Like many others at Last.fm, I’ve left the warm, ball-filled embrace of Last.HQ in London and headed home to my family for the holidays.
Since arriving in my arctic homeland, I’ve been wondering if there was a way to shake up the old routine of tired holiday carols, marathon dinners, moose racing, and rambling uncles; a way to bring a bit of the ol’ Last.fm magic home. (Christmas tag radio notwithstanding.) And that’s when I hit upon THE ULTIMATE PLAN. Better yet, you can reproduce this party in the comfort of your own home!
What You’ll Need
- An internet connection
- A computer that can be plugged into a large set of speakers
- A house full of relatives (including but not limited to parents, sisters, second cousins, and loud uncles) who secretly want to party
What To Do
- Wait until dinner has ended and holiday drink consumption is in full effect
- Go to the room with the speakers and clear away any rugs, Christmas trees, babies, lebkuchen, or anything else which might impede dancing madness
- Load this page to queue up an hour and a half of the finest old-school rock and roll, direct from our recent party in London
- HIT PLAY AND TURN IT UP!
It can’t fail, especially if you have relatives that grew up in the 1950s. Happy holidays everyone…

Only in Canadia could it be colder on a sunny day than a day when it’s snowing and cloudy:
Wednesday – Chance of flurries – High -8°C
Thursday – Sunny – High -12°C
Such an odd country you come from Mr Ogle. =P
