Frightened Rabbit, anyone?
It is St. Andrew’s Day today - the day of Scotland’s Patron Saint, so I thought I’d post a track by a very fine Scottish band.
Or rather, I’d post two ever so slightly different versions of Frightened Rabbit’s ‘It’s Christmas So We’ll Stop.’
This has come out in both 2007 and 2008, so take your pick and see what you think…
Frightened Rabbit -’It’s Christmas So We’ll Stop [2007 version].’ mp3
Frightened Rabbit -’It’s Christmas So We’ll Stop [2008 version].’ mp3.

Meanwhile, they released a fantastic new single two weeks ago, entitled ‘Swim Until You Can’t See Land.’ This is taken from their forthcoming third album, due out in 2010:
Check out the video here:
the new album is entitled The Winter Of Mixed Drinks and is released on fatcat on March 1.

heard them on Radio Scotland last week (?Vic Galloway) and was rather impressed.
Sounds likely, hopefully 2010 will be their big year…
I like this song (in whatever version) a lot, but I like you even more. Thanks Eduardo. The party’s just started over at TK.
please god, do not let them turn into something akin to Snow Patrol……
Indeed…course, if they sold as many records as snow patrol without losing what made them interesting that would be great…
