When it's grey as you leave the house in the morning & greyer on your return at night, you know what time of year it is! Something our mates over the pond call 'The Holidays' but for us Brits, trapped under a tupperware sky barely lit with crappy council Christmas lights, it's those few glorious festive months that come like a sister to summer. That magical time when it's ok to eat & drink big & listen to big tunes with your big crew getting your big swerve on, all in the face of illogical social norms like 'work', 'time' or 'weekdays'. Ah, Nov/Dec/Jan... It's a very, very, very wild lifestyle. When you call on the photocopier to 'hail the rewind' or tell Mr Fedex that the 'stakes is high' and to ' deal with the matter'. When champagne Thursday becomes the shining beacon of hope that pulls you on through from hump day Wednesday to another Jäger chasing warm whiskey weekender. But we wouldn't want the music to run dry, even if your booze cupboard does (especially with the impending doom of endless reduxed carols & chart toppers all making you want to stab your face with the nearest jingle bell). So here's a little Nextmen podcast episode to tide you over for the next few rounds (at least)…

Catch us as the Good Times NYE – 31st December 2011 @ Battersea Arts Centre, London.
