Christmas 2009 - let it begin!
Christmas actually does look like this in Edinburgh
It’s been a fairly up and down year away from the blog (let’s just say there are a few people in my life who don’t even deserve coal in their Christmas stockings), but with Christmas fast approaching I’m determined to avoid thinking about them and even try and be a little less bah humbug.
As with the previous two years on the blog, I will be posting lots of Christmas stuff on the blog, as well as my end of year Festive fifty and Top albums (I think I’m just going to do a brief end of decade summary to avoid exhaustion). Another blogger who is also doing Christmas on the blogs is the lovely Tart, over at Love Shack, Baby, so in the very unlikely event that you haven’t been over there to say hello, please go and say hi!
Mrs. 17 Seconds has gone off on a girly weekend with old uni mates, so brother 17 Seconds and I are planning to cause all manner of mayhem, so that I can try and forget how much I am actually really missing her right now. The 17 Seconds Towers cats are already starting to mope (then again, they get abandonment issues if either of us is in the bathroom for five minutes).
So…enjoy the first track, I don’t seem to post many Danish bands here, but hope you like this:
Mew -’She Came Home For Christmas.’ mp3
Fucking hell Ed, not yet.
edinburgh really looks like that at christmas? this is an incentive to go back there soon! i’m also planning lots of festive things on my blog - glad to see that some others are sharing the holiday spirit. and love that mew song. x
Drew - c’mon, man I need something to look forward to!
Christina - it does look like that, would be great if that included snow (providing i didn’t actually have things to do, of course!) Spent yesterday wondering around the German market with brother Seconds, which was great fun
Hey,
Sorry i couldnt see your bro at the stand.
3-10 at HMV
I been looking after my flatmates cat - i feel so sorry for it she under feeds it and leaves it in the dark, so i been treating him this week. Probably a little bit too much.
Cant believe its Christmas then 2010 already!

No worries -Miles’ gigs were good fun, he’ll doubtless be back soon, well before the festival.
Take care of that cat -contrary to popular belief they will eat almost anything, Jake keeps trying to eat my headphones, Tippi keeps trying to drink my tea and it’s worrying how many plants are poisonous to cats.
Hope HMV is fun…

anything is better than “Merry Christmas — war is over” in Somerfield in mid-November. This is a nice track
Glad you like it…often think of them as being the missing link between indie and prog!
Well, you should see Chicago at xmas! It’s a sight! … can’t believe i’m just getting over here to thank you for the linkage… *hangs head in shame
xoxo
No worries - do check out Steve and Jim’s sites, ‘cos they are awesome, and leave me scratching my head in wonder…
