Oh, you know what, this is going to make my Christmas complete. And that was not sarcasm. Perhaps you'll believe me if I tell you that a couple of weekends ago I bought a CD of reggae versions of Christmas songs.
Anyway, go Billy Idol. He's recorded an album of Christmas songs. 'Happy Holidays' is set to feature the rocker's covers of classic yuletide tracks such as 'White Christmas', 'Winter Wonderland' and 'Silent Night'. If someone doesn't send me a copy of this guaranteed seasonal wonder, I will cry. So get on it.
Billy says: "I wanted a selection that would please all, while still exploring the awe and mystery that is Christmas. These songs are a challenge to sing as so many other singers have interpreted them in their own style. It was fun to come up against all that and find that these songs sing themselves."
Incidentally, I don't appear to have received a copy of the Sufjan Stevens Christmas album yet. Ahem.
