Its Friday! I’m making this a tad late, you see I spent the better part of my Thursday out and about trying to get some final Christmas decor and when I was not doing that my power was out. So I don’t have much of a preamble or a ramble. This makes me want to gamble with skipping it and shipping it this week with just the rundown of headlines. I’ve still got a song this week though. It’s one of my favorite Christmas Tunes. From The Kinks it’s Father Christmas a song about a bunch of poor kids hassling a Department Store bell Santa demanding that instead of wasting time giving them toys that he give them all money and jobs for their parents because poverty fucking sucks. It’s a kickass little punk song and the guitar work is really great. Check it out!

Link Roundup Yeehaw!!!
