'tis the season, peoples! As perhaps only Santa and a few others know, I've been trying to be a good do-bee the past couple of years, attempting to cook up a new Christmas/ seasonal hit for when the holly jolly time rolls 'round. There's indeed a new one in the hopper for 2011, thanks to Elf Mikey's help over Thanksgiving at Harpswell Holler, but we've since hit a few snags on the production line. There's no telling if I'll manage to get that new product under your tree by Flying Baby J Time on Sunday but in the meantime, you can reheat these classics in your microwave.
"Christmas Parties" needs a bit of cleaning up, and somehow this version's missing a verse, but I'm proud of my little Yuletide kiss-off, and that's Roady on the drums. It's the kind of song you could only write on a Wurlitzer electronic piano--- a lil' nugget of heartbreak, bitterness and ill will with that gooey heart of sentimentality that you love (or hate). "Everyday Christmas" is really more of a Christmas-in-July thing, but it does have plenty of the C-word in it, two drumsets, a dinger-bonker and all my other usual slatherings, in tribute to Phil Spector and Brian Wilson. "Ho!" thyself up and "Ho!" it back down again!
And of course if anybody needs holiday cocktail recommmendations, our HelpLine is always open!
