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!)

See you under the Micro Computer Mistletoe!

“In the year of our SID 2038, one spriteful eternal Monday morning, misty moon, bye bye!”
“The cats were calling, the leaves were falling.”
“An elderly crone, wrapped up in polystyrene foam,”
“Stirred, abound, the rooftops of Kilburn Town…”

Auntie Anna returns with the Anorak LIVE from Kilburn, London for 2.98  hours of retro micro computer comedy fun and owl based chat on SLAY Radio (the home of Commodore 64* remixes)

This week she brings you the choicest and most delectable new tunes, all of your online  requests, and the mystery Commodore User Top 20 Games of the Month, with an exclusive from the multi-talented Kate-Z, chat about upcoming events including the RCM gaming event, and also there’s damson jam if you want it. Beware the owls!

Anorak – you know it makes no sense!

* Commodore 64 = a home computer from the 1980/90′s which contains a most impressive sound chip

** SID = Sound Interface Device (the aforementioned most impressive sound chip and also shorthand for a tune prepared on the aforementioned Commodore 64)

*** this show contains singing and/or extra owls…
