Sweet! "Mods of Christmastown"? I need that. And I didn't know the Chills had a xmas song.
Ha! You know how I "found" those two songs? I created a smart playlist in iTunes for songs pegged as "Holiday" genre, or songs or album names with Christmas in them.Those particular two songs surprised me as well!
The Chills song appeared on the "Secret Box" 3 CD collection of outtakes and live tunes that Martin released a few years ago.
The Zumpano song was on the CD included with Ptolemaic Terrascope #25.
I can get both up onto Buffistarawk, maybe this evening.
It's gotta be tough, no doubt, but doing interviews about how tough it is while trying to get famous strikes me as... disingenuous?
Hec! Thank you muchly!
Merriest Christmas to my favorite Lexicogratrix!
Sheepish
I broke Buffistarawk! I decided to take advantage of my parent's high speed connection to download some songs, and somewhere nearing 20 songs, I got a note saying that the account was suspended for 24 hours due to "unusual usage." So I'm saying, my bad, and letting people know what it going on.
Sorry about that chief.
