Lovely festive cover from Farao, who takes on Walking in the Air. Have a listen below, and come and see her next year at the Waiting Room in London.

James Yorkston Christmas Show
James Yorkston is the Eat Your Own Ears version of Father Christmas. This Thursday sees the return of his annual Christmas show – again at Union Chapel. We must have been very good this year, because Yorkston brings Mogwai man Stuart Braithwaite along for the show this time. Watch an excellent video from Domino of the Yorkston/Christmas show two years ago. Lovely, winter warming stuff.
Guide to… Stephen Malkmus
Our night in London with Stephen Malkmus & The Jicks is approaching deceptively fast (with Xmas propping up the middle). We spent the weekend listening back to some of his solo highlights (and of course some classic Pavement too) to pull together a ‘Guide to’ mix via the magic of Spotify.
Hear it below, and grab tickets for his January date here.
Eat Your Own Ears Top Albums of 2013

Stephen Malkmus & The Jicks – Cinnamon and Lesbians Video
Another great video from Stephen Malkmus and his Jicks, who are warming up to the release of Wig Out at the Jagbags (Out January 7th) with a quickness.
Malkmus & co are in town to play for us on January 16th at The Forum, a show which kickstarts our 2014 calendar with aplomb. Grab tickets for that here.
