LOST IN CHRISTMAS

first go to:
http://newmedia.10thst.com/blondie/splash.html
and download our xmas song; a version of 'we three kings'
the genesis of this track is simple enough; when i first heard the unfamiliar chorus part
i thought 'gee that sounds like something by 999 or other early punk thing' ...the "star of wonder star of light..." part has the rhythm of a punk song in other words

then yes we watched all of the five seasons of 'Lost' on dvd... pretty early on i got that it was being written on the fly as it were, that it had an outline that was filled in in a sort of improvisational manner which was cool but my fears were that like 'Twin Peaks' it would all amount to nothing even vaguely rational... its ok though, its nice to see all of this stuff dished out in mainstream format... 'Richard Alpert' ha ha ha etc
soooo i think that whats gonna happen is that yes they will wind up back on the plane and everything will be like it was almost... problem will be that they all will still have their memories of the island! at least the ones that were there when the bomb went off... you heard it here... i will surely see the last season, we'll see...
meanwhile i gotta say i liked 'Battlestar' better

We3Kings: Brilliant,brilliant,brilliant. Pace, energy, edge. Great video. A trip down Blondie memory lane with a bit of Eat thrown in and the Hanging video plus a touch of DidU ending but more than that new, new, new and fresh as Debs eyebrows. Ganesh is working his trunk off. Grateful thanks to all involved and happy hols.

Can't believe that 999 is on your radar - they hardly get a mention anywhere. Probably my second favourite band (or the Spex, I change my mind). I have often imagined you doing a cover of Obsessed with all the guitar parts and a great vocal for Debs.

Thank you so much for "We Three Kings"!It's amazing!!
Listening to it, makes me feel happy, watching the video makes me smile and all I want is more and more!
I downloaded the track on Saturday morning, it's Monday evening and I haven't stopped repeating it over and over again! It brings back memories from the first time I ever heard it, when you played it live in England, some 7 years ago...
I really hope it gets released on all possible physical formats. It would be the perfect gift for the Holiday season and deserves to be #1 all over the world!
