Merry Chris-mix 2020
As is traditional I've trawled the internet for a suitably funky Christmas mix and this year's offering's from Lou Dav. Lord knows what 2021 has in store for us all but let's not thing about that for a while eh? Whatever you're doing and wherever you're doing it (getting squiffy at home I'm guessing) have a very messy Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Ana Gasteyer - Sugar and Booze
Heard this for the first time on 6Music last week and it's pretty much the perfect tune for our times...not only locked out of different parts of our own country but now the rest of the world too...it's going well this isn't it eh? What's next, an order banning us from getting out of bed? Hmmmm, I could work with that.

Strangelove - Another Night In
If there was ever a time to re-release Strangelove's Another Night In it's now. I suspect we've all got a few more 'nights in' over the coming months too sadly. Oh well, great tune though!

Captain Yaba - Yaba Funk
On an all too rare (this year at least) visit to the charity shops I picked up a copy of Captain Yaba's Yaba Funk Roots for a mere 50p (purely on the strength of the cover). It's a jazzy, funky gem too! Sadly the good Captain's no longer with us but the whole album's well worth a spin.

System Of A Down goes Bardcore
Ever wanted to hear what System Of A Down's Toxicity would sound like in a medieval style? Yes...me too. This cover's got a bit of a festive vibe to it as well, makes a change from Shakin' Stevens.

Yvonne Baker - You Didn't Say A Word
6 Music's been spinning this track a few times recently (possibly thanks to Mr Craig Charles championing it) and it's an absolute classic, part Northern Soul banger part James Bond theme tune. If you've not heard it yet (and hell, it's only been around since 1966) do your ears a favour and give it a spin. Talcum powder optional.

Katherine Priddy - Still Winter, Still Waiting
Beautiful new festive track from Katherine Priddy with an equally heart/hands/feet warming video.
