Those who have been with us a while know that we don't do Christmas songs or albums. I may be seen as the biggest grouch, but we never have. I mention it now, because with the massive popularity of Listening To This Week this year, we have been inundated with Christmas IDHAS submissions and emails about potential Album Reviews.
Don't get me wrong, there are some great Christmas songs, some bitter, but most are not and are usually rhyming mistletoe with snow with a forced jolliness that becomes unbearable. We do listen to everything and if there is something that we particularly like, we will reply with a we don't do them message, but we love the song and if you have something more everyday, we'd love to hear it sort of thing.
The main reason though is that we set up I Don't Hear A Single, with particular concentration on Google Analytics, so that older reviews continually get read and listened to. You will have seen albums reviewed 6 or 7 years ago feature in our Top 10 most viewed monthly the Left Hand Side of the site. With this in mind, we don't see the point of any time spent on music that only interests people for 3 or 4 weeks a year.
