The Poptimists Advent Calendar Day 20

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

I chose today's song on the basis that I'd probably have a thumping hangover and should select something soothing. As it turns out I feel tired but intact as the work do was a bit of a damp squib. But you get the soothing wobs song anyway:


Bob Atcher and the Dinning Sisters - "Christmas Island"

Naming coincidence allows Bob Atcher to indulge in a mildly exotic reverie, from the Ultra Lounge 'Christmas Cocktails' series.



Oh look, it's another smiling cowboy!! Apparently Bob was known as "top hand of the cow-hands" and used to MC something known as the 'National Barn Dance'


In non-Christmas, non-pop news, what odds would you have given on the highest UK album in this years Pitchfork Poll being by ARSE BRUTE??!!

the aerial thread will restore your faith in the place! (until you read other threads.) it is excitable and enthusiastic and wide-eyed in its glee, and it's got lots of tim f and jody and other people saying wonderfully intelligent things.

i'm surprised you haven't heard it! it's seriously incredible. the last. three. tracks.

I think I might be getting it for Christmas, so I've avoided buying or dl'ing it. If I don't get it for Christmas I'll go and buy it at the first opportunity.

ah that's understandable then. only a few days to wait now!

(i didn't expect it to be special at all, i mean the woman hadn't made a great album for 20 years, but but but it is.)
