Various Artists – Merry Luxmas
It’s Christmas In Crampsville! Once again The Cramps have scoured their vinyl basement to unearth, in this case, pleasingly alternative Christmas songs. How can you argue with a song (from the splendidly named Gayla Peevey) called ‘I Want A Hippopotamus For Christmas’. Rock ‘n’ roll! Put simply, this is a great Christmas compilation; even people…

Run-DMC – “Christmas In Hollis” (12” Picture Disc Single)
I must confess that I have never been a fan of Christmas carols and Christmas songs. While I understand the idea of having a song in one’s heart around the holiday season, I’ve always thought that the idea of professional musicians recording albums of the same standards with their own small creative stamp on them…

Apparently, Kyuss Lives! is doing a second show in Toronto this year–on New Year’s Eve, no less–at tiny Queen & Bathurst bar Cherry Cola’s. Aye, but here’s the rub.…

No presents for Christmas…but we wish only the best of health for King Diamond
Bah, humbug! Christmas has come and gone, and hopefully next year King Diamond’s wish will come true. No presents for Christmas… It’s been a month since his open heart surgery, according to his wife Livia’s posting at the official King Diamond website (covenworldwide.org), and thankfully his recovery is coming along well. Listen to the King…

Jesu – Christmas EP
Ever the innovator, Justin Broadrick can now add ‘Christmas album’ to his respectable canon, as he leaves us slavering for the next Jesu full-length. I’d say it’s a safe bet you won’t stumble across another Christmas-themed album as original or inspiring this year – and not one god-damned sleigh bell to be heard!
