Because it’s Christmas-time, and because I like strange and silly and obscure Christmas music — like the conversation I had yesterday about The Royal Guardsmen and “Snoopy’s Christmas” — I thought it only fair to point out a Christmas song that I’ve liked since I first heard it.

On a Beatle-esque “Stairway to Heaven”
After writing about my indifference to Led Zeppelin two weeks ago, I have to admit that this cover of “Stairway to Heaven” is one of the niftiest things I’ve heard in a long while. It’s by an Australian Beatles tribute band, the Beatnix. What I especially like about the video is the way the footageContinue reading “On a Beatle-esque “Stairway to Heaven””
On a Possibly Surprising Musical Lapse
A reader dropped me an e-mail yesterday. Was I, he wanted to know, excited about the Led Zeppelin reunion? As I wrote back, I’m indifferent. It’s not even ambivalence — I simply don’t care.

On a Fun Christmas Song
I heard the most amazing Christmas song on the radio this morning on the way to work–“Winter Wonderland” done to the tune and in the style of Led Zeppelin’s “Misty Mountain Hop.” It’s by a duo called Fleming and John. Sure, it’s completely novelty, but it’s a fun, insane novelty that’s available for a download.Continue reading “On a Fun Christmas Song”
