I'm loving this punky Cyndi Lauper / Hives Christmas duet. Really festive. Gets you in the mood for a bit of turkey.

Hives

I bought no gifts this year

And I slept with your sister

I know I should have thought twice before I kissed her

But with the year we had last

And the dress that she wore

I just went along for the ride

And I came back for more

And I?m sorry, baby


Cyndi

(That?s all okay honey cause see)

I bought no tree this year

And I slept with your brother

I wrecked your Daddy?s car

And went down on your Mother

I set your record collection on fire

And said I never knew

Felt kind of bad about that

And I know you did too

So whatever you say, it?s all fine by me

Who the f@#k anyway wants a Christmas tree


Duet : Cyndi Lauper and The Hives

Cause the snow keeps on fallin

Even though we were bad

It?ll cover the filth, we should both just be glad

And spend this Christmas together


The Hives

I married you last year

Bet you thought I was sober, right?

But I was drunk as a skunk and I made a mistake

This could all have been over


Cyndi

Ah honey please don?t excuse your behaviour

Cause I hired a hitman and changed your will

It?s now all in my favour

So whatever you say, it?s all fine by me

Who the f@#k anyway wants a Christmas tree

Cause the snow keeps on fallin

Even though we were bad

It?ll cover the filth, we should both just be glad


And spend-spend-spend this Christ-Christmas together

Mmm good choice Piers. Which reminds me, Luke Haines has a new hilariously bitchy auto-biography out at the moment. Here he is with the Auteurs, another band overshadowed by some less talented peers:


The Auteurs - Lenny Valentino

great video Sean. Weirdly shades of Money for Nothing in it (the video no the song) though obviously made on something better than Acorn Archimedes!!


Ooh the Auteurs, one of those bands I'd meant to investigate more thoroughly, now my chance.

I loved that Valentino single back in the day. I loved Haine's later band as well - Black Box Recorder




Plus he has just released a book which looks veeery entertaining

    • Moving into a new place and need both a wardrobe and a chest of drawers, ideally collection Friday. Thanks!
    • Lordship Lane has two dry cleaners, three pizza places and an Italian selling pizza, two burger places, three bakeries, two hardware (ish, I'm thinking AJ Farmer here), God knows how many coffee and charity shops, two Italians, three nail salons, five wine shops... Where was the abject outrage when Dynamic Vines opened up literally next door to Cave de Bruno? But I don't see his customers decamped next door - no, those stalwarts are still out in force every night.  In Roman times all businesses were clustered by product. It's what kept prices down. Same in any market you go to abroad, they're all selling the same things next to each other.  Why is everyone being so hard on this new place? It's called healthy competition - you can't curtail the expansion of your business on the basis you that might hurt someone else's. 
    • I have a new fixation so any available, please let me know.  Thanks.
    • In restaurant terms I would say a chain manifests when the motivation is no longer “we are a couple/small group who have an idea and love food” who open a restaurant, them another and then a few more BUT THEN PIVOT to “we need capital to rollout out new restaurants so we have leveraged the help of the following investors”  that is the moment it stops being about the chef/food on the plate and becomes about the spreadsheet  so it is POSSIBLE  for a restaurant to have 50 branches and not be a chain - but I can’t think of any  I don’t know chango - by based on the number of outlets they appear to have just crossed/or are about to cross that line
