Tinsel on my Stump The Corporal cradles his carbeurator, he's vomiting into a tire, while his young 'un's correcting his posture as he holds his own feet to the fire. Well, the weinie wagons are circling and he's way overdue for the nurse but it's bottles of liquid what got him here and the needles just made it worse. All the sweatered matrons are giddy but their dimpled cheeks are too plump. And they're busyin' their husbands' X-mas balls while I'm freezing mine off in this dump. I've so little regard for your welfare, that there ain't enough left for my own. So I'm singin' 'baby, it's cold outside,' in my portable frontier home. All the Santas are wearing fezzes this year while the elves 're molesting the toys. It's consequences for Christmas and the--hang in there with me, boys!-- there's a clearance sale on youth & beauty and I've already paid for this hump, so I guess I'll do my Yuletide duty and drape some tinsel on my stump.

Plaid Gravy Betimes I played the stallion to my mare though I never sought to wean her. She lays in bed until our suppertime just like the mustard on my weiner. Betimes I played the stallion to her mare, whose passion's depths lay bottomless, O but never did seemly ruts compare to fucking my hippopotamus.

about

"Quite awe inspiring, to be honest, as the textures and arrangements used are often quite inventive." Scott Homewood, www.rockandrollreport.com

Matt Howarth of www.soniccuriosity.com writes: "This release features over 56 minutes of holiday music. Electronics and percussives (and a variety of additional instruments) are applied to creating tuneage with the Christmas holiday season in mind.

The electronics tend to be sparkling with a twinkly edge (fitting the holiday spirit). Keyboards drive the majority of the electronics, generating sprightly riffs that alternate between chilled chords and a warm fireplace milieu. The keys exhibit a sparkling flair, the type one associates with holiday fare.

The percussion is bouncy and crisp, not forceful. The rhythms serve to propel without being intrusive and drowning out everything. A few songs feature vocals.

Generally, these compositions are not cover versions of yuletide favorites. Rather, the majority are original pieces saturated with holiday sensibilities, capturing moods of wintry family gatherings gathered around expansive festive dinner tables or curled up by the fireplace with your loved ones.

A few traditional Xmas pieces sneak in, balancing the original compositions. A novelty item, but perhaps also of interest to those who feel that yuletide nostalgia during the summer."
