Can you believe
that I think I'm one of those?

I found myself dancing in the middle of the supermarket on Saturday, when the band started playing Christmas Carols.

And I don't think I feel shame. I love Christmas.

carols are slightly different
still shit, but not as bad as some

Oh well
I dance with "All I want for Christmas is you" Does that make me a bad person?

dancing to it, no
if you were to try and inflict it on everyone you work with for two weeks leading up to christmas, yes

Yes, I understand
I used to work as shop assistant during Christmas when I was a student. 1 month of Christmas songs was a way of torture I don't wish to anyone.

At least here you have proper Christmas songs. In Spain it's all traditional carols, sang by old women posing as kids, with very, very, very high-pitched voices. It drives you mad.

A month? You were lucky.
I used to work in a pub where Santa came to give out presents to the kids on AUGUST bank holiday weekend. AUGUST?! SERIOUSLY?! Apparently they were trying to get bookings for Christmas lunch.

I quit shortly afterwards.

I see Bob Dylan
has released an album of Xmas songs: great, two of my least favourite things combined...

I hope there is a duet with Bowie.
That would make my year.


Edit - I actually thought of you when I chose my calender for next year. Guess what I picked : )

The leather faced CUNT
Let's hope it's his last Christmas and this time next year he's worm food.

how the fuck can you think calling bob dylan a cunt is acceptable.

(PsychoChomp, Mon 14 Dec 2009, 9:34, Reply)

Piece of piss. He's an awful cunt.
He's written a couple of decent songs that other people have made acceptable (thank you Jimi Hendrix and, at a push, The Byrds), but his own records are fucking rubbish.

I'm afraid you're wrong again
you see, your problem is you listen to far too much dreadful musical wanking psychadelia. Blood on the Tracks is a superb album and that's an internet FACT.
(Bazongaloid, Mon 14 Dec 2009, 9:46, Reply)

also The Travelling Wilburys are awesome.

Even the most well thought out and prescient lyrics
turn to shit when they are bleated out by someone who basically can't fucking sing.

and plays harmonica like a tramp with pleurisy...

( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Mon 14 Dec 2009, 9:50, Reply)

I bet you rate X Factor finalists don't you?

(PsychoChomp, Mon 14 Dec 2009, 9:50, Reply)

That's why Blood on the Tracks is so good
the production makes it sound like he really can sing.
(Bazongaloid, Mon 14 Dec 2009, 9:51, Reply)

that must have been an epic piece of turd-polishing

( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Mon 14 Dec 2009, 9:56, Reply)

Right....
...The Dylan Xmas album is shite - that I readily admit but if you are suggesting that the Bob is a cunt then I am afraid I am forced to ask you to meet me on Hampstead Heath at dawn tomorrow.

It is precisely because I know a fair bit about psychedelia
that I feel qualified to state that 'take me on a trip upon your magic swirling ship' is the epitome of 'musical wanking psychadelia' (sic) of which you speak. 'Mr Tambourine Man' is so very, very gay, and along with Scott McKenzie's '(are you going to) San Francisco' succinctly summarises the shit end of the psychedelic/hippie era. Bent as a nine-bob note.

With consumate ease.

(Cancer Joy was short lived, Mon 14 Dec 2009, 9:40, Reply)

Whenever I hear that
God-awful incompetent asthmatic harmonica playing and shitty nasal voice it makes me want to hurt animals.

And the whole generation of smug bearded pseudo-beatnik American fucking students that, you know, Dylan really spoke for, can also fuck right off and take hook-nosed boredom-monger Joan cunting Baez with them.
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Mon 14 Dec 2009, 9:46, Reply)

You are right about Baez.
Face like a Shitzu too
