Six of the best

In these dark days, we need a little chink of light. On the drive into work today, I composed a six-track midwinter playlist.

To keep you warm on those reindeer-chasing nights, try Furr by Blitzen Trapper:

For the long, cold nights, staying indoors, try Coffee and TV, by Blur:

For a good Cambrian morning, Bore da by Euros Childs:

For those unsure when exactly Midwinter is, Is it like today? by World Party:

 
Is it like today?

For those cavorting around the Solstice campfire, just trying to keep warm, John, I'm only dancing, by David Bowie:

 
John, I'm only dancing


And perhaps overly optimistically for the Winter Solstice, Sun hits the sky, by Supergrass:

 
Sun hits the sky 

And if this marvellous music itself wasn't enough, the first syllable of each song title spells out a heart-warming festive message. Merry Midwinter!
