Hello everyone,

Season's greeting to you all,

and hope you're getting over any pre-Christmas stress-out.

Here over at Tonka's Tryst, we're making decorations and painting things to stick up and tomorrow we'll buy a tree. All of the parents and some of the brothers and sisters are arriving in a couple of days for a feast and a drink and a concert and I'm beginning to feel confident that everything is in place.

If you're stuck for that elusive gift, there's still plenty on offer at the CUD shoppe; all the music is specially priced, and the Leggy Mambo vinyl record now comes with a digital download of the full extra-track-endowed CD release. There's also the BOBOB-themed CUD tote bag what Carl made.

Make sure you drop by in a week or so, because we'll be seeing CUD branded flourescent tea towels (don't ask!!) Though I don't know if you'll get them before Christmas. The new year will see an annotated digital release of ELVIS BELT; possibly retitled NOT AN ACTUAL ELVIS BELT to avoid confusion and possibly more kitchenalia, who knows?

Finally, We here at Tonka's Tryst and CUD wish to thank everyone who has bought CUD merchandise this and any year.

Every penny that we make from the Shoppe sales is kept for making new music. LOUISE and VICTORIA were entirely merch-funded and whatever we call the new records we hope to finish next year will also have been funded in this way. It seems a better way to go about it than crowdfunding or whatever internet thingie is around, and well, we think it's a good way.

So thank you everyone, and have a fabbo Christmas
