What is your all-time favorite Christmas movie?
What is your all-time favorite Christmas movie?
Perhaps ABBA said no- they are notorious regarding allowing people to sample on sing their music.
My #ArtistFave15 is #KylieMinogue.
#BonusDay1๏ธโฃ GBI (German Bold Italic)-Towa Tei feat Kylie
Quite easily Kylieโs most quirky song- an alt pop, jungle, techno tune- she sings on GBI as a typeface!
GBI was lead single from #TowaTei album #SoundMuseum. In promo Kylie goes Geisha!

Wow Josh our musical tastes are so similar- Iโm in the process of making a 2025 Best of too- however most of my albums are either in your top 10 or runners up list! ๐ฅฐ๐ค
Glad to see Alison Goldfrappโs โFluxโ, Lady Gagaโs โMayhemโ, SEBโs โPerimenopopโ, Keshaโs โ.โ, Ed Sheeranโs โPlayโโฆin your list.๐คฉ
Kate did a lot of editing of a family photo- with George, Charlotte and Louis- their hands were duplicated and cut off & general proportions were way out too! ๐๐
It was so badly photoshopped- lots of little mistakes Kate had to make a confessional Iโm sorry video!

๐ Taste It
โTaste Itโ was the 4th single release from INXS album โWelcome To Wherever You Areโ- peaked at #36 on AU #ARIASinglesCharts.
The raunchy #INXS promo for #TasteIt answers any lingering doubts regarding the songโs adult concepts!
Iโm not familiar with the music of the Carpenters.
However โThe Madonna Songbookโ author claims Cherish & Take A Bow were heavily influenced by the sound of Karen Carpenter.
Wow that flower on your zebra plant looks so pretty Drew. ๐๐ฅฐ
I once had a zebra plant- it never flowered- I accidentally sent it to heaven! ๐๐
Good to know Canva is user friendlyโ๏ธ- I recall Kate the Princess of Wales getting into a spot of bother using photoshop on family photos a few years ago! ๐๐
LBJ should be on the cover of DNA! ๐ฉท
I remember Blankety Blanks๐ฅฐ- I wish theyโd bring that show back now that Neighbours has been axed for the 2nd time! ๐ฅฒ
Love David Bowie! โ๏ธ
Did she? Iโm not surprised Kylie wowed people live again- Kylie has had a very busy and productive 2025!
PS: Down Under โStrictly Come Dancingโ is called โDancing With The Starsโ- not sure why, the format is identical!
Itโs fabulous! Yes in Australian shops theyโre selling a variant of Kylieโs Christmas album without the track Xmas!
Thank goodness a friend warned me about the variant issue before I purchased it! ๐คฉโค๏ธ
Thanks Josh- I was wondering if it ever was going to arrive. But due to the magic of Xmas it did. ๐
#NowPlaying: XMAS by Kylie Minogue (from album โKylie Christmas: Fully Wrappedโ; Ltd Edt Transparent Green #Vinyl).
Itโs the 10th anniversary of Kylieโs first Christmas album- sheโs added a few more songs, taken a few songs away.
I really enjoy her Xmas single โXMASโ!

Iโm an Xtina fan and have her other albums- Iโm not sure how all her Xmas eras have passed me by! ๐คทโโ๏ธ
I had no idea Playground was your personal favourite Madonna song- itโs a great song- I just wish we had access to her super long movie credits version.
Thanks for the montage link. ๐
I wasnโt aware Xtina had a Xmas album out too.
Iโll check it out. ๐๐
Thanks Drew- Iโve never heard of Canva- Iโll give it a try.
Itโs nice to see the entire rankings at one glance.
Thanks again! ๐
I was astonished to learn Madonna covered this somewhat obscure ABBA song- it was recorded prior to Hung Up- she still has her Post-Evita voice & I think Orbit is on production.
I have no idea why Madonna never released this song- too many songs with โLike Aโฆโ as part of their title? ๐คทโโ๏ธ
Iโll be in knots over how to rank the PSBโs music- I can assure you. ๐ค๐
Gosh 2026 isnโt all that far away now! ๐คฉ
For 2025 I had a list of things I hoped to achieve- and whilst it was a great year with unexpected surprises- I achieved absolutely nothing on my 2025 list! ๐๐๐
Glad to hear itโs only 10 songs- I thought it was 15! ๐๐
Last night I made up a list of Xmas songs I liked and literally came up with 10 songs. Some Iโm all set! ๐๐๐ค
#NowReading: PRINCE: A Sign Oโ The Times by John McKie (534 p,2025).
Iโve only just begun reading this book however I find its exploration of #Prince- both the man & the artist- fascinating to learn more about.
And just in case youโre wondering it covers Princeโs music from all eras! ๐

โDancing On My Ownโ is an outstanding Robyn track Yuri- glad to see it made your #1.
Great Robyn #ArtistFave15 list btw. Like that I can see everything ranked at a glance. ๐ฅฐโ๏ธ
#ArtistFaveLP will be paused for December, but will return in January ๐
Iโm looking forward to participating in #ArtistFaveXmas.
As you know I have a bittersweet relationship with Xmas music.
I do enjoy some Xmas music though! ๐๐
It was fun- I like your #ArtistFace15 summary at a glance Drew.
PS: Iโm not that great at tech- how do I write song titles over an artists image? I hope you can help- thanks. ๐คโ๏ธ
Iโm interested & curious to see which artists you chose for Jan & Feb Drew.
I find it endearing to learn youโve been putting these faves off & are in knots over their rankings.
For Jan Iโm attempting the Pet Shop Boys to rank. ๐
I missed your AF15 from June Drew- I was predominately on X until September.
โLike An Angel Passing Through My Roomโ- from their 2nd last album- is sublime! ๐ฅฐ
Madonna covered LAAPTMR & she did a splendid job- however she chose not to release it. Thankfully it was leaked online!
