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??!!

I think "Formed A Band" is OK but the other stuff I've heard from them has been pretty awful. The Pitchfork blurb seems more interested in using AB as a stick to beat other stuff with than in persuading me to hear them.

"Emily Kane," "Good Weekend," and "Modern Art" are the really good ones if you ask me.

Yeah, two out of those three I heard as part of the Stylus UK jukebox. "Emily Kane" was sort of like a more bearable Helen Love but still didn't do anything for me. "Good Weekend" was terrible. So not for me, basically.

I saw them live at Glasto and liked their look and attitude but got bored quite quickly.
