So, it’s finally Christmas Eve. Forgive me for being late with this one.
Yet again, the fact that one of our main units of time consists of twenty four of another comes in useful. Today’s song is 24 Hours by 10cc.
And that concludes another year of advent. I’ll be back again on the 1st of December next year or, who knows, I may even find something else to write about before then. Merry Christmas, everyone!

Today sees the return to the musical advent, four years and twelve days after their first appearance, of Ned’s Atomic Dustbin!
The song is Twenty Three Hour Toothache, which I have unfortunately only been able to find online on Myspace. Click on the play button and the song will appear in a pop-up window.

It turns out that 22 is an even less popular number than 14 in songs.
Thankfully, those mad Scandinavians are here to help, with a gothic metal band. This is 22 by Sundown.

Some more weird, relaxing instrumental stuff today, from an album on which every track appears to have been named by picking a completely random number.
This is Nineteen by Pillowdiver.

This may count as cheating, but I don’t really care because it’s good.
Today’s music is Tchaicovsky’s 1812 Overture.

This one is completely mad. The album it’s from is called Asylum with good reason, it would seem. As soon as I saw the utterly bizarre nature of the song title and band name, I knew I had to use this one.
