That scent of talc lingers in the sky.
To your sportscar, you can wave goodbye.
To your nice guitar, now's the time to mourn.
This comes to pass when a child is born

Ho ho ho, merry christmas! Every year, there's one stand out festive record. The Crookes came close with You're Just Like Christmas and Los Campesinos! had a christmas EP with some quality tracks on it, but for us, it's this reworking of When A Child Is Born by Cardiff's John MOuse. His album earlier in the year, The Death Of John MOuse, was a big favourite at IBWM Towers and he signs out for 2014 with this cracker. Available for free download at his soundcloud page.

And a merry Christmas to you all from the IBWM team.
