Poptimists Advent Calendar - December 4th - a very BOB Christmas

[jeff-worrell.livejournal.com]

We were going to save this one for a bit, but impatient Mr rechabite posted it in a comments thread yesterday (Watch out Lena: he probably knows in which wardrobe you've stashed his Christmas presents too!). So here is Bob "Bobby" Dylan's brilliant version of 'Must be Santa'.

This sure beats Tommy Steele's version (although I do have a soft spot for that one, kids' chorus notwithstanding). Listen out particularly for the bit where Bob lists the names of Santa's reindeer!

Best Song of 2004: Heat #1

[katstevens.livejournal.com]

I got 294 nominations but Michelle McManus ain't one! Welcome to 2004 everybody - coming up this year we have at least three songs/artists that have inspired lj names of poptimist members, debuts from Kanye, Estelle, TashBed and McFly, plus plenty of mumpop, teenpop, hiphop and blip-bop (that's quite enough of that - Ed).

Without further ado, let's crack open the Brandy and get Bubblin'! (sorry) It's heat #1!
