CHRISTMAS RECORD OF THE DAY
"Peace on Earth/Little Drummer Boy" is a Christmas song performed by English singer-songwriter David Bowie and American singer Bing Crosby. Recorded on 11 September 1977 at ATV Elstree Studios near London for Crosby's television special Bing Crosby's Merrie Olde Christmas, the song features Crosby singing 1941 standard "The Little Drummer Boy" while Bowie sings the counterpoint tune "Peace on Earth", written by the special's musical supervisors Ian Fraser and Larry Grossman, and scriptwriter Buz Kohan, specifically for the collaboration. The duet was one of Crosby's final recordings before his death in October 1977.

KEEPING AN EYE ON 2024...
Slipknot Tour 2024
Bring Me The Horizon Tour 2024
Bring Me The Horizon have announced UK and Ireland arena shows for January 2024 as part of their NX_GN WRLD TOUR. They'll also be returning to Australia in April 2024 for seven headline arena shows, before an appearance at the second edition of Las Vegas' Sick New World festival later that month. They'll also headline Austria's Nova Rock Festival and Belgium's Graspop Metal Meeting in June, before topping the bill at Madrid's Mad Cool Festival in July.
BMTH's highly anticipated and rescheduled release of brand new album 'POST HUMAN: NEX GEN' is 05.01.24
Foo Fighters on tour through 2024
The Foo Fighters are on tour throughout 2024 taking in New Zealand, US & UK as well as festivals in Poland, France, Belgium & Denmark. In 2023 FF released the brand new album 'But Here We Are', with the band finding refuge in the music that brought them together in the first place 28 years ago, a process that was as therapeutic as it was about a continuation of life.
2024 will see the start of Judas Priest's world tour – starting in the UK and Ireland in March 24 then going into Europe and the US.
There are few heavy metal bands that have managed to scale the heights that Judas Priest have during their nearly 50-year career. Their presence and influence remains at an all-time high as evidenced by 2018's 'Firepower' being the highest charting album of their career, a 2010 Grammy Award win for 'Best Metal Performance', plus being a 2006 VH1 Rock Honors recipient and a 2017 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame nomination.

CHRISTMAS RECORD OF THE DAY
Merry Christmas (I Don't Want to Fight Tonight) first slipped out as a B-side in 1987, to the single I Wanna Live. It was as Joey a song as you could imagine – the 1-4-5 chord progression that can be traced back to their first single The Blitzkreig Bop

CHRISTMAS RECORD OF THE DAY ?
"Happy Xmas (War Is Over)" is a Christmas song released in 1971 as a single by John & Yoko/Plastic Ono Band with the Harlem Community Choir. It was the seventh single release by John Lennon outside his work with the Beatles. The song reached number four in the UK, where its release was delayed until November 1972, and has occasionally re-emerged on the UK Singles Chart, most notably after Lennon's murder in December 1980, when it peaked at number two.

CHRISTMAS RECORD OF THE DAY
‘Christmas in Hollis’ by Run-DMC - Certainly the most well-known Christmas hip hop tunes and one of the best, too, Run DMC’s witty Chrimble tale is the story of Run finding Santa’s bill-stuffed wallet in the park on Christmas Eve. ‘But I'd never steal from Santa, cause that ain’t right,’ says Run, in a fine show of festive spirit. It all makes for an ultimately catchy number that provides you with a bit of bounce if you’re feeling flat after too many mince pies.
