'Christmas' music, an alternative to the usual ****.
Most of the songs that get played this time of year are rubbish, there are a couple of exceptions such as Fairytale of New York by Kirsty Macoll and the Pogues, 'In Dulci Jubilo' by Mike Oldfield is nice as well.
So, for the last 12 or so years I have had an alternative Christmas album, mainly it because its probably my favourite album of alll time and one I dont want to over listen to and spoil for myself, its also quite jangly and has a few quasi religous references (not that I am remotely religous) so it's kind of suitable for Christmas.
I am quite strict about this, if they come on the radio I switch channels, I usually reserve this only for Will Young, Pink and the Crazy frog, but I really dont want to spoil my December listening, I mean lets have it right, December, any bit of it is Christmas-ish, I mean come on, Christmas, like many things in life, the build up, the anticipation is way more pleasurable than the actual event so enjoy the next 23 or so days !
So, what is this album ?
Its been covered quite a lot, its not obscure, you all probably have it somewhere,
It's the Stone Roses first album, imaginatively titled 'The Stone Roses'
Go Listen to it, its Christmassy and you wont hear it in Argos !
