Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Was it the Kinks who did "Father Christmas, Give Us Some Money"?
Yup. It pairs nicely with the Ramones "Merry Christmas (I Don't Want to Fight Tonight)."

Hec, I love the sound of your Trad Xmas mix. Could you send it to me?
Of course! I still have to bundle it up but I'll get it to you in a bit.
Here's my Swingtime Santa Mix:
I think I have this on tape. It makes me feel so old school.
Hec, could you email or Dropbox me the Swingtime mix? Work folks would like some holiday jazz and swing.

Yup, soon as I get them zipped and bundled. The only xmas mix which is currently Ready To Go is the Power Pop Christmas mix. Which is a good antidote when you're getting burned out on the classics.
I had one of Hec's mixes on tap. It was something Traditional. I lost it one of my moves but I loved listening to it.
My aunt emailed me video of E riding one of her horses. Well, he was on the horse with Dad holding him walking beside, Mom leading the horse and my aunt taking the video.
At one point he breaks out into giggles and says "I'm so happy!"
He also had a happy dance he does, which I get to see sometimes on Skype.

In the Pines, I think. Plaintive and melancholy. Yeah, I'm thinking of remaking a few of my tapes in digital format.
I need to buy the new Jill Tracy holiday album.
