When I unadvisably grew a beard it turned red, despite having brown hair, that used to be blonde...

My hairs almost as indisicive as I am, well I think it is...

I'm not sure...

I think we should leave this hair colour thing alone now though...

Oh no, I'm starting to get split ends!



More insane ramblings by the people who brought you beeeer milkshakes!

How can you say that? I Loooove Christmas music!!

Well, not the cheesy Frosty and Rudolf stuff that they play in the stores, but the good stuff, carols and all the old classics like the Messiah and the Nutcracker that never get old. I have several big band Christmas tapes I listen to in the car. And I have some really great rock versions of old Christmas songs. Audio Adrenaline singing Little Drummer Boy and the Barenaked Ladies/Sarah McLaughlin version of God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen.

Oh, and the hipoptatomaus song that I just think is soooooo funny. I haven't heard it on the radio yet this year, though.

Oh, How about Gabriel's Message? I've loved this one since it was performed on a certain band's Christmas album. http://www.marillion.com/music/lyrics/covers.htm#gabriel

Ooo... the Ladies and Sarah, I love that song too. Have you heard the Elfs Lament by the Barenaked Ladies and Michael Buble?

I'm a fan of the "old" stuff too. Bing Crosby, Dean Martin, Nat King Cole Etc.

I like the classical stuff too. I blame my concert band background for that. The Dance of The Sugar Plum Faries, Nutcracker Suite..

We hear the Hippopotamus song at least once a day. My girls LOVE that song..

I like Sting's version of Gabriel's Message.

OK, some recorded Christmas music is good. I'm actually partial to the Manheim Steamroller stuff. I grew up going to their concert every year.

Gee...who could that band possibly be?

Honestly, if you're as dedicated to a woman as you are to your band...well, let me say, that would be one very lucky woman!!



Oooh! And what about the Trans-Siberian Orchestra! Everyone loves them.

I'm currently listening to this baroque Christmas album that someone lent me (I traded for my Veggie Tales Christmas CD, another great one for kids. It's hilarious!) Anyway, it's got this HI-LARIOUS song in German. It's just so upbeat and catchy. If I had ANY idea of the words, I'd be singing along.

Music is one of the very few things I'll actually fight about. I only listen to Christmas music from sometime in early December til Christmas itself...any more than that and I go nuts. I almost got in a fist fight once with a roommate because he kept trying to play carol of the bells on my computer and I wouldn't let him, haha.

I love a variety of musical styles, but it would be great to hear what some of my favorite bands would do on a cover. *thinks of what child is this in varying deep vox and screams accompanied by a heavy breakdown followed with double bass blast beats and insanely fast thrashy riffage*

LMD: I'm the adult leader of a youth praise band at my church and my kids are mostly into punk and whatnot. They're always trying to play stuff as loud and heavy as they can, especially our drummer, who's also my cousin.

I wish I could let them play it like they want, but the old people would all die of heart attacks, so we turn it down to a dull-ish roar.
I do love to jam, though.

I told them that if they were very well behaved next rehearsal, I'd let them play "Oi to the World" by the Vandals. (I gave in because they begged and begged.)

Also, like the blog. It's very well done.
