My favourite thread of the year.
15 years and it's still not boring.
Good work, Blagg son.

Day 1 - Hell of a Holiday - Pistol Annies
|
Now here's the type of Gals you can warm to. Miranda Lambert (Blagg Jnr named a chicken after her), Ashley Monroe, and Angeleena Preseley - NO, she's not! - have been in a festive mood for over a month now.
'It's gonna be a hell of a holiday and it's only just begun
The whole world is decorating and it's only November one'
None of this 'It's all too early' nonsense from these three; so turn this up, stop whining, break open the port, and get up into the loft now!

Day 2 - If We Make It Through December - Phoebe Bridgers
|
Merle Haggard's seasonal tale of unemployment, depression, and loneliness, given an even more poignant edge with Phoebe's plaintive vocal. Thank goodness this type of thing doesn't happen in the UK under this strongly-led Government*
(* Please don't write in. It's just another example of my irrepressible bleak humour)

Day 3 - Sleigh Ride - TLC
|
It's the first Advent Friday night party of 2021 so time for a bit of R'n'B / Hip Hop in the shape of TLC.
Lisa 'Left Eye' Lopez, Tionne 'T-Boz' Watkins and Rozonda 'Chilli' Thomas pretty much rode the '90s zeitgeist, having their first Top Twenty hit in 1991 and their last in '99 and selling some 85 million records along the way.
Now it may not always look to be the case, but I like to throw in some interesting facts into these things so I decided to look up to see how far 'Sleigh Ride' had risen in the charts and I was staggered to find it charted nowhere at all in the whole world.
Considering the popularity of TLC and the fact it featured in 'Home Alone 2: Lost In New York' that is pretty staggering and makes this, rather surprisingly, something of a lost Christmas gem.
