Daniel Knox: “Last Christmas”

A quirky holiday new classic. It’s no “Jingle Bells” or “Silent Night,” but Daniel Knox’s cover of Wham!’s “Last Christmas” makes the case for itself as part of an expanded canon. What’s that white noise in the background? A needle endlessly rotating along the inner groove of a record? It’s the kind of noise you hear the next morning after indulging in too much eggnog the night before and falling asleep with the lights on. It’s the kind of noise you hear when Leland Palmer is about to murder Laura’s cousin, Maddie. Definite Radiator Song vibes. And you can take it all home with you with the limited edition, lathe-cut 7-inch via Bandcamp. Give it a spin because #xmas4eva.
