Following on from last years Christmas Special Jayde & Westie return to play Russian Roulette with a pile of cds!

Last year we pulled the trigger and had a Metal Hammer CD fired at our eardrums so that left 5 CD's in the chamber (Radio Kerrang Volume 1, Mojo's Blue Christmas, X-Ray volume 11, & Rock Sound Music With Attitude 32) and allowed fate to choose which one we were going to talk about. If you want to keep it as a surprise don't read any further and just listen!
