Xmas 2010: Christmas Is Cancelled

I'm thoroughly delighted to announce that - due to the almost otherwise entirely unwelcome predations of two weeks off work with Real Flu - I have had time to compile an Xmas collection this year. Thirty tracks of festive fun and frightfulness, from the modern noise stylings of Jesu and Wooden Shjips to all manner of cheesy ghastliness from yesteryear.

It comes in two .Zip archives, stuffed full of MP3s for you and yours to enjoy, or just burn on a fire.

Part One | Part Two
