Hey guys! I'm in the midst of making an Advent Calendar of free music, mostly of the "sloppy folk songs recorded on any of several tape machines in varying states of disrepair" variety, kind of inspired by the cassette albums I used to make with my brothers when I was a kid. Some of the songs are happy, some of them are sad, all of them are a bit of a mess. These are the ones I've done so far:
Summoning RitualRegression Sickness, Parts I & IIThe Landing[Instrumental]Pink Plastic Tree SongIdyll No. 1 (Parking Lot Scene)SnowfallRegression Sickness, Part IIIIf you want to follow along, that'd be great. I'll be posting them to my SoundCloud each day: https://soundcloud.com/hlemkeWhile we're on the subject, I'd really like to know some things about you. Christmas is a time thick with memories for most people I know, and that's by turns beautiful and kind of oppressive. So: what about you?Do you actually like Christmas? What are some of your strongest memories from this time of year? Does it mean anything in particular to you? What makes it hard/nice for you? etc.Go!

I love Christmas. When I was younger we would have Christmas day as my parents and my brother and I and we'd open presents during the morning, have a great lunch and then do something in the afternoon. On the days around Christmas day, relatives would come round.
Last year I spent Christmas day on my own. I was working at Ted Baker and had shifts Christmas eve and boxing day. I didn't have a proper oven or anything so I bought a big cooked ham and a bunch of festive microwave side dishes and watched a load of films for the day!This year, my girlfriend and I are spending Christmas together just the two of us for the first time. I'm excited to start our own Christmas traditions. :) Some of her family are coming on the weekend after and we're going to have another pseudo Christmas day.But yes, I love Christmas, I love the happiness it brings and I love being with the people I love.Also, Die Haaaaaaard!!!
