Today I faced a terrible dillemma, on the one hand I could listen to this suprise radiohead annoucement/video/music/whatever on radiohead.com and hopefully it'll be new music, or possibly old music, or christmas music, or any music really. OR I could listen to John Peel where he'd be having the most excellent belle and sebastian doing christmas stuff, which you just know is going to be the most christmassy stuff you'll ever hear (their version of "O come O come emmanuel" is perhaps the most gorgeous christmassy record ever outside of low).
So this dilemma was plaguing me, but luckily for me, Bekah was online for hours, and I didn't realise that Belle and Sebastian where on till Helen said "Oh was this what you were waiting for?" and it was. So I heard them do lots of x-massy stuff, and it's all been good, but no "O come O come emmanuel" yet. 3 songs left I reckon so hopes are still high. Mmm
I did look a bit at that radiohead stuff, but it seems to just be radiohead being random, which while great and wonderful doesn't compare to belle and sebastian singing christmas carols at christmas.
Oh and something should be done to rectify the difficulty in differentiating between me and helen posting sometime tonight.
Update
They played oh come oh come emmanuel and it was brilliant, and they played the 12 days of christmas and whenever some said "a partridge in a pair tree" then someone else yelled out "ah-haa!!" and whats-his-name the singer (stuart?) couldn't stop laughing. Oh and I made it slightly easier to tell us apart by the colour of the titles, may change it somemore though, will ask heleno about it
Oh and I think that I'll tell you all the christmas story sometime seeing as you're all so ignorant :P
