about

During the holidays I am a wreck. I know it's just a couple get togethers, but I place a lot of weight on it. Every few years or so I feel normal or pumped about it, but mostly I'm just a mess. My wife and I spend a lot of time jamming Christmas records though, and that is alway a bright spot on the season. Here's a collection of some of my favorite moments from that time of cleaning and stress that we all love the best.

Okay, hugs! Happy Holidays!

released December 14, 2021

I started this a couple years ago, but never really finished more than one a year between the Thanksgiving and New Years time limit I have allowed myself to invest in a holiday record. This year I had a good go at it, and I think I can put this guy out and move on from it. I'll keep this up until New Years. If you want it, it's yours, happy holidays. You should absolutely not pay for this. I don't want you to, but if you want to stream it in the app you'll have to pay pay a dollar I think. I'll take that, but only because that's how it works.

Most of this is just pad performances, and I tried to use only sounds from other versions of the songs, but some turntables were played during the making of this record, and some songs didn't have an isolated kick, so I reused a kick a couple times. Aloha Bucky and Xmas in Hell are tributes to some records I jam more often. I think I used a drum machine, and a bass on Hello Frosty. That one is the oldest, and I can't remember what I was doing then. There might be extra guitars on there also. It's the only track with overdubs on it. Okay I think that's it.
