RC 295: Balls To Xmas eclectic mix of Christmas music and mashups - two tiny disco balls with fairy lights

RC 295: Balls To Xmas

Light up your balls, erect your tree, turn on your lights, drink loads and eat like a horse and do that thing where you pretend to be a stripper with the tinsel (I’ve seen you), it’s Xmess!

Xmas (or the holidays or whatever you celebrate, Christmas is just a placeholder here) comes earlier every year so that means the Xmas podcast comes later. (it’s a bus-driver’s excuse and I’m sticking to it like any snow doesn’t).

There is a bumper two-parter this year, with a Christmas bonus in the next one – yeah had two shows and STILL couldn’t get it under two hours *sigh*

As usual a range of pro-Christmas and anti-Christmas songs – more so in the next part for those Xmas sceptics of #TeamHateXmas, and an eclectic Quality Street selection of purple funk and toffee disco, chocolate toffee finger of punk, soundtrack ambient crunch, green triangle indie, caramel electro, honeycomb house, strawberry psych, even some classical coconut eclairs.
