Its Listmas! DAY THREE
And so we reach the inevitable singles of the year, but before that I should probably let you have the mp3 first. We could be a while…
THE BEN BAKER DIRTY VIDEO CASSETTE
Series Two, Episode Four - “About Peak Time” [10′57, 80kb] Part one of a two part special episode in which Terry Thoughtful teaches Ben Baker the true meaning of adult literacy and they both learn an important lesson about spastics. Mostly not calling them that.
Now onto the singles. The first half of a top 20, to be precise. Now I’ve done these aimless charts over a decade now and it looked for a while as if this years wouldnt happen, with the download ‘revolution’ and less and less actual CD releases. Then I thought “fuck it” as I dont think I actually bought any of these on record anyway.
So this is a proper singles chart [although one was a rare 7” only available in North America but other than that…], I decided to judge something as a single if it had a music video. And a proper one with some sort of budget too, not just an MS Paint representation of a Wierd All Yankchovickt album track. Oh, and if you click any of the names, you’ll be whizzed via the power of YouTube to said video to try for yourself and ultimately call me fucking mental. Its ok, I’m used to it.
Shall we…?

Now, unlike the past few days I’m not going to defend these all in the Facebook notes but will happily answer your ”WHY?!?!” to any of them in said comments box. No’s 1-10 tomorrow and dont forget the BIG NEWS happening here on Christmas Eve.
And no, I promise you I’m not becoming a woman…ish.
