'Tis the season to be jolly! Christmas is now just around the corner so as yuletide traditions go, the fifth volume of our online compilation series is our special gift to you, our dearest of dear friends. We are calling it Holly, Ivy And Mistletunes and included are some Christmas-y originals, while a few are cover versions. You'll be delighted that there's even a cover of a cover. You'll know what we mean once you hear 'em.

"We held our breath across each bridge
Till we were blue;

But I wonder if I wished the same as you,

Like a ten-year-old pretending

Summer isn't really ending."


Thousands of miles and several time zones away down under, some time tonight, The Lucksmiths are going to play their last show ever. They will be sorely missed by us. Music To Hold Hands To is the second part of the fourth installment of our online compilation series and is also our little tribute to the lads of Melbourne.

Volume 4b is entitled Music To Hold Hands To and it's a little tribute to Aussie indiepop outfit, The Lucksmiths. As some of you might know, they're on their farewell tour and are about to call it quits at the end of it. Their last show will be on August 29th in Melbourne, and the tribute should be made freely available the day after that. Associated with this Luckies tribute compilation is a tribute night which will be held somewhere in Metro Manila featuring Archaster, Balloon Derby, Dress, Radiomanila, Slumbook and Your Imaginary Friends. There's a slight change in regards to the details but we'll keep you posted.
