthemic melodies, chugging riffs and grandiose faux-classical interludes. It is utterly brilliant, and helps fight the cold.
Have a good Holiday, I don't think I'll be back until next year (with music stories anyway)!
