Funny out they ripped of Polly but describe the song as a Homage to Polly.

Good stuff Choco - Rattus Norvegicus remains one of my favourite punk albums, even though it probably wasn’t meant to be a punk album. Got to see Hugh Cornwell in Galway back in the early '00s, which was nice.

Kendrick Lamar King Kunta.

I think this might be my favourite tune of 2015.

Strangely addictive.

Because it’s fucking brilliant. Mixes G funk and James Browns the Payback. What more could you want on a Christmas Eve morning.

Time is Tight Booker T and the MGs.

Love a bit of Stax Soul around Christmas. Dancing around the kitchen here on the bad legs. Theme from Shaft on next.

What a bonus…he’s wearing a Patriots jacket. Tune of the year easily. Probably the greatest rapper ever too. @glasagusban has been mugged off here.

How have I been mugged off mate? I advised @habanerocat a few weeks ago that this was the album of the year. Keep up Choco. @Fagan_ODowd is spot on as usual.

Even though I’m an unashamed metal head, my favourite Led Zep tune is this little acoustic skiffle ditty. About a stroll with a dog.
