After the usual ticking clock introduction marking the inevitable passage of time, we start with Adrift by The Robert Mellin Orchestra from Robinson Crusoe (Christmas Island?), followed by L’Enfance du Christ – Le Repos de la Sainte Famille by Berlioz recorded in 1932. It’s Christmas Time; first of two tracks by Sun Ra and The Qualities from a recent issue of all the Sun Ra singles 1952-1991. Tim Etchells and Aisha Orazbayeva; All New Tales of the Time Poor. How Will You Spend Christmas? by Reverend A.W. Nix. Second half of Dead Drunks by Chris Petit (read by Dan Scott). Lahuwahlahu, Faring and Kunna; three short vocal tracks by Rully Shabara. After this, I lose the plot slightly and go into a sort of melange of Capital Decor, Charles Laughton, The Laughing Clown, something with a beat composed by Daniele Cosmo (Motoric Deranged?). Somewhere in this, Enrico Caruso sings Cantique de Noel, recorded in 1916. Happy New Year to all my listeners!
