Christmas posts part 20

Strange but true…I put Christmas into google image and this is what came up first

Did get as far as going into work today, feeling worse and got sent home. Not helped by the black ice I slipped on outside work.

Anyway, you’re probably not here for my health or my reports on the weather but tunes or CHOONS! as I believe young people (younger than my 34 years) refer to them.

First up, 6 Day Riot have released a special free recording of the Pretenders’ 2000 Miles. Not that the Pretenders’ original was particularly overblown, but this is very nicely stripped down, IMHO:

6 Day Riot -‘2000 Miles.’ mp3

Meanwhile, ever felt that ‘All I Want For christmas’ just wasn’t sinister enough?’ Or that ‘Frosty the Snowman’ or ‘O Holy Night’ needed a radical overhaul? (And I mean that as a compliment).

Wonder no more. Check out Banjo or Freakout’s Christmas album, XA 2010:
