I am so fucking sick of 'I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday' that there isn't even an accurate term for it. I like it, and I like the Slade track too, but I'm sick to death of it. It's always been played to death every Christmas, but I used to hear the Slade track far more. Now it seems to be the Wizzard track I hear more.

Also, what's that Elton John one that sounds completely indistinguishable from his usual material, sounds totally non-Christmassy, isn't very good and sounds like it written during a Coke break?

destroy: anybody who sings christmas songs as if they're VERY DRAMATIC modern pop ballads. christmas carols, by and large, neither require nor benefit from extensive melisma.

Destroy: that dreadful Pentatonix cover of "Hallelujah" that my local holiday station has in aggressively high rotation.

that Gregory Porter appearance on Marr earlier is still troubling my thoughts. He always had a touch of "Pebble Mill at One Bill Withers" about him, but his christmas album of Nat King Cole covers is absolute wank.

There's really very little past the 1960's that's not terrible. I think my entire idea of what Christmas should sound like is cemented as either Nat King Cole or the Vince Guaraldi Trio, and everything else is a terrible scourage designed to soundtrack your shopping.
― yesca, Wednesday, 20 December 2017 13:20 (six years ago) link
I find your lack of regard for post-'60s xmas music ver 'scouraging.

yeah that’s a nonsense position
― Choco Blavatsky (seandalai), Wednesday, 20 December 2017 13:29 (six years ago) link
Agreed. Most of the 50s and 60s Christmas music was intended to soundtrack your consumerism, too.

Super Christmas music fan here. Infinity did you catch the new Bloodshot comp this year? https://www.bloodshotrecords.com/album/13-days-xmasI might amend Yesca's point to say that there are very few Christmas albums worth hearing after the 60s. Not really sure why that is, perhaps the labels had more power back then and could order a Phil Spector or Kenny Burrell to make one.

can someone help me
there's this drive-thru light show in town where you tune your radio to a certain station and the lights sync up with the music
I know pretty much all the songs but there's one I don't know, it's like this bombastic Vangelis-style sequencer instrumental. in the last 15 seconds or so some vocals come in on the fade. it's bothering me b/c I should know what this is, but I don't.
