    Day 7 of #Dadvent - because I was out driving up and down the country visiting friends and family all weekend (hence the delay in posting).

    Chris Rea's "Driving Home for Christmas" was a favourite long before it became cool again, thanks to someone who made a cute little flash video on @robmanuel's #b3ta boards back in 2002.

    Day 5 of #Dadvent, belated for reasons that will come in a later post.
    Today was #SpotifyWrapped, and only mildly surprised to see that Litany was my top artist. A new discovery this year, but great fun. So here's her take on the #DieHard debate.

    I've actually been tracking listening trends since 2008 with #Last.fm, before Spotify was even a thing. They have a great #dataviz visualisation that shows artist trends. Here showing cumulative plays.

    Day 2 of #Dadvent, bringing you some fresh (ish) #Xmas #Music to counter the endless dross that saturates the airwaves.
    Here's the legendary Paul Simon, with "Getting already for Christmas Day"

    I am usually Scroogelike at Xmas but this year I'm in a better frame of mind. So here's the first song from my Festive playlist, songs that you don't hear played constantly over the next 5 weeks until you feel sick at the first two bars.

    Kicking off #Dadvent with Khruangbin's cover of the Peanuts song "Christmas Time Is Here"
