And though it's a Wednesday, I'm going to ask an FMD question. We're skipping a DJ for the holiday party this year. I'm just going to whip up a playlist instead. The WGOM made an Xmas mix awhile back (which is back up on the podcast feed btw), but instead of your favorite song, which Christmas song(s) do you think is an absolute banger? Fair warning, I'll likely steal your suggestions.
'fraid I save the bangers for New Year's, but here's a video I took of the StL Symphony's trombone section serenading us at the 2019 StL Low Brass Collective's holiday invitational concert. Gerry Pagano, the bass trombonist (beard) retired this year -- what a great ambassador
not my all time favorite but always felt this George Thorogood jam was pretty great
Without question for me:
Seconded
good one
So this is Christmas - John Lennon
Father Christmas - The Kinks
I won't post titles, but this list might generate some good songs too.
my all time favorite Christmas song
Absolute banger? Easy.
The entire Bad Religion christmas album is awesome
What about the Die Hard soundtrack?
I’m working on a new playlist for the holidays, which I’ve called “Grown Folk Christmas.” The intent is to collect songs that express the more complicated feelings and less festive themes that often come with the holidays. Here are a few examples:
John Prine - Christmas in Prison
Marvin Gaye - I Want to Come Home for Christmas
Aimee Mann - I Was Thinking I Could Clean Up for Christmas
The Temptations - Someday at Christmas
Merle Haggard - If We Make It Through December
Dwight Yoakam - Come On Christmas / Santa Can’t Stay
Low - Taking Down the Tree
Your nominations or suggestions are welcome.
Speaking of Hanukkah, major faux paux at trivia night last night.
Leader lady introduced a question that I heard as "Comic-Con, which starts this Friday, is also known as the Festival of?" And I, jokingly, yell out "Lights!"
Oops.
