Ah ChristmasFor those that believe in Christ.And Xmas for those that don't but fancy a day off with pressies and food.Either way, you can't escape the Christmas Song ('CS', from hereon in).Whether you are from Victorian times with Hymns sung at Winter time (Christmas Carols... no matter how you look at 'em, they're Hymns) through to the Sixties and Seventies on to the modern day manipulative dire shite that is Eva Cassidy and Katie Meluah... you just can't avoid the CS.Of course, us lucky Brits can look forward to Leon being Number One - a sad indictment of the British Mainstream Music Scene and a worrying indication as to what 18 year olds are like - I mean... FFS! Words fail me. 18 years old and his musical hero is Michael Buble.No disrespect to MB... but whenever I see / hear him, he's doing cover versions. So Lean is copying a copyist. Not too different to Meluah copying Cassidy who did the world's worst ever version of Somewhere Over The Rainbow.Anyway, where was I?Oh yeah.The CS.Wanna hear a GOOD one for a change?Then click play, sit back, and feel the love.'Tis the season to be jolly - death to mediocrity in 2008.
