You are all alone. You are not alone, but you’re ‘waiting for the day’, as The Beach Boys once sang, when it might be otherwise. You are surrounded, now cosseted, now buffeted by family and friends, surfeited on mince pies and chocolate boxes, and seeking the respite of music, or a selection sufficiently unfamiliar that it might shoo them away. Here is Culturedarm’s Christmas Playlist for 2015.
