It's nigh on impossible to watch the telly today without having some C list celeb push frozen prawns into the lens and shout "ONLY £1 THIS CHRISTMAS!". So it's with these annoying yet unavoidable symptoms that I've come to realise that the festivites are upon us, more or less. That, and we've spent the best part of a month recording Christmas classics!.
In previous years we kind of knew which song to tackle, but with the two best ones already notches on our bedpost, we've struggled to find a classic we can make our own. Even after we mixed down the final version of the song we chose, it didn't seem to have the magic of the previous efforts. After a long thought out process (lasting a fairly heavy 1 minute 4 seconds at least) we added the tried and tested Barricades Rise method: Add more stuff till it sounds better, and low and behold, it worked! Not only that, but the back up tune also sounded a Majestic success. Add to these two the previous years Christmas offerings and we have an EP of yuletide joy. An extra tune or two of our own has made the cut too.

In other news, our last gig will be tomorrow at the Crumblin Cookie in Leicester supporting Ben Marlow. We'll not be on the road after that until next June too. See our last blog regarding our plans for 2012.
My next blog will be a biggie, wait for it on Sunday or Monday.
