I don't really celebrate Christmas, but I do love Christmas songs. My all-time favorite is 1984's "Do They Know It's Christmas" from Band-Aid. I remember taping it off the radio. I tried over and over, waited hours and hours, until I was able to record it right from the beginning. It was a matter of timing. Pressing Play/Record/Pause in advance, then releasing Pause at the precise moment when I heard the drums.Bob Geldof remade the song last year with a different crew of pop stars (mostly). I haven't heard the new version, but I figure I couldn't like it better than the original. Paul Young to Boy George to George Michael to Simon LeBon-- what could be better?

Oh, come on you Grinch. You love Christmas too!
Just because I don't celebrate it doesn't mean I don't like it. I'm no grinch!
Okay, the Christmas Spirit moves me to retract that statement. Happy Merry!
Funny you should mention Bananarama. I was not so attuned to have noticed that they were stoned. I just remember them in the chorus, swaying with everyone else... I found this pretty amusing...
Looking forward to seeing you guys.
More posts, please! I need my ChanChow fix! This is your fault -- you've made us into addicts!
