Xmas Rocking

the Trekky Records Christmas party last night at the Cats Cradle was a festive and motley event, quite crowded (raising some money for MS research) and rocking. i may have been the only solo act as some bands were swollen to twice their normal size. Ivan from the Rosebuds had a band with him and they nailed a version of Wham's "Last Christmas" that had me thinking i actually liked that terrible song. I played three songs on electric guitar by myself and nearly remembered all the words:

River by Joni Mitchell
Child's Christmas in Wales by John Cale
11:59 by Scrawl

i had "Don't Hog the Nog, Zog" from the old Bricks christmas tape on the setlist, but deemed it a momentum-killer and yanked it last minute. nobody missed it!

good times...

11:59! what a bleak yet wry and wonderful song.

I know a certain 24-hour Xmas radio program that would love to hear some mp3s of this event...

Oh man, 11:59 = all-time classic. Would also love to hear that.

Gotta hop on the 11:59 train - haven't thought about that song in far too long. And what a great party song - always leave 'em crying...
