Time to break out the JT Christmas Album...

[LJG]

I always bust it out about 1 month prior.

That time is here.

I love this album... I never seem to tire of it.

I had the strangest dream the other night. I was trying to play the Christmas album full blast for the benifit of my neighbors, but the stereo just wasn't doing it. I have in fact been playing it in the garage while raking leaves, but lately I find I have to go in and rest before the album in done.

I love this album because these songs are never overplayed by Christmas radio stations.
I have heard "Jack Frost and the Hooded Crow", "Another Christmas Song", and "A Christmas Song" on FM radio.

You can't beat the artwork either.

I, too, love this album. You heard those songs on the radio? That is amazing; radio in my area (Boston/Providence) is a dull wasteland, even though Ian plays concerts in these parts pretty frequently.

You are right about the artwork; it evokes the time of the year and the spirit of the music perfectly!

I would pay for a high-quality art poster print of that cover. It is fantastic.

It sounds just like Tull. Also takes a few seconds to buffer.
If you could post this link for me, add it to this thread.



Thanks Jim. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Aquaclaus

Sitting in a department store
Bribing little kids with peppermint
Sweat on his bulbous nose
Rubber boots and silly velvet clothes
Hey, Santa Claus
Steaming like a roast duck
Spitting out of pieces of his bearded fluff
Hey, Santa Claus

Do what you’re told and mind your dad and mommy
And I’ll put a little puppy ‘neath your tree
Santa Claus my friend
Did you think this job was easy?
You poor old sod
You jolly S.O.B.

In the first week of December
They’ll come to crush his knees
When the kids are tugging upon his beard,
He screams in agony
Schnapps is thick on his dog breath
His belly’s big and round
And he’ll dress up like a rabbit in the spring
Ho ho ho ho

Fa la la la
Fa la la la la la la la
Fa la la la la la la
Fa la la la

Sitting in a WalMart
Giving out canes of peppermint
Spitting out his ho ho ho’s
Sticky fingers smearing rented clothes
Hey, Santa Claus
Dying in that hot suit
Ho ho ho ho Santa Claus

Dam, I've never seen anything quite like this.

Google "Bob Rivers Twisted Tunes" for some brilliant stuff!

I've always loved "The 12 Pains of Christmas"
