Fed up with listening to the usual Christmas (s)hits? Well get some of this festive finery into your face and have yourselves a fun old feast of foolery!
Containing a veritable smorgasbord of genres, from funk to punk, metal to motown, J-Pop to jazz rock and even some avant-garde to ambient, each track was handpicked by members of the WSTS Picaroon Platters Radio team. We chose only the finest Christmas treats, with every song having been matured over the last 51 weeks for maximum ear-taste: plump, juicy and bursting with Yuletide, you can expect only the best Christmas music* from WSTS Picaroon Platters!
*Apart from the Tears For Fears track, although the reason for its inclusion has been explained as thus: "(it) sounds very xmas-y to me" - Joe.
Anyway, please enjoy our little gift, and a very merry holidays to you all!
