I think a holiday music discussion thread is a decent idea.

After all, nothing gets me in the spirit like the music.

This is one of my favourite releases of all time.

The HP Lovecraft Historical Society - A Very Scary Solstice

The HP Lovecraft Historical Society - An Even Scarier Solstice

Sing everyone! (To the tune of Good King Wenceslas)

"Demon Sultan Azathoth,
Bubbles in confusion,
Centre of the universe,
Sprouting foul protrusions.
Muffled maddening beating drums,
Hellish flutes a-playing.
Round him dance the other Gods,
Voiceless mindless sway-a-ing..."

"You know Deep Ones and Dark Young,
And Shanteks and Shoggoths,
Night Gaunts and Polyps,
And Fungi from Yoggoth,
But do you recall,
The most loathsome beastie of all...

Freddy the Red-Brained Mi-Go,
Had a very shiny brain.
And if you ever saw it,
You would scream and go insane.
All of the other mi-go,
Laughed at him and made remarks.
They wouldn't let poor Freddy,
Whisper with them in the dark...."

For the record, if it's regular christmas music, or the Trans-Siberian Orchestra, then I hate it. I work in retail, and that's the crap they play over the speakers all the fucking time. I would love to see those H.P. Lovecraft albums.

It's glorious. Thank you.

I just came into possession of the Bright Eyes christmas collection, which is pretty darn good, if you like Bright Eyes.

Johnny C · « **Reply #10 on:** 18 Nov 2007, 21:17 »

Holy fuck I have been listening to both of those records for a year.

I feel myself getting nearer to my inevitable death.

Liz · « **Reply #11 on:** 18 Nov 2007, 21:20 »

In my defense I didn't even know who Bright Eyes was a year ago. Or Low, for that matter. I'm kind of a late bloomer of sorts when it comes to this sort of music.

I have yet to hear a holiday song I enjoyed. It's pretty weird.

Sweet old gods Kahr!

Upload now Please!

godinpants · « **Reply #14 on:** 19 Nov 2007, 02:29 »

Bon Jovi recorded this, before he was Bon Jovi.

KharBevNor · « **Reply #15 on:** 19 Nov 2007, 02:32 »

Guys see the thing is I don't exactly have them on this computer.

I have them on a computer. 60 miles away. On the other side of a minor sea.

Be a fortnight before you get anything. Sorry.

I also have all the X-Mas Project albums on that computer. Which is metal versions of Christmas songs. Like, actual metal versions, kinda mixture of old-school power and thrash, not Trans-Siberian Orchestra guff.

Aw dude, TSO are so, so, so good live. Saw them last year.

I put Sufjan Stevens' Christmas EP box set in the sendspace thread a week or two ago. I love that thing.

Dimmukane · « **Reply #17 on:** 19 Nov 2007, 08:09 »

It doesn't matter, I still hate TSO. And Khar, that's fine. You should upload them on Christmas Eve and it'll be like you're Santa Claus.

valley_parade · « **Reply #18 on:** 19 Nov 2007, 08:53 »

Santa Khar would be the best thing since Santa Pauli.

Thrillho · « **Reply #19 on:** 19 Nov 2007, 12:43 »

Honestly, I am. There are groups like Jethro Tull or (that guy from) ELP that I never listen to except for their Christmas track. I am a fucking sucker for Christmas songs. I actually wrote a couple. One instrumental, the other an ironic Christmas ballad.

Hawksong · « **Reply #20 on:** 20 Nov 2007, 05:58 »

So, if I *like* TSO, am I banished forever?
I like Christmas music I can sing with, frankly. Old choral habits don't die!

mediumrare · « **Reply #21 on:** 20 Nov 2007, 06:07 »

Brrrp?

Actually, Christmas Eve Parts i,ii and iii played consecutively, as they are at the end of (my version or all versions, I'm not sure... they were originally on a couple of EPs) the album, makes for a really nice semi-Christmassy feel. A little spooky, but it's wintery shit, yeah.
