Some Christmas Songs That Won't Make You Want to Die! Some Christmas Songs That Won‘t Make You Want To Die! Bittles‘ Magazine | Christmas Music Special Now that we have entered that fickle month otherwise known as December, a swarm of dreaded Christmas music will have risen up from hell and attacked the ears of innocent music listeners everywhere. By JOHN BITTLES Nowhere is safe! Everywhere you venture you will be besieged by the shrill warbling of the likes of Mariah Carey, Slade, East 17 and worse of all Cliff ‘I’m dead inside’ Richards. It’s enough to make a grown man burst into tears while going postal with a homemade machine-gun (don’t try this at home kids unless your Mum allows you to use scissors). Those who possess the temerity to flick on the radio during these next few weeks will be inundated with overly happy people singing overly happy songs about snow, presents and sucking Santa off under the mistletoe. Adverts scream Christmas cheer at you and make even the most even minded become depressed at the gap between the lives presented on screen and the grey lonely existence which most of us know. And you can’t even think about going to a shop without experiencing palpitations at the thought of how each and every retail outlet will be playing Fairytale in New York (the edgy ones) and Wham’s White Christmas (all the rest). So just what is a music lover to do? Well, usually at this time of year I will find a nice dank wardrobe, cellar or cubby-hole and I will lock myself away with my Primal Scream collection, Smith’s boxset and Jesus and Mary Chain discography and emerge invigorated 26 days later. Let me emphasise that this will be the only sure way of escaping the horror that is Christmas music! But if you don’t have as great a record collection as me, or if all the likely hibernation places in your district are already filled then there are other measures to be taken to survive December and its perils. The best way to achieve this is to be pro-active and set out to find Christmas music that does not make your ears want to explode. There is stuff out there, although like more or less everything worth having you will have to indulge in a desperate and ever more frantic search. Even when you find them, care must be taken as you will need to utilise all your skills in coaxing these rare beasts out of hiding as you would an overly nervous Some Christmas Songs That Won‘t Make You Want To Die! fawn. For instance, last year Smith and Burrows of Editors and Razorlight fame (don’t laugh) released the rather listenable Funny Looking Angels which was an album containing heart-warningly melancholic seasonal fare. Similarly, but with more bombast was A Snowflake Fell (And it Felt Like a Kiss) by Scottish ruffians Glasvegas. Top tunes such as Fuck you, it’s Over and Cruel Moon illustrate how even though the nations’ televisions tell you that you are a social deviant if you don’t sport a mile-long smile, it really is ok to be angry, sad or messed-up when it comes to Christmas day. Hooray! In contrast This is Christmas by Emmy the Great and Tim Wheeler from Ash and A Very She & Him Christmas by (surprise surprise) She & Him will delight hipsters everywhere even if they should be avoided by normal people at all costs lest they suffer from an attack of the overly twee. Other releases to beware of include Snow Globe by 80s pop icons Erasure which gossip claims can cause aural herpes, Christmas Time by The Darkness since every time someone plays this a Santa Claus dies. As I am sure you wouldn’t want to be responsible for the demise of the real one I will rest easy at night now knowing that none of you shall ever play this hideous tune again. There is also the hairy-chested majesty of David Hasselhoff with The Night Before Christmas, an album so bad it is actually awful. Yet just try to listen to it without smiling and laughing! It’s nigh on impossible! Also, my mate Sam says that if you listen to the entire album while twirling round anti-clockwise in a knee length yellow cocktail dress it will cure erectile dysfunction, and you can’t really ask for more than that. And then we come to Swings Both Ways by Granny pacifier Robbie Williams. It may seem harsh, but to my mind at least this album is the sound of one man masturbating while gazing longingly at his reflection and trying furiously to come on his own face. Although it’s really not too bad if you’re into that type of thing! Much better is the wonderfully spine-tingling version of Frosty the Snowman by spectral indie-kings The Some Christmas Songs That Won‘t Make You Want To Die! Cocteau Twins, It Doesn’t Often Snow at Christmas by The Pet Shop Boys and Driving Home for Christmas by Chris Rea (What you mean you don‘t believe me?). Even renowned misery-guts Lou Reed got in on the decent Christmas tune act with Xmas in February which with the right media campaign could easily make this years Christmas number one. Eels’ Everything’s Gonna Be Cool This Christmas might have a try-too-hard title but is still very good while even the annual Christmas songs from The Killers tend to be just the right side of smarm. Those ethereal shoe-gazers Low gave us the rather majestic Christmas EP while best head-fuck moment comes from Lindstroms’ 42 minute version of Little Drummer Boy which is both an endurance test and a piece of hypnotic excellence. Also be sure to have a listen to A Christmas Album by Bright Eyes for some soulful acoustic strumming, Tinsel and Lights by bedsit queen Tracey Thorn and Simple Feeling/I Wonder as I Wander by Smoke Fairies. Phew! And if that doesn’t work then like a good Samaritan I am willing to rent out my spare closet for only £20 an hour. It is the season of giving after all! | JOHN BITTLES.

  • The Barroom Door Swings Both Ways (09/17/20)
    The Barroom Door Swings Both Ways (09/17/20) When I started practicing law, we brought many due process challenges to the actions of government. Due process is found in the Fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution. The Fourteenth Amendment, according to the United States Supreme Court jurisprudence imposed due process requirements on the states. An individual is entitled to a fair and impartial hearing from the government when the citizen is deprived of his or her rights. With the evolution of the law from the mid-1970s into the new century, due process was given less respect. Akin to due process is what is sometimes referred to in the law as “substantive” due process. This concept requires the government to act in a rational fashion, and to make decisions that have a discernible relationship to the issues confronting government. The courts routinely dismissed due process and rational relationship claims. The courts gave the government the benefit of a very high hurdle that no horse could jump. The courts said that government actions are “presumed” to be constitutional. It was necessary that there be proof of an intent to deprive a person of constitutional liberties. If the courts could find any articulable “rational relationship” between the harm and government action, the complaining citizen was thrown out of court. Successful due process and rational relationship substantive due process claims became rare. At the same time that hurdles to Fifth and Fourteenth Amendment claims were being erected, the First Amendment was being used to prevent the government from impinging upon the First Amendment religious rights of others.

  • The Local Landscape Architect
    JEFF STAPLETON, THE LOCAL LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT PLANTS FOR A MERRY CHRISTMAS With the writing of this column we are fast approaching Christmas…the second holiest day on the Christian calendar when we celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Many of our Christmas traditions stretch back over centuries, even millennia, including our use of plants. So, in honor of the season, this extended holiday column is going to focus on some plants that we commonly find in our Christmas decorations…indoors and out. Now, as with all lists, I will assuredly leave out plants with a rich Christmas tradition of their own. That being said, it’s hard to imagine Christmas without seeing the plants below in some shape or fashion, so let’s get started. Boxwood: “American” boxwood (Buxus sempervirens) first made its way to Virginia soon after British colonization, when “Virginia” encompassed all of North America. It is no wonder boxwood is so prominent during the holiday then, considering its Christmas tradition in the Commonwealth stretches back four centuries. Boxwood has numerous uses for Christmas decorations inside the home and in the landscape. Pyramidal cultivars or clipped topiaries make wonderful live Christmas trees in the garden, and the sturdy foliage of Buxus easily supports small lights. Boxwoods readily supply greenery for fresh Christmas decorations, including garlands and wreaths, but my favorite boxwood decorations for Christmas are kissing balls and table trees. Table trees are, well, small Christmas trees constructed of boxwood clippings. Kissing balls are small spheres formed out of boxwood leaves and typically hung over interior archways or openings.

We fell out. We made a mess. We draped ourselves in blame and disappointment and lurched around, bumping into each other. Some of us wailed and shouted; some of us barely made a sound. None of us was listening, or paying attention. And in the middle of it all you, very quietly, were gone. Helen and John are too preoccupied with making a mess of their marriage to notice the quiet ways in which their daughters are suffering. Junie grows up brittle and defensive, Anna difficult and rebellious. When fifteen-year-old Anna fails to come home one night, her mother's not too worried; Anna's taken off before but always returned. Helen waits three days to report her disappearance. But this time Anna doesn't come back .

  • Dan Hicks' Holidaze in Hicksville Launches Napa Valley Holiday Season at NVOH
    Hailed as, “The eternal hipster, purveyor of the drollest and most swingin' tunes the rock generation ever enjoyed” (Minneapolis Star Tribune), Dan Hicks and the Hot Licks have hijacked the holidays and created a Christmas album you’ll enjoy all year long. Released on October 12, 2010 through Surfdog Records, Crazy For Christmas is classic Hot Licks, full of the same dry wit and musical brilliance that has defined Dan Hicks’ music for the past four decades and established him as one of American music’s true cult heroes. “[Crazy For Christmas has] a joyously irreverent charm …[and is] a warm “You may not be able to believe in reminder of just how consistent, steady, and poignantly funny Hicks can Santa anymore, but thanks to Hicks and the Hot Licks you can be; any season of the year.” - All Music Guide still believe in the infinitely more valuable vibe and spirit that the “The perfect accompaniment to a holiday martini gathering.” Fat Man represents.” - LA Times - Premier Guitar “a classic in the making with its signature sense of humor and witty word that we’ve come to expect from Hicks.” - Glide Magazine “Hicks and the Hot Licks create a sound that evokes images of Mr. Natural truckin’ along and Django Reinhardt puffing on a cigarette, playing music so rhythmic and bouncy that it could make a cadaver dance.” - American Songwriter “A Christmas record that sounds antic and deadpan, “a devilish twist to holiday classics.” engaged and tossed off, almost magically laid-back. - Metro Weekly (Gonzalo Bergara’s Django Reinhardt-like solos ensure the professionalism.)” - New York Times “Simply put: nobody else in this world – nobody “Necessary for any holiday hipster.” – sounds like [Dan Hicks]” - Jambands.com - Mountain Times “Crazy For Christmas makes you want to put “By far my favorite new holiday album, Crazy for Christmas, on your shades (even if it's snowing) and just stands up to repeat listens, which really makes it a seasonal anomaly.
