LIST 120 - 25/12/13 (a Christmas selection)

Hello again,

Not the first festive selection to have appeared on these pages (q.v. Lists 55, 56 and 83), but the first for a couple of years after proving too slow off the mark last year.  Tsk.

Delighted to be able to include some new-for-2013 offerings from Town Bike (now on hiatus for 18 months or due to studying commitments), indiepop supergroup/agglomeration thingy Geoffrey And The Livingstones, and the first man of pub rock Nick Lowe (middle name really is Drain, apparently).  

Never a hardship to include anything from the Lovely Eggs, either, especially anything as joyously deranged as Tyrannosaurus Rex for Christmas.  Altogether now - "No Gigantosaurus on Biscuits For Cheese...", etc.
