10 JUL 2026 - Back up to full speed! Let's be honest: for the last few months, TorrentFunk was painfully slow. Pages crawled, searches dragged, and just loading the site tested everyone's patience. We hunted the problem down to our network and rebuilt it from the ground up — smarter caching, a much bigger and faster connection, and a lot of fine-tuning under the hood. The difference is night and day: the site now loads in a fraction of a second. No more waiting around. Thanks for sticking with us through the slow spell. Now go discover your funk!
This hall-decking edition of Rhino's Eighties new wave compilation series is full of fun, quirky alt-pop nicely divided between oddball U.K. Christmas singles and college-radio novelties perfect for that last show you do before winter break. The album has
two sad, snow-covered romantic masterpieces (the Pogues and Kristy MacCall's
"Fairytale of New York" and the Pretenders' "2000 Miles"), some jangly adorability
(Matthew Sweet and the Buzz of Delight's "Christmas" and Chris Stamey Group's
"Christmas Time") and nerdy comedy gold (Kris Kringle is a girlfriend-stealing
skeezer on They Might Be Giants' "Santa's Beard"). You can judge the staying power of David Bowie and Bing Crosby's legendarily bizarre "Peace On Earth/Little Drummer Boy" for yourself, but don't sleep on Captain Sensible's minor 1984 U.K.
hit "One Christmas Catalogue," a sublime synth-rock evocation of all the ways we
use the holiday to mark time – for better or worse.
