I’ve been busy as all-git-out recently, no time for much of anything else, especially blog-related, so I’m doing a quick hand-off to a couple of videos that fit well.
First off we have George Hrab, he of The Geologic Podcast over there on the sidebar or indeed right here, with, “I Don’t Believe in christmas,” a song of his from many years ago and quite pleasant, belying the impression you might have gotten from the title. But we have a conundrum as we do so, because his original video from 1990 (?!) features the full musical accompaniment, making it much richer in my ears, but the video quality is less than stellar, shall we say? Bank surveillance footage of the suspect, is the right impression. He redid the video in 2022 with about a 7,000% increase in quality, but this time around, he was doing it live with unaccompanied folk guitar, which I’ve never been terribly fond of. So, both are below: choose whichever you like, or listen to both and tell me I’m full of shit, or don’t listen to either of them and tell me I’m full of shit anyway because, hey, it’s the webbernets and exactly the place for that.
Next up we have Tim Minchin, who’s been featured here once before, and I really should have more of his stuff, but somehow his appearances and videos thereof never seem to cross my path, and I have to go looking for them instead. His song, taken from a live performance in Australia, is, “White Wine in the Sun,” and please note: Each year, proceeds from the sales of this song at this time of year go to benefit those on the autism spectrum, so please feel free to download it from the service of your choice.
[There are several versions of this out there too, but this one appeared to have no intrusive horseshit YouTube ads – now you know why I host my own stuff on Vimeo.]
That’s all for now, so I’ll leave you with a heartfelt Happy Holidays, for whatever holiday you choose to celebrate or indeed if you celebrate none at all and can thus consider that a holiday thereby creating all sorts of logical issues. I’m glad you’re here to read this, and I’ll provide something more soon. Ish.
