THE MACCABEES – Walking In The Air
First of all, we would like to apologise for reviewing this a week late. Maybe a Electric Banana review would have caused this cracking cover version to hit the top spot instead of Matt Cardle? Probably not, but we shall sadly never know! Anyway, the lovely festive classic (sung by Aled Jones – although, not in the actual film version) is given a brooding indie make-over by The Maccabees.
The south London five-piece recorded their version during a recent live recording session for On Track With SEAT for Channel 4, which was on the telly on 8th December and received such a great response from fans that a Facebook campaign was launched to get it released…and here it is. Now, you probably suspect that Orlando Weeks vocals are not as strong as Mr Aled Jones. Well, you are right, but he uses his moody voice perfectly to create an atmospheric triumph. Brilliant!

MONO – Trouble On The Way
Do you remember when Kings of Leon were 60% band and 40% moustache? Yeah? They were pretty great weren’t they? These boys are from the same neck of the woods (Nashville) as their older homies and offer a pretty good replacement for the exciting and raw 2003-era KoL stuff that has gone missing from the Followill’s own music since they started experimenting with Gillette products.
They’ve got that (classic rock) southern rock sound that made KoL so popular when they first broke out, but also (singer and Joe Strummer lookalike) Nick Brown’s vocals sound uncannily like Caleb Followill, which makes it almost impossible to see a Mono review over the next few months without seeing a mention of Kings Of Leon included. So, if you liked Youth and Young Manhood, then whack this onto your Christmas (download) list.

THE BEES – Winter’s Rose
Recent interviews with the The Bees over recent months has seen the band big up the “psychedelic ayahuasca plant” that they claim has broadened their horizons and is directly responsible for this Simon-&-Garfunkel-stoned-off-their-faces-esque track. Now, we don’t condone drug use at all, but we may have to have a rethink after listening to this blissed out little gem.
Winter Rose appears on The Bee’s fourth album Every Step’s a Yes, and is an indie reggae track (hold on, don’t judge it too quickly) that turns it into a hypnotic delight. The brilliance might not be immediate, but give it a few listens and let it intoxicate you.

HURTS – All I Want For Christmas Is New Year’s Day
Again, this was released last week (what the hell were we doing?) and sees the 1980s Bros-lookalikes release a song that is rammed full of Christmas cliches, but somehow manages to be avoid being completely rubbish.
And if you know your Christmas pop, then you’ll know that piano and a snowy video is the key to all things Christmassy. Double tick. However, despite it being a decent effort at an original Xmas song (which is very rare) – it can be almost be lumped into the same file as Westlife or Take That, as it sounds a bit phoney. Are we being a bit too harsh here? Also, why is Robert De Niro (or lookalike) dressed as Santa on the cover? Scary.

THE HUMAN LEAGUE – Night People
The Human League’s Don’t You Want Me has been played to death by TV advertising, La Roux, Little Boots, and probably every artist (slight exaggeration) who has released a song in 2009 and 2010 – due to the great electro renaissance. Therefore it really is no surpise that they have decided to make a comeback and strike while the iron is hot! Well, maybe lukewarm, as we are all getting sick of electro and 1980s-inspired keyboarding aren’t we?
Yes we are, but despite this actually sounding like a camp 1980s version of a Kraftwerk song with rubbish lyrics that may make you laugh out loud, it is an OK tune for those of you who can still stand all this electro nonsense and silly pointless lyrics.

KATY B ft. MS DYNAMITE – Lights On
Everybody (with the winning combo of working ears and brain) knows that Dubstep is the worst thing that has ever happened in the history of popular music. FACT.
So, here is the girl responsible for making it come out of our radios far too often than it should. Damn her! Katy B (Katie Brien), Peckham’s finest musical export, releases a song that continues the commercial brand of Dubstep that ALMOST makes it bearable to listen to. However, it needs to (dub)step completely away from Dubstep for most of you to get any enjoyment out of this.

It’s hard to imagine festivals without celebrations, decorations, parties and music. We all like festivals because it brings a feeling of happiness, of togetherness and it brings music to our life. Every festival in the world has some kind of music associated with it and so does the festival of Christmas.
It goes without saying that Christmas is one of the most popular festivals celebrated around the globe. Christmas music combines a variety of music which we normally hear around the Christmas season, or just days before the actual holiday. Though, we all are happier about the long holidays and celebrating this festival season, Christmas music does not emphasize on our holiday mood at all. In fact, many themes used in Christmas music relates to the winter season and the folklore surrounding the festival of Christmas.
These days we see many albums that come up just before the festival is about to begin, to give us that feeling of cheerful festive music. However, in early times chants, litanies, hymns were intended for use during the church proceedings. And in the 13th century under the influence of Francis of Assisi, the trend of Christmas carols written in vernacular language became popular. Carols were initially performed with flute music, combined with circle dances. However, in the Middle ages, carols were turned into songs with religious topics, to give it a feeling of Christmas music.
Christmas music has always been a combination of sacred and secular thoughts, which has been a trend even in the music of twentieth century. In the United States of America, Christmas music generally begins to play after the Thanksgiving holiday, when most of the shops around would start displaying Christmas decorations. The US music industry makes around 40 percent of its annual income through holiday music. The demand for Christmas melodies and jingles just before the actual day is high, and injects a spirit of Christmas into everyone. Hundreds of radio stations across the United States play Christmas music around the clock to keep everyone hooked to their radio sets.
