It's the last shopping Saturday before Christmas, so time for a Blagg GOFGOF (Get one free, Get one free) of sorts.
This Calendar window comes courtesy of WesHam - not a typo, his name really is Wesley Ham - but better known to most of us as @CouchPotato, who suggested this excellent track from Taylor Momson's 'Pretty Reckless Christmas'. The album/EP is only seven tracks long, but every one is a little gem.
Couchy, as I like to call him, tells me that Momson played Cindy Lou Who in Jim Carrey's 'Dr Seuss' How The Grinch Stole Christmas' movie back in 2000, and I'll have to take him at his word as I've not seen it (Though I do have a pair of Grinch socks).
The now 32-year-old Momson accompanies her 7-year-old self for the first part of the song, then rocks out with her Pretty Reckless band before, at least on the video, returning to a voice and piano version. If you're listening to the EP on the Spotify link though, the two versions appear as the opening and closing tracks.
Got that? I will be asking questions on Boxing Day, you know.
😆 my last name isn't actually Ham but is food and drink related; it's Winegarden.
ReplyDeleteWeirdly one of the first things my now wife said to me was; "seriously, your mum named you Wesley Winegarden"
She was even more shocked to find out that I wasn't the first... My Grandfather is also called Wesley
