Christmas Advent #23 – All I Want For Christmas...

...is you via Salt Lake City’s finest Punks, Baby Ghosts.

... is a Dukla Prague away kit via the Wirral's finest, Half Man Half Biscuit.

That should be enough to see you through the slow hours of Christmas Eve Eve.

Christmas Advent #22 – Christmas Teardrops ‘Neath Mistletoe

Christmas Advent #21 – That Christmassy Feeling

Jam jars filled with Crumpton Oaks put pay to the 19^th and 20^th but here’s the Johnny Cash & Family Christmas Show from 1977 and an added peach from the 1976 show to make up for it.

 

Christmas Advent #18 – Red Santa

Behind door 18 a Pop nugget is going off like the Christmas disco of your dreams. Like a dry cider in the hands of Jack the Rat, Sweden’s brilliant Lucky Lucky Pigeons didn’t hang around for long. Just long enough though to leave an everlasting disco ball spinning in your heart with gems like Keep on Kingie and Red Santa going off like Marceline and the Scream Queens rocking up to the open mic night for a party, armed with keyboards they found in their local charity shop.

Christmas Advent #17 – Countdown To Christmas

Christmas is only a week away. So here's the epic Glam Chops, featuring Eddie Argos and the boys getting their Glam out for Christmas like Wizard spinning upside down on a barrel of Crumpton Oaks in the corner of the best discotheque ever.

Christmas Advent #16 – The Generation That Nobody Remembered

Bursting from the door today is 10 years of pissing on Zane Lowe’s smirking face and the whole of 6 Music's “indie” back catalogue via The Indelicates.

As our pal Eddie Argos said “…the Indelicates have been my favourite new band in every end of year poll I’ve been asked to complete in the last four years, but that is not enough. They are going to become the answer to every question put to me…”

The Indelicates are back and armed with another cluster of nuggets that kick up shimmering shit-storms in 'Elevator Music'

Christmas Advent #15 – Days In Between

Today’s treat is a storming set from The Stammer. It shoots across Philadelphia like Kerouac and Moriarty picking up the lost souls, broken dreams, faded friendships, aching hearts, small pockets of hope, and the burnouts and the left-behinds. Lines sparkle and shoot from guitars and explode in your mind like tiny fireworks letting you take from it what you need.
