Music: What are you listening to today?
In the spirit of the books and movies threads, here's one to talk about what you're listening to lately and what you hav
heard this on the radio a few weeks back and first thought was -ev would love this but then forgot to post
I love how you're like an improved version of the youtube algorithm for me 😃
Christmas is here - or at least December is.
Either way, that means Christmas songs - and as we know the problem with Christmas songs is that most of them are boring and we're all sick of hearing them endlessly every December.
Luckily for ya'll you've got me and I shall endevour to supply you with at least one good Christmas song daily from now until Christmas.
And no worries, all songs will be safe for those who observe Whamageddon (and that includes covers).
Still a ways to go until Christmas so it seems appropriate to start with a wish that we all even make it there. Stay strong and we will. Together.

I'm tempted to say that you've mixed one too many metaphors, but that's not really true, is it?
Bee Gees didn't believe in doing Christmas songs, so this one that at least mentions Christmas trees is probably as close as we'll get.
Luckily, Sarah Brightman believes in Christmas songs and does it quite Christmassy.

I love the Christmas classics! The Ronettes versions of "Sleigh Ride" and "Frosty the Snowman" are my all-time faves. Ronnie is so bubbly. You can tell how much she loves performing.

more likely conflating memories of holiday shows from my youth
although notice the first notes of the Linus and Lucy song are vitamin C and A flat
Most people don't realize how sad this song is. I do. Sent from my Pixel 7a using Tapatalk
Yet optimistic, right?
This takes a while to get going, but it's worth the wait (or just forward to 1:45).

I don't know why this exists and I I'm not sure it should - but since it does and I have been subjected to it, I feel like I shouldn't be the only one.
I have wonderful memories of Christmas! A pox on all you gloomy misanthropes. You’re unhappy so you want everyone else to be unhappy also. Very childish behavior.

You know the Troggs song, don't you?

I do (though I didn't know of that one before Wet Wet Wet covered it, but that's also quite a while ago).
I know the song - and I appreciate the Robert Palmer-inspired video - I'm still not sure this particular version should be a thing.
Seeing "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" reminded me of this guy's analysis of Judy's amazing voice and why pitch correction and auto-tune are the worst.
Early career Elton John, kinda like thru Yellow Brick Road, was cool beans.
