On a vaguely related note
I've spent a good hour and a half trying to make a playlist for a christmas party I'm having tomorrow. I'm trying to keep it alternative but still christmassy, any suggestions?

By the way, may I point out that all this has done is make me HATE CUNTING CHRISTMAS MUSIC EVEN MORE.

Gilbert O' Sullivan, 'Christmas Song'.
Simply because it NEVER gets played ever.

It really was a bad idea to do this
I'm so miserable. Over half the songs I have so far are about how shit christmas is. Everyone's going to leave my party and kill themselves.

That'll Be Christmas by Thea Gilmore then.

Seriously
I've actually put "Christmas Card From A Hooker In Minneapolis" by Tom Waits on the playlist.

Although I have just stumbled across an album called "Psychobilly Christmas", which looks a bit more promising and less suicide inducing.

Oooh, did you see that Christmas Folk concert thingy that was on BBC 4 at the weekend**?
She was on there, doing that.


**That's just the crazy hedonistic lifestyle I have, OK?

I did indeed!
I loved it. The Unthanks doing In the Bleak Midwinter FTW.

Did you watch Strictly Clog Dancing?
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Mon 20 Dec 2010, 9:51, Reply)

The Unthanks is a terrible name, but they were good. I actually liked the voice of the one who did more harmonising better than the one who did the main vocal, though.
I was quite unaware of Strictly Come Clog Dancing, I'm afraid.

I'm becoming increasingly attached to music that has a strong sense of place or tradition. I think it's probably the male menopause.

Mine's an old-age thing too
I now want to learn clog dancing.

No problem
The Fall also did a version of Hark the Herald Angels Sing, I think.

Also I personally don't mind the Phil Spector Xmas stuff either.
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Mon 20 Dec 2010, 9:00, Reply)

did he go down for that murder in the end?

( Kitty v1.0 desperately naive, Mon 20 Dec 2010, 9:03, Reply)

I thinks so, yes.

unlucky
I saw a bit of his trial, but only in the form of "look at how increasingly ridiculous his hair gets each day"

He has a better selection of wigs
than Dalston's 'Afro Beauty Superstore'
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Mon 20 Dec 2010, 9:10, Reply)

I love wigs but I would never dare wear one
almost makes me wish I had cancer.
( Kitty v1.0 desperately naive, Mon 20 Dec 2010, 9:12, Reply)

Well, it's Christmas....
Maybe your wish will come true.
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Mon 20 Dec 2010, 9:20, Reply)

I could make that wish come true...

you're going to punch me so hard I get cancer?

( Kitty v1.0 desperately naive, Mon 20 Dec 2010, 9:56, Reply)

You'll thank me when you're rocking a series of hilarious wigs

( Labia Majora You keep on talking but it makes no sense at all, Mon 20 Dec 2010, 10:05, Reply)

The Phil Spector album is good and features some ace drumming, particularly on Frosty The Snowman and The Bells of St Mary

Thanks For Christmas By Three Wise Men (XTC in disguise)is acceptable but not really "party" music.

Blink 182 - I won't be home for Christmas

Aww, I can't find that on Spotify
:(

*coughs*
Torrent their Greatest Hits CD, it's a bonus track *coughs*
( Labia Majora You keep on talking but it makes no sense at all, Mon 20 Dec 2010, 9:07, Reply)

Do you know what's sad?
My laughably small hard drive means I can't torrent anything. Although I did just find this album of the Nightmare Before Christmas music remixed.

Fuck it, that'll do.
(BelladonnaAnodyne Melissa's gonna wet herself, I swear..., Mon 20 Dec 2010, 9:10, Reply)

That is sad :(
You don't even have about 200MB free?
( Labia Majora You keep on talking but it makes no sense at all, Mon 20 Dec 2010, 9:26, Reply)

No
So the little box in the corner keeps telling me. I want a new hard drive for christmas.

ooh have you heard that Xm@$ one by Corey Taylor?
It's quite funny. He says things like 'stuff those jingle bells up your ass'.
( Kitty v1.0 desperately naive, Mon 20 Dec 2010, 9:00, Reply)

It is funny
But it's a shit song though, which is a shame really, as he expresses my sentiments exactly.
(BelladonnaAnodyne Melissa's gonna wet herself, I swear..., Mon 20 Dec 2010, 9:01, Reply)

it is pretty bad but I quite like it

( Kitty v1.0 desperately naive, Mon 20 Dec 2010, 9:01, Reply)

I was about to suggest this
Only heard it the once, kept meaning to give it another listen, but I'm listening to Flogging Molly instead.
( Labia Majora You keep on talking but it makes no sense at all, Mon 20 Dec 2010, 9:01, Reply)

I'm listening to Etta James and trying to write a burlesque routine
saw the film last night, it was fantastic.

Christina looks well fit in the trailers
Kitty 5.0 for sure
( Labia Majora You keep on talking but it makes no sense at all, Mon 20 Dec 2010, 9:03, Reply)

I'm going to the bar early tonight to try and nail a really hard move that I know Kitty 2.0 can't do
Christina doesn't wear a bra in the whole film, they nearly slap out onto the breakfast bar at one point.

( Labia Majora You keep on talking but it makes no sense at all, Mon 20 Dec 2010, 9:05, Reply)

there's some excellent 6 pack action to balance it out though
me and Applebite annoyed the old lady next to us by going 'mmmmmmm' whenever the guy took his shirt off.

you were probably putting her off her stroke

(Zoz prayed for twink on, Mon 20 Dec 2010, 9:15, Reply)

eww
she was like 60! But then again, so is Cher and she was wearing very little for most of the film.
( Kitty v1.0 desperately naive, Mon 20 Dec 2010, 9:16, Reply)

Perverts
Applebite managed to pry herself away from her boyfriend then? Or did he come to and make it a double date?
( Labia Majora You keep on talking but it makes no sense at all, Mon 20 Dec 2010, 9:15, Reply)

he didn't come with
but I dropped her off at his at the end.

There was an amusing moment earlier when she tried to get in the wrong car in the carpark.
( Kitty v1.0 desperately naive, Mon 20 Dec 2010, 9:17, Reply)

Hilarious, I'm sure
Was someone in that other car? Did you catch her discussing rates as she leant in through the window first?
( Labia Majora You keep on talking but it makes no sense at all, Mon 20 Dec 2010, 9:21, Reply)

haha 'silly me, old habits!'
no unfortunately there was no one else in the car. I didn't let her start trying the door in case the alarm went off.
( Kitty v1.0 desperately naive, Mon 20 Dec 2010, 9:24, Reply)

I just found a song called "Santa Gave To You What You Gave To Me"
Which is going on the playlist. Spread the message of safe sex and all that.
