Christmas Choons..

It's December the 1st, which means there are only 24 more days 'til Christmas dinner..
I for one can't wait to eat my body weight in mince pies and generally act like a drunken dickhead in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Here's my absolutely untouchable top ten six Christmas tunes (really had to scrape the barrel with this awful list):

1. The Pogues And Kirsty MacColl - Fairytale Of New York



Not just the best Christmas tune but one of the best songs of all time.
"I could've been someone..." Brixton Academy on the 19th will be emotional.


2. Tom Waits - Christmas Card From A Hooker In Minneapolis



I would sell my family to the Bosnian mafia to see this live.


3. Fear - Fuck Christmas



Just to get you in the festive spirit.


4. Murder City Devils - 364 Days



"An open letter to St Nicholas.."


5. Blink-182 - I Won't Be Home For Christmas



You're lying if you say this doesn't warm the soul of your inner 14-year old self.


6. The Walkmen - No Christmas While I'm Talking



Not the best Walkmen tune but..

BET Cipher.

Eminem absolutely killed the BET cipher this year. He was recently quoted in an interview as saying that Relapse 2 is going to be more like his old style - Please, please, please, please don't fuck it up with your shitty helium/Asian cab driver voice you ugly, white trash weirdo.

Mos Def's bars ain't too shabby either..

House Of Flying Daggers

I'm speechless.

Efectos Vocales..

Nach Scratch is a fucking beast..

Two Shots From A Loaded Clip.

Rowdy shit. Listen to those fucking cuts.

Haymaker Bringing The Ruckus.

Fireworks, destruction and disgruntled police. Punk as fuck.

HIP HOP UPDATE.

So what's fucking with Blackout 2?



The new "Wu-Tang" album is a shambolic half-arsed Rza wankfest that makes 8 Diagrams look like the Purple Tape. No Method Man? No GZA? Get the fuck out.

Talking of tapes that are purple, DJ Decko and Lazy K have knocked out a pretty dope Raekwon mix as of recent. I guess it will do while we pretend that his album's actually gonna come out (It's just been pushed back.. Again).

Will everyone stop going on about Relapse? Eminem hasn't been good for nearly 10 years now and nothing's going to change that. I'm not gonna front like his flow hasn't marginally improved but when you're pushing 40 and purposefully making your voice sound like a prepubescent on helium, maybe you should stick to making beats for weed carriers like Trick Trick and Ca$his.

Novel's got a catchy new tune with Joell and Papoose and it's a banger for sure. Ortiz does his usual thing and Pap sounds like he's back to his old style somewhat, though he could've switched up the flow a bit (reminds me of new school Kool G Rap or something). Novel throws in a bit of R&B cheese and I ain't complaining..
