Cover of the Beach Boys song. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays everybody.

Candy Wine by elmer benson

elmer benson — Fri, 19 Dec 2014 08:22:03 -0800

A cover of a sad-ish, holiday-ish song I've always loved.

O Holy Night by chococat

chococat — Fri, 21 Dec 2012 19:57:41 -0800

Despite my lack of religion and the fact that this song has been done to death, I thought I'd give it a shot.

Tubular Carol of the Jingle Bells by unSane

unSane — Sat, 15 Dec 2012 08:27:29 -0800

Does just what it says on the box, and then some.

Christmas Island by chococat

chococat — Fri, 23 Dec 2011 20:53:12 -0800

I made my children to sing on another Christmas song. In three-part harmony. Merry Christmas, everybody.

Amazing Grace by TheCoug

TheCoug — Fri, 31 Dec 2010 11:13:09 -0800

Thought I'd jump in to the holiday spirit at the last second: Here is a version of Amazing Grace I did back in 2003 for guitar, 2 musical saws, and xylophone (the toy kind with wheels that you drag around by a string). Recorded into Cubase via the tiny microphone on my old 12" powerbook.

Auld Lang Syne by man vs sun

man vs sun — Fri, 31 Dec 2010 08:43:52 -0800

In keeping with tradition, here again are the Demons of Gyrophonia ringing in 2011 with the same old song.

Oh Come All Ye Slothful by cortex

cortex — Mon, 27 Dec 2010 10:37:13 -0800

A pragmatic carol for hungover sinners. Oh come let us eat breakast.

We Three Kings by askmeaboutLOOM

askmeaboutLOOM — Sat, 25 Dec 2010 19:49:17 -0800

And finally, The Christmas Album closes on a low note--literally, this time. After all, where's the fun in having a contrabassoon at your disposal if you're not going to do something wacky with it?* *Headphones recommended for maximum head-rattling

Deck the Halls by man vs sun

man vs sun — Sat, 25 Dec 2010 08:47:06 -0800

Hopefully your halls have already been decked.

Ukrainian Crab Carol (Shchedryk) by askmeaboutLOOM

askmeaboutLOOM — Fri, 24 Dec 2010 19:32:53 -0800

Alright, time to ruin Christmas with the gift of Crabtone.

Angels We Have Heard On High by man vs sun

man vs sun — Fri, 24 Dec 2010 07:33:55 -0800

More like Black Angels We Have Heard On High, amirite?

Coalstockings (Blacklung) by askmeaboutLOOM

askmeaboutLOOM — Thu, 23 Dec 2010 19:18:26 -0800

Now for, perhaps, the most abstract experiment on the album, and another test of our previously stated theory.

Mountain Instrument Medley by man vs sun

man vs sun — Thu, 23 Dec 2010 06:31:47 -0800

A swirling medley of carols from Cousin Jim's back porch.

Little Drummer Boy by roll truck roll

roll truck roll — Wed, 22 Dec 2010 22:51:26 -0800

roll truck roll on dulcimer, firemonkey on trumpet

Winter Wonderland by SamuraiCarChase

SamuraiCarChase — Wed, 22 Dec 2010 18:57:41 -0800

It's one of my least favorite christmas carols, so it seemed appropriate to tackle it instead of something that I cherish (and therefore wasn't willing to tamper with). Decided to drop a verse or two, because let's face it...who isn't a little sick of christmas music.

Bad Santa by askmeaboutLOOM

askmeaboutLOOM — Wed, 22 Dec 2010 17:27:13 -0800

An original composition by our own Tommy Scheurich, and another experiment in instant festivity.

Silent Night by cortex

cortex — Wed, 22 Dec 2010 16:07:40 -0800

Extremely spartan recording, for me. Vox, piano, a simple vox harmony, and a melodica solo.

Up on the Housetop by man vs sun

man vs sun — Wed, 22 Dec 2010 06:25:32 -0800

Because this holiday tune appears on every beginning band's premiere concert program, it's one of my favorite to mock.

What Child is This? by askmeaboutLOOM

askmeaboutLOOM — Tue, 21 Dec 2010 17:12:26 -0800

We all thought as hard as we could, to come up with a Christmas song that none of us hate, so we could do it semi-reverently, in a manner which at least resembles proper. It took so many takes to get it right that now we hate this song, too.

Have Yourself a Walken Little Christmas by cortex

cortex — Tue, 21 Dec 2010 13:18:07 -0800

A special encore performance by Christopher Walken and the Lounge Fellas.

Silent Night by man vs sun

man vs sun — Tue, 21 Dec 2010 06:17:27 -0800

"What should we play next?" "How about Silent Night?" "Okay."

Rusty Chevrolet by g.i.r.

g.i.r. — Mon, 20 Dec 2010 20:29:24 -0800

A cover of a holiday classic. This is my first real multi-track project.

Christmas (Is the Time to Get Fucked Up) by uncleozzy

uncleozzy — Mon, 20 Dec 2010 16:55:22 -0800

Sometimes Christmas cheer comes in bottles and baggies.

Santa's Slay by askmeaboutLOOM

askmeaboutLOOM — Mon, 20 Dec 2010 16:17:17 -0800

The first of two experiments on The Christmas Album, testing the hypothesis that [x] + sleighbells = instant festivity.
