Dear Too Much Biography,

I checked my list and, although you had been good girls and boys this year, you had let yourselves down too. Downloading the new Bloc Party album months before release, dear oh dear, Mrs Christmas said I had to wait for it. So as your punishment, I came up with some tunes for you to listen to during that depressing bit of Christmas Day; when the presents are all opened and the relatives are making conversation. I had a quick listen to it when fixing my sleigh last week but it made Rudolph cry. Luckily its not too much punishment as they are all rather good tunes if I say so myself. Ho ho ho.

Hope you enjoy the music. And be good next year – my elves and I are always watching. If I see any of you downloading the new Radiohead album before release, there will be trouble.

Jingle jingle.
Love Santa
