...If you’ve heard the previous two South Park albums, especially the soundtrack for the movie, then you will then know that Matt Stone and Trey Parker can be a dab hand at coming up with twisted songs as well as animated shows. The third, and less well-known album came out with minimal fuss in the Christmas of 1999. Mr Hankey’s Christmas Classics is anything but the Christmas albums we are used to and this is no surprise considering who it’s by.

In 2000, following her first album, she released a Christmas album called 'My Kind Of Christmas'. Although it is now 7 years old, I only bought this last year...it was £5 in Virgin, bargain! The album contains a mixture of modern Christmas songs along with some familiar old Christmas songs that I am sure you will recognise! Christmas Time - This song has such a good beat to it, it...

...INTRO Why is it every Christmas I find myself getting a Frank Sinatra craze (am I the only one ?). Is it because Frank Sinatra is one of the best singers of all time or is it the fact I love to sing along with his catchy lyrics maybe so, but did you know that Frank Sinatra was once called quote: "The Voice" because there's never been a better voice for a microphone than his. As a big fan of Frank Sinatra I have more than a few of his CD's but there's only one that will always find its way to the top of the pile in my collection around this time of year,and that's the Frank Sinatra Christmas Album. FRANK SINATRA Real name Francis Albert Sinatra was born in 1915. He started out as a saloon singer and eventually became a member of a band called The Hoboken. In 1942 his real career started as he became a solo Singer who found fame... Read review
