Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir - Christmas Joy
Best Christmas song I’ve heard this year (avoid if you don’t like ridiculously upbeat gospel or don’t have a soft spot for High School Musical).
Merry Christmas!
It’s that time of year again. Here’s my Christmas single straight outta 2006. Download it for free on Bandcamp.
New stuff in the shop (plus Christmas cards and a discount code!)
Hi team. I just got back from China and I’ve added some new bits to the shop.
Firstly, and most importantly, I was able to bring a few copies of my Chinese Greatest Hits CD back to the UK! The CD is a 19-track behemoth featuring all my ‘hits’ and a few cheeky rarities. This would make the perfect Christmas gift for a cherished one, because 1) it’s the perfect introduction to my music, and 2) the cover is red and Christmas is all about red stuff. Obviously. But I couldn’t fit many in my suitcase so act fast if you want to get one!
Secondly, I had some t-shirts printed exclusively for China and I’ve added those that were left over to the shop. Design duties were handled by the ever-wonderful Matt Withers.
Finally, because I’m starting to feel festive…
- all orders from now until Christmas Eve will come with a Christmas card from me to you (or if your purchase is a gift, just write a note at checkout and I’ll address it to your cherished friend instead)!
- AND (from now until Christmas Eve) get 15% off all of my t-shirts if you enter the code ‘BRUCEWILLIS’ at checkout (because Bruce and the Die Hard films, after Jesus, embody Christmas for me)
What are you waiting for? Hit the shop!
Yours festively,
Luke
P.S. If for some reason you’ve never heard my 2006 Christmas single ‘I’m So Confused by Christmas’, you can download it for free on Bandcamp. It features sleigh bells, a ‘rap’ and two key changes.
P.P.S. In case you missed it - shop.gotgotneedrecords.com.
I finally got around to making a little video with the footage from my Christmas Living Room (and other places) Tour in December 2010. I edited the whole thing using a free app on the iPhone called Splice which is pretty nifty, right? Anyway, enjoy!
You can read the tour blog here and see the tour photos by Tom Price on Flickr.
Sorry for not keeping you up to date, Tumblr-ers. There are new wordy tour blog posts up on Punktastic and new tour photos up on Facebook. So now you know.
The photo above is the crowd at Henry’s house in Middlesbrough showing off their deadpan look. They did so well.

My Christmas Living Room (and other places) Tour 2010 is well and truly on.
Keep up with the tour blog on Punktastic and see a selection of photos by Tom Price on my Facebook page. We’re having a WILD TIME.
Catch ya later, Norwich!
I received this email yesterday from Tom Price, my tour photographer (tourtographer?) Expect advent readings and a carol or two at my living room gigs over the next couple of weeks.
For more gold from Tom, do follow him on Twitter and Tumblr. He is a permanent blinding ray of the most brilliant sunshine in my otherwise mundane life.
My Christmas living room tour kicks off in five days! The weather’s not looking great but rest assured I’ll be putting chains on the wheels and attaching a snow plow thing to the front of my car before I cancel any shows - the weather is no match for me.
This is just a quick note to say that the following fine online publications have kindly written about the upcoming tour, and you can have a read if you like:
Punktastic | Alter the Press | M-Magazine
Also, the wonderful people at SoundCloud have started a Christmas group where you can hear lots of festive tracks including my very own I’m So Confused by Christmas.
And finally, as mentioned yesterday on my blog, if you buy a LL CD or t-shirt from me before Christmas then I will send you a personalised handmade Christmas card, fashioned by my very own fingers. Read more about that here or place an order here.
L8RZ.
