So. *This* is Christmas.

Prompted by listening to the abomination that is Kylie Minogue's new Xmas song, here are some festive tunes I actually do enjoy. Enjoy, or not, as to your taste.

Shchedryck / Carol of the Bells (a Ukrainian spring folk song that became a Christmas carol)

Low ~ Christmas
First play of the LP that I got in a Reflex Records sale back in the summer. I've had the CD since its first release but nice to have it on vinyl

Just Like Christmas - Low in London- Christmas 1999

I love Low, in the 90s I loved them more than most bands. We drifted apart - it was definitely me, not them, they kept on developing and I wanted them to be the same …

Just found that the best Low show I was ever at - (Dingwall's in 1999) has a really good recording on the Internet Archive - and it's packed with Christmas goodies.

CW: Death

Mimi Parker of Low has died aged just 55 from ovarian cancer.

Maybe we should get Just Like Christmas to the top of the charts this Xmas?
