Boxing Day Double

The period between Christmas Day and New Year's Eve (increasingly known as Twixtmas) is the best bit of the festive period for me- the big day has gone and you're into a vague hinterland, not quite sure what day it is. Normal rules regarding eating, drinking and socialising don't apply. Time expands and contracts. It could be Thursday afternoon, it could be Tuesday morning, it doesn't really matter. Things kick in again on 30th December as people begin to ask what you're doing on New Year's Eve but for a couple of days, it's very much a slowed down life. 

A Boxing Day double for you. In 2015 Courtney Barnett had the Boxing Day Blues. She had them pretty bad...

Boxing Day Blues

Two years before that Dark Horses and Justin Robertson's Deadstock 33s found an altogether livelier and more acidic way to spend the first day of Twixmas- drones, motorik drums, lysergic synthlines, a bassline to shake you out of your torpor and a numbed out vocal. One to put on when the relatives you haven't seen yet pop round later and you want to raise the Boxing Day intensity levels a little.

Dark Horses

Ctel posted this at Acid Ted the other day (but it's easy to miss stuff there as he posts several times a day). I thought I'd re-present it here as it's a good 'un and it's very much in Bagging Area territory. Justin Robertson, dressed in his Deadstock 33s clothes, remixes Dark Horses and their song Boxing Day- lengthy with drones and crisp motorik drums, 'krauty' as Ctel noted but pretty clubby and direct with it- I like it very much and it's a free download. Get it from Soundcloud.
