AN alternative Christmas playlist filled with credible indie artists performing cool festive songs is being enjoyed by precisely nobody.
The carefully-assembled playlist includes largely unknown tracks by The Killers, Kate Bush, Sufjan Stevens and Bob Dylan, and has been agreed by all the attendees at a pre-Christmas get-together to be ‘f**king shit’.
Lottie Phelps said: “I would have said I couldn’t think of anything worse than hearing that bloody Slade song again. Until this.
“Julian Casablancas, The Knife, Phoenix, Low, Eels? I like the bands but please stop. I can’t believe I’m saying this but get that Leona Lewis one on. Compared to these dirges it’s a tune.
“Like a lot of things around this time of year, the sentiment is wonderful but what we’ve actually received is a load of unwanted shite. Put aside your 6Music pretensions. Play the classics.
“And Fairytale of New York’s on it? That can’t be an alternative Christmas song, because it’s actually good.”
Host Tom Booker said: “You don’t understand. I can’t play those other songs. I used to work in retail.”
