The Poptimists Advent Calendar Day 20

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 Pitchfork list really isn't worth talking about this much. i mean, no RACHEM no credibility.

The PF singles list is "better" (tho' TWO Arse Brutes place in the mid teens!)

But the yawning gap between what the PF writers consider are "albums acts" and "singles acts" gets wider every year - I've never understood this.
