Video: Last Christmas - Wham! (HQ Audio)

​It's practically perfect out today, so a summer coup for me and you.The wayfaring and lovely Dark Dark Dark announced a summer (West Coast) tour, the release of their next album, and a song...

Christmas is all about repeats. Last year I intoned. "This is the best Christmas song of all time, in my not so humble opinion. It retains this honour, because in essence, it's a very simple song witht a very timeless subject, fusing sugary pop and melancholy at the same time.

'I Wish It Was Christmas Today,' isn't all that bad. It is what you'd expect, nothing too out of the ordinary, it's very Stroke-sy easy listening and semi rocky.
