Dammit, I’m shattered.
And trying to put together the end of year lists is proving more and more difficult.
Tonight: a Ramones Festive classic, with a Joey Ramone solo version -and an Asobi Seksu cover.
Enjoy!
Ramones -‘Merry Christmas (I Don’t Want To Fight Tonight).’ mp3
Joey Ramone -‘Merry Christmas.’ mp3
Asobi Seksu -‘Merry Christmas (I Don’t Want To Fight Tonight).’ mp3
…it may come true.
Way too much snow today when we woke up. So much for the BBC’s weather website. (I suppose I am guilty of seeing both the Beeb and the Guardian as being close to objective truth).
If you are on a quest for more Christmas-related music, check here and here on the NME blog.
I’m having difficulties accessing mediafire to post for Christmas tracks, so enjoy some videos for today:
There’s obviously more Christmas stuff out this year than I had realised, though the UK singles chart is full of old product. Anyway, Japanese-New York band Asobi Seksu have just issued a cover of the Ramones’ Merry Christmas (I Don’t Want To Fight Tonight), so I thought I would post that, along with the Ramones’ original, and aanother version done by Joey Ramone later on.

Enjoy folks. And don’t forget to drop by tomorrow for more…

There is no theme here, just a selection of ten cover versions, only one of which (Sisters) I think I have posted here before. All being well, there should be another ten covers here on Sunday.
As always, these will be up for a week. If you like what you here, please go and investigate the bands and original artists themselves, perferably at your local indpendent record shop.
