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

    • I wonder where he could be deported to, Hungary the obvious candidate in Europe, perhaps he would get on well with Modi?   Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch and Reform UK leader Nigel Farage both said Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood should look at whether Abd El Fattah's citizenship could be revoked to enable his swift removal from the UK. Farage said in a letter to Mahmood: "It should go without saying that anyone who possesses racist and anti-British views such as those of [Mr Abd El Fattah] should not be allowed into the UK." So just racists views are ok Nige?
    • Always preferred Grace and Favour to the BMC, commented in the past on this and sadly long since gone   
    • If it's the same one I'm thinking of, it was a little further down the road towards LL, probably where the Fresh Flower Company is today. I'd forgotten all about it, with good reason. I think it disappeared before Blue Mountain opened and became a pizza place? I once bought a carton of milk from the deli and when I opened it, it was solid. I did get my money back though.
    • But when was it posted?! I haven't posted any this year. I can't bring myself to pay the exorbitant cost of the stamps, and at least I can sort of honestly blame it on illness. If I can't hand deliver them, I send e-cards. I know it's not the same, but it's very much easier. And as for the people who still send pages of closely handwritten letters .... very admirable in terms of the hours it must have taken them to write them,  but they remind me of those spoofs eg x has just passed all their many important exams with the highest marks possible, y has just walked round the world in a week, z has just become the first person ever to be knighted twice, we are about to fly off for our fifteenth exotic holiday this year ....... Or else (or sometimes and) they are full of who has had what illnesses and accidents and other catastrophes. Is this just my relatives and distant friends? Am I somehow attracting these reams of handwritten paper?
