It's beginning to look a bit like Christmas

Axe Victims: Eric Clapton & Angus Young actually rubbish shock. Seen these shredding clips yet? Probably the funniest thing around on Youtube, made by a genius spoofer.

Costume Drama: No, not Cranford - It's Lulu again, and now she's doing Mrs Robinson. From the 1970 Bee Gees TV special, Cucumber Castle.

Tinsel:Brenda Lee had one of the all-time Christmas hits with Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree. Here she is singing Dum Dum in a fashionable 2-piece and presumably some assistance from Ellnet, on someone's lawn.

I go ape: The Trunk Monkey provides great car theft and road rage protection.

Tom Tom Club: The Colonel's watching those who disparage the paradiddle on this board. After work, you're to attend my office and watch this Louis Bellson solo all the way through.

Ike Turner: How many other men have had a girl group named after them? Personally, I'm thinking of starting up The Pleasurettes in the New Year. Auditions booking now. Anyway, Ike had a tough old life. Standing behind The Ikettes every night must have been dreadful.

Not Driving Home For Christmas: Christmas should be a time for reflection, and consideration for parents left alone. As usual, it takes a country song to express that particular loneliness in a sympathetic way. Like Red Peters does here.

Shredding

Those clips are great. I love his take on Metallica:

The nightmare of standing behind the Ikettes...

....was clearly too much for him. As soon as they come on he turns towards the drummer.
