What's that jingling noise? It's the most wonderful sound of Christmas: Mariah Carey's wheelbarrow of cash, filled to the brim with festive royalties. This week, on TPOM, Stu 'n' Joe gaze into their festival crystal bauble and...

US hard rock band Trapt had a barney with their support bands, allegedly cutting their sets short so that Trapt (allegedly) could get into bed nice and early. But which side does Stu and Joe sympathise with?
