#Advent25 Just one last thing and in honour of a great performer, I have never seen a decent cover of Driving Home For Christmas. This one posted an hour ago actually brought a tear to my eye. www.youtube.com/watch?v=2kKs...
Okay, it's officially the last day of #Advent25, Christmas Eve #Dec24, and so we open the last little door on our advent calendar for this year. It should be Chris Rea I guess but it's not. This advent calendar relies heavily on amateur cover versions, especially recent ones.
I'm off out rustling up some relatives for the Christmas Party and won't be around tomorrow for #Dec23 #Advent25 so I'll post it today. This is my 2nd favourite Christmas song, favourite will be on the 24th. www.youtube.com/watch?v=_CeY...
#Advent25 and on #Dec22 I'd like to share a song by two siblings who first got me into Christmas cover songs many years ago. Can't find their old stuff any more but the new stuff's pretty good too: www.youtube.com/watch?v=oxys...
#Advent25 There's probably at least 100 hours of Jethro Tull Christmas Songs: www.youtube.com/watch?v=6LGh...
#Advent25 This one comes with extras because Jethro Tull are THE Christmas band. www.youtube.com/watch?v=4SwZ...
#Advent25 Now is the solstice of the year, the darkest day #Dec21 it wasn't until recently I learned that Jethro Tull were on Top Of The Pops several times, like wtf? Does a stag stand on a zebra crossing? www.youtube.com/watch?v=RFSc...
I was going to do a sci-fi top 10 but nobody ever watches that shit and I'm always too biased to allow anything but my own favourites so instead as a Saturday special and in conjunction with #Advent25 I'd like to hear what Christmas Songs you actually would admit to liking.
#Advent25 and the day #Dec20 before the solstice I cannot leave this one out: www.youtube.com/watch?v=hG_p...
#Advent25 because of a wonderfully fun night of sci fi #Dec19 got buried and it's an absolute beaut! Give these guys some love, they practised all of 5 minutes: www.youtube.com/watch?v=52QR...
#Advent25 and on this wonderful Friday night #Dec19 I have this monster Christmas song for you. Production and performance through the roof on this one (which is probably why the place is full of flies: www.youtube.com/watch?v=52QR...
#Advent25 #Dec18 This one's a cracker! For two reasons really, firstly the word "soulful" in the title and secondly the dog, who speaks for all of us: www.youtube.com/watch?v=VEd-...
#Advent25 Today on #Dec17 a traditional Christmas song given a thick layer of "cool" by the musical director of The Big Lebowski, T Bone Burnett: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Naoz...
This the real #Advent25 song for #Dec15, I might be a few minutes early but I'm tired and sad: www.youtube.com/watch?v=NcJb...
#Advent25 I unfortunately lost my stepdad this week. A dedicated trombonist, he played with Thijs van Leer. I never had my chance to honour him, until now. It's the shittest video in the world but Jan woz there. www.youtube.com/watch?v=c3Sn...
#Advent25 and it's one for the boys on #Dec14. What a lovely song, fantastic harmonies: www.youtube.com/watch?v=wJAI...
Gaudete in Domino semper! Ich hab' leider keine rosafarbene Kerze am Adventkranz. Nichts desto Trotz einen schönen dritten #Adventsonntag + Gaudete-Sonntag zu wünschen #Gaudete #Advent #Advent25 #Advent2025
Back next week, I'll still have time for the #Advent25 countdown each day I hope @chrismo.bsky.social @mcmgoptimist.bsky.social @snowy.bsky.social
