"content": "\u003cp>It is 1997, I am 13 years old, and I have the house to myself.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is a situation people relish at any age -- but when you are 13 years old and confused all the time and spend most of your days in seemingly vacuum-sealed rooms, occupying a series of plastic chairs lined up next to other plastic chairs containing other 13-year-olds who are seething with tumultuous home lives and hormones and unfortunate harbingers of facial hair, a house to yourself is a kingdom. It is possibility.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I already know about music as an escape hatch: I have my stereo in my room, and my mixtapes made off local alt-rock radio stations, and the East Bay punk bands in whom I have such incredibly fierce pride that I hope it helps cover for the fact that I am not actually drinking forties down by the BART tracks with safety pins on my clothes; I am home doing my homework, for now, at least.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If I've realized that music can be a tunnel out, though, I am still learning its dimensions -- how far back this goes, how far off it can take you, how long other people have known about this -- and I am doing that by going through my parents' records. They are vaguely alphabetized. Joe Jackson, Janis Joplin, The Kinks, Carole King.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>My first real encounter with David Bowie is this: I take \u003cem>Hunky Dory \u003c/em>off\u003cem> \u003c/em>the shelf, consider its weathered exterior, pull the record from its sleeve, and place it on the turntable. Then I sit cross-legged on the couch -- between the two speakers, enveloped by sound -- and listen with what feels like every pore on my body.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dgQHZjAafo4\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I am now in my thirties, and I have known for some time now, while also knowing this is a fantastically unreasonable standard, that all I want from music -- from any art, really -- is for it to make me feel the way I felt the first time I heard the first chorus of \"Oh! You Pretty Things.\" The overwhelming, visceral thrill of it: the moment the strings and bass knock your feet out from under you, the seconds-long swoop of going upside down on a rollercoaster -- and when the chorus is over, the awareness that your ear is straining for it to come around again, but also that the anticipation is half the fun. That something with no measurable or useful effect on your body has seemingly rewired your brain to make you crave it; that you are now a junkie; that because of sounds recorded in 1971, you just went \u003cem>somewhere else entirely\u003c/em> while sitting in your parents' living room in 1997. The slow realization that music maybe isn't a secret escape hatch, but rather a vast entry portal hiding in plain sight, and what's on the other side is maybe much, much bigger than you ever imagined.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Look, I know that writing about a David Bowie memory right now is self-indulgent. It feels gross, and it feels like not enough, and it would feel that way if I spent the next five years writing it, which I could very easily do. There's no way around this inadequacy: I could choose to put on my objective critic's hat and focus on how forward-thinking he always was; how tremendously gratifying it is that mainstream pop music was ever this deeply queer and challenging, and offer a hope that we ever get there again.

You Pretty Things.\" The overwhelming, visceral thrill of it: the moment the strings and bass knock your feet out from under you, the seconds-long swoop of going upside down on a rollercoaster -- and when the chorus is over, the awareness that your ear is straining for it to come around again, but also that the anticipation is half the fun. That something with no measurable or useful effect on your body has seemingly rewired your brain to make you crave it; that you are now a junkie; that because of sounds recorded in 1971, you just went \u003cem>somewhere else entirely\u003c/em> while sitting in your parents' living room in 1997. The slow realization that music maybe isn't a secret escape hatch, but rather a vast entry portal hiding in plain sight, and what's on the other side is maybe much, much bigger than you ever imagined.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Look, I know that writing about a David Bowie memory right now is self-indulgent. It feels gross, and it feels like not enough, and it would feel that way if I spent the next five years writing it, which I could very easily do. There's no way around this inadequacy: I could choose to put on my objective critic's hat and focus on how forward-thinking he always was; how tremendously gratifying it is that mainstream pop music was ever this deeply queer and challenging, and offer a hope that we ever get there again. I could say David Bowie's work is what all art should strive to be: a mirror, a warm blanket, a firepoker. And that even his death -- his just-released record, a final act of \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kszLwBaC4Sw\" target=\"_blank\">perfectly timed theater\u003c/a>, so Bowie-esque you want to punch the guy -- should serve as an inspiration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I could declare, correctly, that because I'm a heterosexual white girl he meant different things to me than he did to other people, people who saw themselves reflected in him for the first time, in real and irreplaceable ways.

Unlike other recent instances of illegal sidewalk advertising that was chalk-based, according to Herrera’s letter, the Bieber-related graffiti appears to have been applied with permanent spray paint. Such defiant guerrilla marketing tactics have become an increasingly unwelcome sight to many San Francisco residents, according to their reactions on social media, in published news accounts, and in complaints to City officials.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“....This prohibited marketing practice illegally exploits our City’s walkable neighborhoods and robust tourism; intentionally creates visual distractions that pose risks to pedestrians on busy rights of way; and irresponsibly tells our youth that likeminded lawlessness and contempt for public property are condoned and encouraged by its beneficiaries—including Mr. Bieber and the record labels that produce and promote him.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The letter does not, unfortunately, address how criminally sad it is for a major corporate media conglomerate to attempt to ply consumers into associating a mainstream-in-every-sense-of-the-term pop star with subversive \"street\" values, but perhaps that goes unspoken? Herrera does add that he has successfully fought back against \"virtually identical\" infractions from \"IBM, NBC Universal, Turner Broadcasting and Zynga\" over the past 15 years.

The Great Bieber Rebrand of 2015 will likely be studied by breathless PR apprentices for years to come, as well it should be.

Unlike other recent instances of illegal sidewalk advertising that was chalk-based, according to Herrera’s letter, the Bieber-related graffiti appears to have been applied with permanent spray paint. Such defiant guerrilla marketing tactics have become an increasingly unwelcome sight to many San Francisco residents, according to their reactions on social media, in published news accounts, and in complaints to City officials.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“....This prohibited marketing practice illegally exploits our City’s walkable neighborhoods and robust tourism; intentionally creates visual distractions that pose risks to pedestrians on busy rights of way; and irresponsibly tells our youth that likeminded lawlessness and contempt for public property are condoned and encouraged by its beneficiaries—including Mr. Bieber and the record labels that produce and promote him.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The letter does not, unfortunately, address how criminally sad it is for a major corporate media conglomerate to attempt to ply consumers into associating a mainstream-in-every-sense-of-the-term pop star with subversive \"street\" values, but perhaps that goes unspoken? Herrera does add that he has successfully fought back against \"virtually identical\" infractions from \"IBM, NBC Universal, Turner Broadcasting and Zynga\" over the past 15 years. Those actions did not, you will note, make for such fun headlines.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

And nowhere are these divisions more irreconcilable than in what constitutes holiday music.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It seems to me, America, that your holiday music falls into two camps: it's either 1950s crooning (Nat King Cole, Bing Crosby, et al.) or '90s R 'n' B-inflected \"jingle bell\" pop. But British Christmas music? Our golden age was the 1970s through the mid '80s, and despite the brave efforts of many recording artists since, we're sticking with it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While some of the UK's finest festive cuts -- Wham's \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E8gmARGvPlI\" target=\"_blank\">\"Last Christmas\"\u003c/a>, Paul McCartney's \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V9BZDpni56Y\" target=\"_blank\">\"Wonderful Christmastime\"\u003c/a>, Band Aid's \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bjQzJAKxTrE\" target=\"_blank\">\"Do They Know It's Christmas\"\u003c/a> -- \u003cem>have\u003c/em> made the journey across the Atlantic, I'm really not sure you all know how weird and wonderful the rest of the stuff my countrymen love to listen to in December really is. So, from glam rockers to dead snowmen and alien angels, here's a selection of our most beloved, bizarre curiosities for the festive season. Enjoy!\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4 style=\"text-align: center\">Jona Lewie - \"Stop the Cavalry\"\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2HkJHApgKqw\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Discovering that none of my U.S. friends (I have some) had even \u003cem>heard\u003c/em> of \"Stop the Cavalry\" was my rude awakening to the dearth of British holiday music on these shores . Legend holds that singer Jona Lewie never intended this anti-war anthem to be a holiday song, but its fate was sealed by sleigh bells, brass band interlude, lyrics about being \"home for Christmas\" and the fact he, uh, released it in December. Whatever the truth, it's a stone-cold classic with a cracking video of the kind they really don't make any more (i.e. set in the trenches of WWI).\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4 style=\"text-align: center\">Wizzard - \"I Wish It Could be Christmas Every Day\"\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IM_H4CAAYxc\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Just the cash-register sound at the start of this song by Birmingham glam rock outfit Wizzard is enough to make your average Brit start necking mulled wine, like a festive Pavlov's dog. \"I Wish it Could Be Christmas Everyday\" is so deeply embedded in our collective Christmas psyche that the usual rational observations like \"this sounds dreadful\" or \"why does the school choir in the middle sound so Satanic?\" don't really apply; they'd be akin to suddenly quibbling about the color choices in the Union Jack flag. Fact: the nightmarish video \u003ca href=\"http://www.theguardian.com/music/musicblog/2011/dec/20/wizzard-christmas-every-day-rocks-backpages\" target=\"_blank\">was filmed in the height of summer\u003c/a>, which is probably why those kids look so miserable.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4 style=\"text-align: center\">Slade - \"Merry Xmas Everybody\"\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=apoFZv5J6xo\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A.k.a. the other aggressor in the Great Christmas Wars of 1973. Slade is the \u003cem>other\u003c/em> Birmingham glam rock band that beat Wizzard (above) to the coveted Christmas Number One spot in the U.K. charts that year, which doesn't necessarily mean it's any \u003cem>better\u003c/em> per se (remember, concepts like \"quality\" lose all meaning here). That said, \"Merry Xmas Everyone\" still gets my seasonal vote -- it's more anthemic and lovable than its rival, and just makes me think of pogo-ing up and down at one of the many village Christmas discos that marred/enriched my childhood. Plus, how can you not love a band with a lead singer called Noddy Holder?\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4 style=\"text-align: center\">\"Walking in the Air\" from \u003cem>The Snowman\u003c/em>\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eu-LIjg_S7Y\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When it comes to beloved kids' holiday animations, America has \u003cem>A Charlie Brown Christmas\u003c/em> but Britain has \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3dYQNAl48E0\" target=\"_blank\">The Snowman\u003c/a>\u003c/em>: the wordless 1982 classic about friendship, imagination and awaking on Christmas morning to discover that -- SPOILER -- your snowman pal has died with the morning sun. (My own grandmother still loves to tell everyone how my five-year-old self, having just watched the devastating ending for the first time, tearfully proclaimed \"Isn't it bloody awful?\" to anybody who'd listen. #BritishChildhood.) \"Walking in the Air\u003cem>\"\u003c/em> is the film's big show-stopper, and was even later \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-bpezye4xq0\" target=\"_blank\">released as a single in 1985\u003c/a> by a pubescent Welsh cherub called Aled Jones who, somewhat reassuringly, is still famous today (#UKCelebrities).\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4 style=\"text-align: center\">Chris de Burgh - \"A Spaceman Came Traveling\"\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GmZg7tvGN9o\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This song would be bizarre even if it wasn't a holiday tune -- as a Christmas anthem, it's downright bonkers. It's basically the musical equivalent of \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://www.history.com/shows/ancient-aliens\" target=\"_blank\">Ancient Aliens\u003c/a>\u003c/em>, with crooner Chris de Burgh (of \"Lady in Red\" fame, for it is he) re-telling the Nativity Story through a tin-foil lens, with the angel Gabriel as a friendly extra-terrestrial visiting Earth to herald the birth of Jesus. But who doesn't love a good hands-in-the-air \"La La La\" chorus? On a personal note, I always seem to be slightly drunk on festive sherry whenever I'm listening to this song, which I'd strongly recommend.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4 style=\"text-align: center\">Mike Oldfield - \"In Dulce Jubilo\"\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eIUlEUWKloM\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yes, this is Mike Oldfield of Tubular Bells (i.e. \"that music from \u003cem>The Exorcist\u003c/em>) fame, providing the long-awaited meeting of Renaissance flutes and electric guitars. This delightful instrumental number is what the word \"jaunty\" was invented for -- and British or not, it will make you feel as festive as a snow-dusted robin wearing a holiday sweater on top of a Christmas tree.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4 style=\"text-align: center\">E17 - \"Stay Another Day\"\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0mg7ok8dmDU\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As an example of those otherwise-summery songs that have clearly been drowned in sleigh bells and celestial choirs to hastily meet the Christmas release schedule, this slice of 1994 is one of the most obvious -- and all the more glorious for it. The song itself is piano-heavy nonsense, but the video is the real seasonal gift here: four mortified-looking Londoners with precision facial hair and gigantic winter jackets making endless \"soulful\" hand gestures, in what looks like the classic Windows 95 \"Starfield\" screensaver. As iconic as it is, my abiding memory of this song will always be of a girl in my middle school music class becoming incoherent with genuinely disbelieving rage when told that no, she could not choose this song as her \"Christmas carol\" for the holiday performance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Listen to the author of this article share these weird holiday imports with her podcast co-hosts on \u003c/em>The Cooler\u003cem>:\u003cbr>\n\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe width=\"100%\" height=\"166\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"no\" src=\"https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/238598315&color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\n",

And nowhere are these divisions more irreconcilable than in what constitutes holiday music.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It seems to me, America, that your holiday music falls into two camps: it's either 1950s crooning (Nat King Cole, Bing Crosby, et al.) or '90s R 'n' B-inflected \"jingle bell\" pop. But British Christmas music? Our golden age was the 1970s through the mid '80s, and despite the brave efforts of many recording artists since, we're sticking with it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While some of the UK's finest festive cuts -- Wham's \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E8gmARGvPlI\" target=\"_blank\">\"Last Christmas\"\u003c/a>, Paul McCartney's \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V9BZDpni56Y\" target=\"_blank\">\"Wonderful Christmastime\"\u003c/a>, Band Aid's \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bjQzJAKxTrE\" target=\"_blank\">\"Do They Know It's Christmas\"\u003c/a> -- \u003cem>have\u003c/em> made the journey across the Atlantic, I'm really not sure you all know how weird and wonderful the rest of the stuff my countrymen love to listen to in December really is.

Legend holds that singer Jona Lewie never intended this anti-war anthem to be a holiday song, but its fate was sealed by sleigh bells, brass band interlude, lyrics about being \"home for Christmas\" and the fact he, uh, released it in December.

Fact: the nightmarish video \u003ca href=\"http://www.theguardian.com/music/musicblog/2011/dec/20/wizzard-christmas-every-day-rocks-backpages\" target=\"_blank\">was filmed in the height of summer\u003c/a>, which is probably why those kids look so miserable.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4 style=\"text-align: center\">Slade - \"Merry Xmas Everybody\"\u003c/h4>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/apoFZv5J6xo'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/apoFZv5J6xo'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>A.k.a. the other aggressor in the Great Christmas Wars of 1973.
