Uncool Yule 2 – More Dud Xmas Discs

Dave Mulligan brings you an uncool yule when he returns with 3 great songs for the holiday season, or so he thinks.

Dave Mulligan is a 50s and 60s record collector, mainly 45s, and every year Maynard asks him to share a few that you don’t normally hear at this time of year. Or ever really.

Maynard and Dave Mulligan apologise and wish you a very Uncool Yule.

Uncool Yule – Dave’s Dud Xmas Discs

Prepare ye for an Uncool Yule with Dave’s Dud Xmas Discs, Dave Mulligan brings you a poorly thought out selection of Xmas goose that made the 50s, 60s & 70s what they are today.

These tracks will have you singing, dancing & maybe prancing. But you will feel the secret shame of Santa and wonder about the power of Xmas to compel this kind of music creation.

100% Xmas and 100% shameless, we love it.

Dave’s Dud Discs – 1 Rare Ungroovy

Dave Mulligan brought Dave’s Dud Discs into my life originally in 1986 on Radio Stupid, the Saturday morning show on 2SER-FM. “Rare ungroovy” would be the best way to explain the collection of over 10,000 7″ singles that are in Dave’s collection.

These segments are from the Triple J breakfast show 1988 & 1990 and you will hear these previously unheard discs from the 50s & 60s, perhaps for good reason.
