In Stephen Jones and his alter egos, I have found a balm, a tonic that sees off the spiritual weariness and depression of a ruined idealism. Mr. Jones is a light in the darkness for all of us in that he hates the world just a little bit more than we do. shanghaicam

Corona Christmas
by babybird

supported by 107 fans who also own “I WAS BORN A MAN - PLUS”

How do you do it, Stephen? Another soul saving album just in time for Christmas and with the right kind of vibes, there isn’t a single step gone wrong here and I love the irony in the lyrics juxtaposed against the beautiful music, typical Babybird! While Corona Christmas is an absolute favourite, ‘another toxic family Christmas’ is my favourite because this is typical Babybird: you must listen to the lyrics before getting too comfortable with the music! Awesome album, Merry Christmas! Samrat Mitra
