At what time is it acceptable to play holiday music? I don't mean in stores and such because that battle has been lost. I just mean of your own volition.
And drop your lists of course.

3. The more famous, and occasionally parodized part. Someone needs to remix this recently re-recorded Yoko Ono song in this style:
The original is in a reggae style fitting the production by Bill Laswell and Sly & Robbie... and wow that is not good. Poor match of vocalist and production. (Remember: Yoko Ono is AMR's favorite Beatle.)
T. Cover of the Linked Horizon song "Jiyū no Tsubasa", season 2 (or 1b?) opening theme from Attack on Titan
E. Cover of Elite Gymnastics on Elite Gymnastics's "Remix Album". IIRC, RUIN 3 was an EP-length version containing some of these remixes (but it's not on Discogs). There's also RUIN which is the vinyl pressing of the EPs RUIN 1 and RUIN 2 each on one side. They had previously been digitally issued separately.

December 1st. I like a decent interval between Thanksgiving & Christmastime, much like I enjoy that interval between a big, satisfying holiday meal and dessert/coffee/liquor. There’s residual pleasure in the Thanksgiving afterglow that seems a shame to waste by immediately shifting into anticipation mode again.
this is fair. i'd say about the monday after thanksgiving. and mind you, i don't play much, but still definitely easing into it.
I play it on the 24th and 25th and that's about it.

Man, Willie's getting old. Immediately after I saw this I thought "I'll never get to see him live"
In case you were wondering, he's eighty-six.
damn it. that's tomorrow's video. well, i'm too lazy to change it, so...
You can play Christmas music starting the eve of the 24th.
You can play Advent music before that.
