♫ All Sounds Christmas ♫
A bunch of festive tunes to add to your playlist this season. I've also added links to their lyrics coz getting the lyrics wrong can be a bit embarrassing. More so if you've been corrected by an 8yr old.
Vodka Christmas Cake
No Games On This Throne, Please.
Where have all the (good) manners gone?
Alex Boyé ♪ Africanized

India's Political Affairs Are Sliding To The Right
No one's to blame; it's because of our planet's axial tilt.
Spirituality Elbowed Out of Relevance by Religion
“The power of human thought grows exponentially with the number of minds that share that thought.”
-- Dan Brown, The Lost Symbol
Our Demons Could Deserve a Furnace-Like Roar
It's amazing how one's life, however bruised and tattered, can be sewn together by the acts of sheer courage and simple kindness -- towards others, (and more importantly) towards oneself -- which ultimately designs the majesty of one's poignant life, regardless of how tumultuous or obscure; coz the silent storms and screeching obscurities are what stain the threads we're woven of. They make us us.
Hugh Mackay on HAPPINESS
The other day, I read this passage on Pinterest (where else?), and it is stuck in my mind.
Josef Salvat's ♪ Hustler
Scouting for cover versions of recent pop hits, I stumbled upon this male-Lana Del Rey version of one of Rihanna's best known songs "Diamond". Thirty seconds into the track I knew this Salvat guy deserved my attention. Come hear why:
Girls Chase Boys Chase Girls
What would the music video industry be if it weren't for women in slinky bandage dresses flaunting dangerous curves on-screen? On the brink of poverty may be. May be not. We'll never know.
Bogota By Bus and Spanish By Strings
Even though most of us don’t get the opportunity to dine in the cafés of Madrid or dance in the clubs of Havana, it is possible to experience a sense of that cultural vibe wherever we are, through music. A few notes can transport you to another place, another time.
Fink - This Is The Thing
"I don't know if you noticed anything different
It's getting dark and it's getting cold and the nights are getting long
I don't know if you even noticed at all
That I'm long gone baby, I'm long gone
#oldschoolrock | Skid Row
Skid Row is an American heavy metal band, formed in 1986 in New Jersey. Lead singer Sebastian Bach is perfect with his vocals, and their rasp and violent solo guitar riffs fit well with the late 80s metal making it one of the most successful songs of the band. Plus, they had something extra -- a flick of the wrist, a flip of the hair, a cracked smile, and a gleam in the eye.
