| DN2Patricia DN2Patricia | Looking for an alternative christmas....This would usually be too early for me to think of anything to do with christmas, but needs must, where I work we don't normally have music playing but christmas is a non stop loop of the same christmas tunes 24 hours. I like all the traditional songs, well mostly, but I need a,or several back up cd's,so any suggestions for indie tunes that even just mention christmas would be welcome, the fools I work with think they are safe with no cure tunes, I may not include them all but Hey You is a sure thing, plus Deep-pearl jam....waiting patiently for suggestions...please |

 cats_n_cheese | Re: Looking for an alternative christmas....Are you looking for upbeat songs? I'd pick something controversial, like Killing In The Name by Rage Against The Machine ;-) If it was good enough to beat the X factor crap to Xmas no 1 it's good enough for an alt-Xmas playlist ;-) |

Hey You..yes you the one who looks like christmas Other Voices... come around at christmas Strange Attraction...a christmas card in sepia Last dance...but christmas falls late now Lets go to bed..laughing at the christmas lights and as Blacklilly said The Snakepit, I'm sure there is another but I can't think, he describes someone as looking like tinsel maybe thats it! Anyway I 've been warned I can't just put a cure cd on only one other cure fan where I work! |

| DN2Patricia | Re: Looking for an alternative christmas....Have found an album, We wish you a metal x mas and a head banging new year, some great tracks, little drummer boy and run rudolph run, with Lemmy and Dave Grohl are my fav.I thought that would keep the rockers happy but they've added an album by twisted sister, a twisted christmas! haven't heard it yet but told its good.Thanks for all the suggestions I now have 38 tracks not including twisted sister album so looking foreward to a change from wham, last christmas, and the like, don't mind them but only in small doses...Merry Christmas!! |

The male in the band, used to look a bit like a young Robert. It´s funny how some danish bands that are actually good never make it outside Denmark and some bands that are not that lovely (my opinion) gets huge (eg. aqua) I do live in Copenhagen, actually just behind the building where the cure play in 2008? (I think). which hotel were you staying at? sounds a bit expensive. maybe I should go for a short visit there :-) |
