Tomorrow is Winter Solstice/Yule. Friday was Islamic New Year. We've just had Hannukah. Christmas is next week. It's all go on the winter festival front, probably because it is the end of December. This pleases me well, because I love this time of year. It is my favourite weather, too: SNOW!! I love snow. I spurn everyone who isn't, because it's amazing. I could wank on and on about snow forever. There's pictures of the snow tank I made on my Flickr. But I digress.
This post is to share with you a little bit of festive music! And a non-festive music, too, but I've been listening to it a lot, so you get it in the mix, because I am a generous god.
Have you heard of the
H.P. Lovecraft Historical Society? Among lots of other cool things, they make music! Lovecraftian filk, to be precise. I get out the Scary Solstice CDs every year, and this year, I actually bought copies, as opposed to listening to lolpiracy, and I got SONGBOOKS and a TENTACLE STOCKING. How cool is that? Anyway, here's two tracks from them:
Death To The WorldDeath May DieThey have sillier things, but these ones make me grin like a fool, so you get those.
This next thing is my absolute 100% top favourite Christmas song ever. It's a version of O Holy Night that simply should not be. The story goes that it's a legitimate audition tape from a guy who wanted to do Christian music fo' srs. It's
absolutely terrible. It's one of those amazing things that, just when you think it can't get worse, IT DOES. By a lot. I love it. Every time I listen to it, I practically cough up my lungs laughing. It never fails to get me proper Christmassy in double-quick time. :D
O Holy Shit NightNow, the next thing isn't to do with Christmas or Winter at all. It's a parody of Lady Gaga's
Pokerface, but about a typeface called Neutra.
It has a video here, featuring some very attractive bearded nerdy boys with a passion for graphic design. For bonus awesome, check out the
other things they do! They're very talented. :) So here it is, then:
NeutrafaceThat's it from me. Art continues apace, as always; loads of projects still chugging along because I never stop, and if you've participated in Project Motherfucking Christmas Card Marathon on Twitter/flocked IJ, please let me know if/when you get your card!
NOW GO AND ENJOY THE FUCKING SNOW.
PS.
Where The Wild Things Are is amazing. I'm going to see
Avatar tomorrow. I expect that'll make me cry, too. Monsterrrrssss<3
