Have to say that I don't like The Vandals - I think at the time we played with them they had started doing loads of country & western shÃÂte?

You mean... I like The Vandals to be fair although I am not keen the on their latest album they also have Josh Freese in the band who in my book is one of the best and busiest drummers around!!

Yes, it's brilliant Have to say that I don't like The Vandals - I think at the time we played with them they had started doing loads of country & western shÃÂte? I think they started along the lines of that but around the time the Christmas album was released in 1996 they have made some great amusing punk music.

Thracian Posted 15 November 2005 Share Posted 15 November 2005 I Believe In Father Christmas When a Child Is Born Almost any Christmas song sung in Leicester Cathedral where the acoustics and atmosphere are wonderful. And, conducted by the (presumably late and legendary) choirmaster George Gray they would have a little extra besides. Happy days indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thracian Posted 15 November 2005 Share Posted 15 November 2005 Mention of Christmas songs reminds me of wonderful days spent as a chorister in the Leicester Cathedral choir and, in particular, singing carols in the town hall square. This tradition was always followed by a mayoral banquet after which we would make our way back to the song school via a cobbled path by the side of the Cathedral. Anyone who has been down there will know that the always eerie cobbled path is bordered by a hedge on the Cathedral side and behind the foliage are rows of gravestones. On this particular dead of night we were walking back, suitably attired in our dark red cassocks and contrasting white surplices and I could here someone walking behind us on the cobblestones. In a flash I persuaded my mates to nip through the hedge and hide behind the gravestones. As the guy walked past - and remember it was well past midnight, we appeared from behind the stones in our white surplices, arms raised outwards, like ghosts and issueing suitable ghostly sounds. It was just like watching a cartoon character. The guy leapt screaming into the air, landed back on the ground and the split-second his feet touched the ground he took off as fast as his feet would carry him and still yelling for help at the top of his voice!. The choirmaster was not amused when he found out... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nationwider Posted 15 November 2005 Share Posted 15 November 2005 I can recommend the XFM compliation It's A Cool Cool Christmas on Jeepster Records. Unfortunately, it's been deleted, but worth trying to hunt down if you want an alternative to the usual serving of Crimbo music... Belle & Sebastian, Low and Departure Lounge are my faves. As for the radio-friendly stuff, "Christmas Rapping" by the Waitresses(?) is my fave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
