I got 23 in the battle and just checked out some of the tunes, great tracks Couple of them had a little christmas vibe. Made me think might be fun to do a separate Xmas battle?
Life gets hectic in late nov/December so maybe could lay it out now ahead of time for anyone down with the idea and say like Dec 8th as deadline? If enough people contribute we could throw it on Bandcamp as an LP, charge a couple of $ and give all (if there is any) money to charity? Dec 8th would give enough time to do a little promotion ahead of Xmas before everyoneās on holiday (send it to blogs/online zines etc).
Dunno if anyoneās in to the idea? If yes Iām thinking keep it loose/fun/no rules except all has to be done in OP-1.
Anyone interested in doing something like this?
Edit - changed the thread title from ābattleā to āalbumā. Just saying so the post below still makes sense
Great point! I heard that even the English and Germans on the front line laid down their arms and shook each othersā hands at this merry time during WW2. Im not a history buff at all but I remember certain things

Haha, yeah didnāt they play football together? I canāt remember whats real and what Iāve seen in films
Edit - think I might actually just be remembering the Pipes Of Peace video by Paul McCartney!? Haha

Was Pipes of Peace a McCartney Crimbo hit? Wow, I never knew that. All in all, Iād love to make something reminiscent of my number 1 favourite Christmas tune - Simply Having A Wonderful Christmas Time. I love Paul and he is officially the only act I would like to see live. He loves Japan too so Iām expecting him soon. In the meantime I have almost all of his recordings on vinyl.
There was a certain era where Christmas songs became cool and their modernness has passed into classical. I feel that modern musicians of today canāt muster up that same energy. First we had the great Crooners, then we had the modern stuff, and since that it HAS NOT been toppled or parred.
Everyone should love Christmas music. Iām really looking forward to going back to good old Gloucester and enjoying the choir at the cathedral this year.

Seen Macca live a couple of times. Havenāt paid much attention to his music post 80s but big Beatles fan so was cool seeing him play those songs. He canāt help but be cringey a lot of the time (kept doing a really bad Jamaican accent while talking in between songs at Hyde Park, no idea why!?) but I guess heās always been like that really. Genius melodicist and musician/voice tho.
Yeah Christmas āsongsā seem a thing of the past. Guess the worldās (or at least UK and US) too self-conscious for them nowā¦A shame really. No idea whatās in the charts these days but would be nice if there was still a place there for that kind of corny optimism now and again for my kids to grow up with I hated the 80s when I was growing up but they look a lot better from here nowā¦
Yeah Iāll be taking my kids to a big choir show somewhere this year too, gotta get those memories/experiences in their little heads as often as possible
Maybe should add ācover versionsā of Xmas songs to be allowed as well if anyone wants to do one? Basically no rules at all outside of using OP to make it Anything Christmas vibes and uploaded by Dec 8th! Everyone cool with that? Iām not really in to being the person writing this rules stuff!
Thatās the Law rule :D. So what we should do ? Covers are pretty attractive (I was just listening a 100 top christmas hits playlist to find something great to be sampled )
