Features: Dear Santa: Part Two
More Christmas wish lists from the world of rock and roll as members of 30 Seconds To Mars, The Thermals and more ask Santa...
What do your favourite rockers want for Christmas? Rock Sound intercepted some mail recently and found out...
Dear Santa,
I would like a deerskin rug and a copy of The Deer Hunter. Maybe one of those little elf / slave lads as well…
Rich Fownes (Bad For Lazarus)
Dear Santa,
I would like…
1. An airship, for touring with minimal environmental impact and maximum comfort.
2. Every episode of The Larry Sanders Show on DVD.
3. Reality TV to be outlawed worldwide.
4. Five thousand teabags containing 75% Assam and 25% Earl Grey, by weight.
Sam Healy (North Atlantic Oscillation)
Dear Santa,
Please make us huge in the UK because we’ve been very good little girls and boys. We’ve come to visit hundreds of times over the past six years, and we’ve been on our best behaviour – maybe too much so! Maybe we need to be more naughty? We can throw ourselves on dinner tables like Ryan Jarman, or have sex in the bushes like George Michael, or even get a heavy drug habit like Amy Winehouse? Just let us know, we’ll do anything! Thank you, Santa!
Kathy Foster (The Thermals)
Dear Santa,
I would like a shire horse for Christmas, then I can finally enter the gymkhana and give up music, or at the very least gallop onto stage. A medieval broadsword would be good too.
Rory Attwell (KASMs)
Dear Santa,
I hope this isn’t too taxing….
Firstly, I think we all know I’m going to need some more Talent this year. I misplaced the bottle you gave me in 93 and have been searching ever since. You’d better make it a large one as well.
Secondly, I need an army of half-badger / half-fish people, for my own undisclosed reasons.
Next, as much as I adore raking off my own facial features in an attempt to hide myself from its undying evilness, I’m going to have to request that you fatally injure anyone directly or partially involved with The X Factor.
My fourth request involves a little bit of magic surgery on your part. In these times of political madness and popularised banality, I find I just don’t have the time or the brain capacity to scour as many of these issues with the scathing sarcasm I would so dearly love to. Therein, I ask that you make me able to dislike a greater quantity of stuff, and to be able to do so more efficiently.
And lastly, I’d better have something selfless and socially beneficial, I guess. Erm… rid the world of Peter Jones?
Rob Vicars (Lavondyss)
Dear Santa,
This year I have been a very good boy and would really love for you to come and visit me – I will leave you some brandy and some carrots for your reindeers! I’d really like the new Action Man that comes with a jeep and helicopter, some military muscle men, biker mice from mars (full set) and I would love a N64 with Mario Kart and Golden Eye. One more thing, I’d love for someone to take my band on tour. Thanks Santa! You’re the best.
Jack Hughes (Dividing The Line)
Dear Santa,
I want everyone to have a great time and to be happy!
Jared Leto (30 Seconds To Mars)
