On Portishead - bloody hell they were on my xmas cd too with a snippet from a new song from a supposed LP to come, and that was almost a year ago.

But it's looking good:

My god I never knew they'd made a video to that song. Is it too late to include it on the CD?

Dead can Dance - The wind that shakes the barley (sad Irish song to make you weep)

Requiem DUB - Give thanks

Nina Simone - I think it's going to rain today

Sylv and Kieran,

Are you trying to make sure we all have as S*** a christmas as possible.
Your track choices are a little bit down beat to say the least.
I wanna hear something with abit of live in it.
God knows Xmas is hard enough without having to listen to some depressed songwriter moan about how sh1t his life is.

My recommendation is you listen to some conscious lyrics from the reggae side of town. Upbeat tunes and mood guaranteed.

Or if your a bit of a rebel at heart, check out THE CRAMPS.

Their not afraid of dressing up, like us cyclists, and their tunes have a bit more life in them than a cold wet Tuesday in December.

While I'm on a roll, how about this to give your XMas party a bit of a lift.

You just never know - maybe all the other tracks on there are along the lines of "My love is like a tyre-iron" by Ted Nugent from 1982's "Intensities in ten cities" album.

See, you wish you hadn't said anything now don't you :-)

They have a brilliant back catalogue of songs dont they Adrian.

The titles of the songs are just so inventive and to be in a band with girls in it seems to do funny things to your dress sense.
