The Poptimists Advent Calendar Day 21

Band Aid - Do They Kno It's Christmas (Extended Mix)

Obviously this is a classic anyway and you can relive its classicism via this 12" - the clanging chimes, tonight Thank God etc. BUT ALSO you get bizarre string stabs courtesy surely of Lord [livejournal.com profile] sukrat and you get an assortment of pop stars wishing you a merry Wobs. Sadly this recording exposes the tale of a member of Spandau Ballet saying "Merry Christmas to all our fans in Africa" as an urban mythXoR but it's well worth hearing anyway, especially for D Bowie and the guy from Big Country and Sir Bob and and...well, everybody, really.

Oh. My. Effin. God.

Just got to this. Astonishing is not strong enough a word.

BTW I just made a CD-R of "the best of" the suk/timist Advent calendars plus a few other Xmas mp3s that were flying around on the ILM thread. Some of the tracks I've not even heard yet, just liked the sound of and grabbed while I could. Looking forward to playing it on the train to the Cotswolds tomorrow. Cheers to Tom and mark for everything they've been sharing.
