Hark the herald angels sing
Fades In Slowly is the king
Stunning podcasts, juicy files
Beats all others by a mile
Joyfully my comment sits
(Simon Cowell gives me the shits)
Why go elsewhere? Who can tell?
Adam’s our Emmanuel
Hark how all the blogland sings
Fades In Slowly. King Of Kings!
with aplogies to Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy, who never wanted it to be a carol in the first place anyway x

I dunno, you slave over a hot keyboard for at least two minutes for writing something you would have been burned at the stake for once upon a time, and all you get is the great man’s modesty. Oh well
Happy New Year bro if I don’t hear from you before then. x
