Biggest gripe of Christmas is people pretending to hate the classics and then saying their fave is by The Siberian Orchestra or something

My favourite changes every year. This year it’s Macca. Do love Boney M’s/Shakey/Lennon/Band Aid argh theyre all brilliant

First reply was Mariah, I’ll have you know!

(And that Lennon song is shite but I agree with your general sentiment)

Navel-gazing Xmas songs FTW

His version is great but that song always makes me think of the Frasier episode where his Dad can’t hit the high note

Something new from Low

I’m sucker for most of the overplayed stuff in all honesty but yeah that spoken word bit is pretty special.

I rewatched Monkey Dust not that long ago, it’s still as cutting and dark as I remember it being. I like to think that Chris Morris used the Brummie terrorists as a template for Four Lions.

you’re the only oe in my good books

Trust Macca to have this as the B-side

<3 tbf half the reason I love Simply Having is cause of how naff it is

Awh lovely! Do you keep the boxset with the rest of the decorations?

Yep exactly! The Low album lives in there as well (which is now signed by Alan from Low).

Ah brilliant! Do you listen to them whilst putting up the tree?

How were Low?

We will do! We just got the boxes down so we could listen to the Low album on the way to Norwich. But yeah, we will do. This is my daughter’s favourite:

She does a little mini-play along with it, pretending to be Santa and then pretending to tell Santa off.
