Hello there. Bored of Christmas TV? Fancy a visual playlist of some of the WAFR big hitters of 2025? Feat. Kraftwerk, Liza, Specials, All Saints, Saint Etienne, Rainbow, Suede, M, Kylie, Banshees and all that? Well fortunately you're in luck as we unveil the WHAT A FUCKING RECORD POP PARTY

I did this! 2006 was quite a good year all told

I’m watching TOTP Christmas 1975. One of the Top 5 albums on my Spotify this year was the Don Estelle & Windsor Davies album due to me playing it literally twice when I was having a moment thinking about my mum and dad and the house and everything happening at that time. Whispering Grass is dope.

Merry Christmas. See you next year. Promise. X

That Gwen Stefani thing sounds like The Waitresses with a head wound.

TOTP Christmas 1977 with ABBA, Space, Manhattan Transfer and Hot Chocolate is the true meaning of Christmas

Merry Christmas me. Thank you to my families for a smashing day (and all this lot. Cor!) X

James Merril’s poem “Christmas Tree,” written while he was dying of AIDS. 1995.

1987. A child’s Christmas in Ipswich. Keen eyed viewers will spot the 12 inch of Always On My Mind.

Okay, I need your help. If everyone buys my book on Kindle today (for 99p), it could push it back to number one on the Music chart and I'd HAVE A CHRISTMAS NUMBER ONE. I would really, really, really like that for Christmas. 99p! www.amazon.co.uk/Story-Christ...

Get it out of the freezer, I mean. Perverts.

Merry Christmas! I made a list and checked it twice - IT’S THE BEST REISSUES, COMPILATIONS AND WHATNOT OF 2025 www.musicomh.com/features/lis...

Hello there. I've started a Patreon (ages ago actually but life got in the way) anyway here's the first post. It celebrates 40 Years of NOW Christmas.

There’s something about December pop deaths: George, Greg, Shane, Kirsty etc that makes it more poignant. Driving Home For Christmas was the one the pair of us would like as it would remind us of literally going home to see our mums. All these things passing by and becoming a thousand memories.

Imagine this Zak Dingle Funko Pop looking cunt as the leader of the free world. Not hard to see why his mam sold him to buy drugs.

The idea that something off The Apprentice - a contestant from the shittiest programme on Earth - willingly accepts a fee to do a show and lined up a string of interviews about it, dances like a paving slab and then claims it’s everyone else’s fault, is the level of moron this planet is at
