Ah.  Christmas records.  Dontcha just love 'em?

I've spent the last two weeks subjected to The Best Christmas Album In The World...  Ever.  As an antidote I've spent some time seeking out alternative Christmas albums.

The outright winner has to be A John Waters Christmas.  Camp, kitsch, painful; everything you would expect.  The only track I could find on youtube is the above - Tiny Tim's superb rendition of Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer, but I heartily recommend you seek out the entire album.

Mix a martini, slip on your smoking jacket, call up your young friends and enjoy a louche lounge Christmas with the Pope of Trash.
