Musical advent Day 23.
Endured a few sub par covers of this lately, the best song on maybe the best of all Christmas albums, so you can see why people try - but it's really only Darlene's song. Amazing performance here.
An actual Christmas miracle

Holly Jolly. Door 15 an absolute beauty, such a festive fixture their whole life my kids were amazed to find other people didn't know it. They thought it was like Santa Claus Is Comin' To Town or something.
Holly has a great new record out too.

What actor's facial expression in a movie will stay with you the rest of your life?

Don't do it George. I haven't even watched it this year yet, but it came straight to mind. The despair, but really all the stuff on the bridge, the joy when he notices he's bleeding as well. It kills me.

Behind door 10 this absolute charmer from the elusive Capt. Elmo. Not him off Sesame St. There don't seem to be any other releases and no one seems to know anything about him.

I love Hekla's icy, spectral, theremin music, but if I'm honest I somehow failed to give this year's Turnar album enough attention. Happily there's an EP out today to remind me because its quiet magic is well suited to this end of the year
