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 guess; in the UK there's been a pretty massive reappraisal this year wherein she's no longer just some mad, kooky 80s singer, but Proper Member Of The Canon. And the release of Aerial was quite the press event, and not just the music press.

Also I am guessing that the vast majority of both Pfork and Stylus lists have zero presence in American culture! And I was 10 when the last Kate album came out.
