Christmas in the 80s

Christmas in the 80s: Indie tunes and daft chat for sleepy heads!

Chris helps warm-up the festive 6 Music listeners with musical treats from the likes of PJ Harvey, John Mouse and The Futureheads. This morning's 5.15 listener request comes in the shape & form of Arcade Fire. Lovely Dubai-based listener Nydia Bonilla picks a tune in Rings Around The World, TV's Hazel slams another door shut in Exit Music, and if you like useless bits of musical information then The Rockbook Files will fill you in on what happened on this day in history. There's also a 麻豆社 weather forecast from one of the forecasters off the telly - it really is a weather report like no other. Plus, Chris asks 'was Christmas better in the 80's?' Come and join the early morning family!
