One of my favourite bands from the 90's released this a few years ago.

I first saw them support Def Leppard in 1993 at their homecoming show in 1993 and kept an eye on them since. They are still a good live band although they are pretty much part time.

Filmed the video at some fans house who go to pretty much all their shows.

Sounds like i'm their biographer or something.

I opened this thread as this song was on my player. Worlds are colliding, Jerry!

I'm not quite sure why Youtube videos appear for me anymore. I've tried various ways of posting this.

Anyway, this is Rufus Wainwright's "Spotlight on Christmas":

Mod Edit: embed youtube video

Youtube video links on mobile devices can be tricky. Also youtube creators have the option of disabling embedding permissions for websites other than YT. Youtube also disables it on some videos for copyright or age related reasons.

In the case of the previous post; I just used the desktop version hyperlink and it seemed to work.

A few of Rufus' relatives give a lesson in harmonizing.

Don't know if this is in here but if so a search didn't find it. Somehow this is now 22 years old.

Doesn't get a lot of play on radio or in the app playlists, but it's great in a low key way. Also NOT a cover of the better known "The Christmas Song" ( Chesnuts Roasting on an Open Fire....), just has the same name.

This is still the best Christmas song of all time (that like 15 people have ever heard)
