In keeping with tradition, here again are the Demons of Gyrophonia ringing in 2011 with the same old song. [more inside]
We Three Kings
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 [more inside]

What Child is This?
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. [more inside]
Silent Night
Santa's Slay
The first of two experiments on The Christmas Album, testing the hypothesis that [x] + sleighbells = instant festivity. [more inside]

Another improv track riffing off of the previous Bearded Dragon. This was the last time the Slimelords/the Next ever played together. We broke up shortly after some pictures of us were taken together that same night.
Party Gorilla!
Lyrics and text by The Oatmeal, taken from his brilliant comic. I basically read it and thought "Cortex should turn this into a hyper-ballad." Man vs sun then suggested we should make one, instead. Here is the result. [more inside]

I'm the Scapegoat (But I Don't Eat Garbage)
Gyrophonia goes burlesque...or perhaps the other way 'round. I'm not quite certain which. [more inside]
The Dalek Song 2005
Improv track. I'm a stupidly huge Doctor Who fan. I'm sorry. Almost every song I've ever jammed on vocally has included a reference to the Good Doctor. I confess...I may be an incarnation of the Doctor. A fat, currently unemployed incarnation. [more inside]
Borderline
Tommy would make a good Dalek. [more inside]
In The Orchard
in which a couple of dejected double basses mutter to themselves darkly... [more inside]

He died once... [more inside]
INCORRECT.
Subtlety doesn't come easy when you're all insane. [more inside]
Crabtone
This sort of nonsense should be kept under wraps. [more inside]
Permyriad
The basis point of insanity, as explained by a mad violist, so concludes An Evening With... [more inside]
