Merry Christmas

Major cop-out post. It's Christmas. I don't want to mess up the almost-a-full-year-of-a-post-every-day but I don't want to write/edit. So even though I posted Stars doing this song only a few days ago, here's The Pogues with Camille OSullivan (it was originally sung with the late Kristy MacColl) with "Fairytale of New York". Listen to the crowd singing along.

This still probably won't be the last time I post this song.

This Christmas, we recycle, and celebrate an anniversary

Back in '09, I put up a clip of The Pogues and Kristy MacColl's Christmas classic "The Fairytale of New York". Well, that video is gone now, and the song is celebrating it's 25th anniversary this year. That is, if songs actually celebrate. And if songs don't celebrate, then we certainly can.

It's such a great tune, and carries the Christmas spirit so effectively, I had to put it up again this year.

"You're a bum

You're a punk

You're an old slut on junk

Lying there almost dead on a drip in that bed

You scumbag, you maggot

You cheap lousy faggot

Happy Christmas your arse

I pray God it's our last"

Ho! Ho! Ho! Merry Christmas!

Happy Holidays one and all!
