Whamegeddon 2024

I think Im still in because of the clause in rule 3. Its only George giving a hint of his new #1 hit

Band Aid "Do They Know it’s Christmas? " is a great holiday song

This is my favorite cover version at least. It usually tides me over while I wait.
I promise it’s not a trick, haha.

I am officially out however, as of day 3. I heard it from SOMEONE ELSE’S CAR while I was driving around. Jerks, lol.

Almost got Whammed for the first time. Luckily, it was a cover in the style of Slipknot. I’m safe, for now….

Still applies here, for those of you that are into classic synthesizers and drum machine, this video shows how George programed the LINN Drum and Juno for the track. Related to the Band Aid documentary above “Last Christmas” never hit #1 on the charts because it was always 2nd fiddle to “Do They Know its Christmas”, however George and Andrew donated all of their proceeds to the Band Aid cause in Ethiopia :ethiopia:

Holy smokes, boys, that was a close one. Hopped in a customers car for a test drive, and reflexively hit the mute button as I always do, because customers have terrible taste in music, and I need to hear what’s up with the car. Lo and behold, what do I see in the infotainment screen???
