I doubt anyone’s noticed (or cares) but I haven’t posted my Best of 2014 list yet. What with Charli XCX and (shockingly) D’Angelo putting out new albums in only the past week it seemed a bit previous to do it any sooner, and to be honest I’ve just been too busy and lazy to write the bloody thing. I shall hopefully be doing that over the Christmas holiday while eating, drinking, and loafing.
This Proggy track from 1971 isn’t actually about a sleigh ride (apparently the title is an old whaler slang term) but it’ll do nicely instead of the usual Yuletide song fare. Brits of a certain age may recognize parts of this from it being used as the theme music for Weekend World.
I’m signing off for the year now, hope you and yours have a great festive season. See you in 2015.

Live version of this is best ever a Nantucket sleigh ride refers to the guys riding in the small boat behind a speared whale in an attempt to tire it out before killing it apparently a faily dangerous activity as usually the whale tipped or sank the boats happy new year
