Day 4: A Change at Christmas (Say it Isn't so) - The Flaming Lips
From the ridiculous to something rather wonderful as Wayne Coyne and friends turn to an old chestnut and pray for world peace for Christmas. In the hands of others it could be a schmaltzy disaster but the Lips are too smart and sassy to mess up the opportunity to impart a haunting yuletide message via a spacy, other-wordly track. Worth a download.
Oh, if I could stop time / It would be a frozen moment / just around Christmas.
Born at an early age a mere defenders' spit from the Boleyn ground, Billy Blagg has seen every West Ham game from 1898 onwards. Blagg was mentioned by Kenneth Wolstenholme in 1966 as one of the people on the pitch during the famous Hammers win over West Germany that lifted the World Cup and he returned to the pitch again for the 1975 FA Cup Final but stayed on the terrace for 1980 FA Cup victory. Blagg, 26, now lives with his eighth wife and innumerable children in a small semi-detached with chintz curtains in Dagenham, Essex and still attends every Hammers match and training session.
