Song for the day: The Loves - December Boy
This video stars @simonloverules.bsky.social's pal Kaufman, who is quite the dreamboat. I absolutely did not have a huge, filthy crush on him. Nosirree, not at all, nuh uh, no way. Nope.

Its neat the way the Japanese authors assume their readers are familiar with the music of Simon Love enough to have expectations of a Christmas song.
That alone is playful enough to make this a delightful 7" single. The song is, as you'd expect from Simon Love, a sparkling Christmas pop song with a 60s girl pop vibe. It's one of my favorites on the Fortuna Pop! label. (Ueda)

It was also thanks to “Spaced” that I heard this piece of fried gold. It became @thisistheloves.bsky.social walk-on music for a few years.
