Helloooooooooo! And MERRY SQUIDMAS! Look! Here's a wonderful festive song for you!

Isn't it wonderful, this glorious festive time of year! We're not ones to mutter “Bah Humboldt” - we LOVE Squidmas!

The big news here in the UK has of course been the fantastic campaign to get Rage Against The Machine to Christmas number 1, which was completely and wonderfully successful. In case you were having trouble choosing between Rage and its foe, The Climb, we've mashed the two of them together into one resplendent creation:

I'm doing my spot on Sky News this evening, if you're interested, I'll be on a bit after 7, talking about some internets and stuff.

The Metro gave us a couple of nice mentions this week. They gave Killing In The Climb a lovely write-up here:

And they gave us a mention in their noughties retrospective here:

Hooray for them!

I think that's about it for this week, except once again to wish you a wonderful Squidmas! And to tell you that I love you of course! I love you so hard! I'd do anything for you! I'd submit myself to the terrible ministrations of Father Squidmas for you! I'd let him collect me from the Squid God skinned, dismembered and screaming and fly around the word in his rotting whale carcass sleigh, dropping bits of my skin down people's chimneys along with hunks of rotting whale flesh. I'd do that for you! Because I love you that hard!

Mwah mwah extrasuperduperhugs!

Yours sincerely
