Real Christmas Music!

It is Christmas eve’s eve here in wonderfully dry Murphy, Texas. The empty streets are just bustling with dreary gray-ness… FLAT, its so very flat, that after every few houses it gives the illusion that the world just ends, and any green is just unwelcome.  A pleasant drive on the “President George Bush Highway” will show you just how incredibly big something can be. I encourage everyone within a five-foot radius of any tree grant it a hug, you may just want to cry because they just rule. Oh! On the subject of trees, yesterday I went to see Avatar…in 3d…in Imax 3d. Anyway, I guess that movie made me even more bias toward trees. But come on, can you really hate a tree? I challenge someone to.  If you walk by a tree, one of the branches picks all of your pockets and then purposefully self combusts near you, then you can hate it with good reason.

quote of the day (5 seconds ago): “This water tastes of the stalk of a brocolli”

Tangent finished: Christmas music.

I have grown sick of many christmas classics. They can be alright, but after hearing too many variations of one song…aaggh.

So I have comprised a list of feel good christmas music, chances are you will like it as long as you are not especially christian. (which interferes with the whole “Christmas” theme of course)

10. Gut Feeling/Slap Your Mammy – Devo

9.  Young Americans – David Bowie

8. Tales of Brave Ulysses – Cream

7. God Save the Queen – Sex Pistols

6. White Room – Cream

5. Spiral Architect – Black Sabbath

4. Trust – Megadeth

3. Fairies Wear Boots – Black Sabbath

2. Battle of Evermore – Led Zeppelin (listen through, starts quite slow)

1. Symptom of the Universe – Black Sabbath

All of these songs are very easy listening; at least to me.

Give it a try against traditional holiday tunes, theses are all superb songs.

Listen to the end: especially number 9 and 10

Happy Winter Days!

(feel free to add any music you think is great for winter, or any at all)

(all of these songs have amazing solos btw)

(And! The poll below is one I created, not some ad, so dont worry I guess)

  1. yeah so my brother has a cd of something called “faultline, and it has a bunch of guest singers. One is called “Greenfields” and its michael stipe (REM) and it could definitely be a christmas song i think.

  2. I agree with the list completely.
