7 reasons why The Thing (1982) is a Christmas film:

1) snow
2) bearded men concealing surprises
3) compulsory party games
4) introverts shunning group activities
5) digestive issues
6) revellers bursting open to reveal partially assimilated canine lifeforms
7) knitwear

In no particular order, my albums of the year (artists and titles in alt text). It’s been a pretty female pop dominated year for me, both here and more broadly. The simpering indie boys of my youth will just have to DO BETTER.
CMAT - Euro Country Lavinia Blackwall - The Making Haress - Skylarks Richard Dawson - End Of The Middle Pulp - More Lily Allen - West End Girl Cate Le Bon - Michelangelo Dying Jade - THAT’S SHOWBIZ BABY! Thom Hell - Candy Avice Caro - Home Demos Self Esteem - A Complicated Woman caroline - caroline 2

frozenreeds.bandcamp.com/album/psychi...
Black vinyl LP playing on my turntable with the album sleeve propped behind. Cover is orange, a photograph taken by Fell circa 1983 of exhibit 23: cranium, excavated from Dinnington Long Barrow. It shows a close-up of a human skull with the number 23 marked in the centre of the forehead.
