Every year since 2001, I've dispensed with the idea of Christmas cards and put together a compilation CD of my favourite songs, from albums released that year.
Afraid of Christmas 2007 is ready.
There are a couple of tracks that have sneaked in from 2006 but for good reasons. You get to feel smug if you can spot 'em.
Love Your Man, Love Your Woman: The Broken Family Band, from Hello Love
Surrender: Dropkick Murphys, from The Meanest Of Times
Gypsy Biker: Bruce Springsteen, from Magic
Bushes and Briars: Sandy Denny, from Live At The BBC

Grace Kelly: Mika, from Life In Cartoon Motion
No One Would Riot For Less: Bright Eyes, from Cassadaga

Russian Literature: Maxïmo Park, from Our Earthly Pleasures
Plywood Superman: Jim White, from Transnormal Skiperoo
When You Go: Lightning Dust, from Lightning Dust
