WHERE MUSIC LISTENS TO YOU

Christmas tracks that don't suck #2 - Drink Up, Dad!

Posted over 2 years ago
I bought this Marshall Crenshaw boot off of Ebay. It annoyed me because several of the tracks, including this one, were present on the CD at too slow a speed. I fixed this with a sound editing program, though.My theme here: Christmas music sucks unless it is also GOOD music, worth listening to all year long. And this one always makes me smile. Loving Marshall Crenshaw helps, too.

  3. brand X says I wanted to share this on the CTTDS #1 post, but I kind of felt like I would be spoiling everyones good time. I'm not quite so worried about that on this post... Possibly the only christmas related song that I have that meets the criteria outlined in the first post. Although, I just might have to add Daddy's Drinkin Up...

  4. dermahrk says Fuck you Father Christmas - now THAT's the holiday spirit! Deadman, I considered what to use as my header on these. But I definitely wanted to avoid any of the PC generalities, and "Christmas" it's been since I was growing up, so I'm going with that, even though I took the Christ out a long, long time ago.

  5. deadmandeadman says There's no need to go to extremes Mark. Christ was an actual historical person. A philosopher, as I recall, and a fisherman. If I get time outta work /pay I'll celebrate Hillary's birthday! I feel so ambivilent when it comes to Christmas music though, being so theme oriented it does become more or less time specific. Having said that, I think I'll post an early Sunday cover. Don't miss it!

  11. Spike says That's a great song well sung. One gets wary of Xmas CDs because the recordings often are chosen for seasonality rather than musical beauty, plus they're usually all wholesome and cheery to the point of vomit-inducing.
