Anorak with Tinsel - The 12 Days of SIDmas 19/12/2011

“Christmas in Kilburn”
“Crisp, the snow fell softly, wistfully dancing across her wise and wizened creature features…”

Join Anna under the the Micro Computer Mistletoe LIVE from sleety Kilburn, London for a very very jolly festive edition of the Anorak on SLAY Radio. As a special “treat” Anna again “performs” the “12 Days of SIDmas” – counting up and down original SID* music from the Commodore 64 in a Tinselesque styleé building to a veritable orgasmic extravaganza of retro sound and Christmas.

You receive all of this Christmasnessiness free and full frontal in your earlobes despite someone stealing her Christmas tree! If that last sentence was not exciting enough there is also a jolly nice little Christmas tune from Kate-Z, over 3 hrs of amazing music, jolly chit chat, and hundreds of your Chrismassy requests! :D

(Beware! This show contains singing which may test the boundaries of human knee convection)

Happy Christmas everyone! Catch you in the New Year!

Anna x

(*SID = Sound Interface Device being the music chip in the Commodore 64 home computer and popular term for music compositions and files derived from aforementioned SID Chip)

When the latest Retro Gamer dropped through my lettuce box I thought I’d seen *quick rummage in magazine collection* the cover before :D

So here’s CRASH Magazine Christmas 1985 and Retro Gamer Issue 97 side by side!

So, how about a spot the difference competition? Highest spotter of differences gets a huge mention in the Anorak Christmas Show!

(*please also see last years 12 days of SIDmas spectacular!)

Tweet me on Twitter! @annabeep

See you under the Micro Computer Mistletoe!

Anna x
