It’s that time of year again, even if the incongruously balmy weather suggests otherwise. So, this past weekend Bec & I made another set of black cakes<\/a>. This time, in anticipation, we started the fruits soaking in black-strap rum and Manischewitz a couple weeks in advance. And man, did they come out sweet<\/a>. <\/p>\n


\n<\/a><\/p>\n

To vibe with the Caribbean Christmas recipe<\/a>, we listened to a whole heap of panang<\/a> of course (h\/t<\/a>). How can you go wrong with songs about how great it is to eat a food and drink a rum and have a jolly time with friends & fam? Well, I s’pose you could introduce daggering to the whole(some) equation–<\/p>\n

\nIn a slightly more (?) traditional vein, some friends around the ol’ ‘osphere have been putting together some xmassy mixes. I highly recommend Gavin’s<\/a> and Siebe’s<\/a> seasonal selections. Plus, DJ BC<\/a> put together another Santastic comp<\/a>, which includes a bassliney \/ dubsteppy remix of the Chanukah song<\/a> by my partner in Beat Research<\/a>, DJ Flack.<\/p>\n

For my own part, I’m sorry to report that for a third straight year I have failed to put together another Christmas mix of my own, but for those of you who haven’t yet heard it, or — as with things like It’s a Wonderful Life<\/a><\/em> and A Christmas Story<\/a><\/em> — are happy to revisit such fare every December, allow me to point you once again to my “Remix-mas” (originally posted here<\/a>):<\/p>\n

My failure to produce is not exactly for want of trying. Over the last few years I’ve put together a couple flailing attempts at Christmashy things, some more successful than others. Most of them quite odd (nature of the beast?). If you’re in the mood, have a listen \/ read on —<\/p>\n

We’ll see. I may yet have another odd attempt in me. Til then, hope these (good) tide(ings) you over!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
