When the ‘Wise Men’ came

to bring some catnip?

Greetings of the season, whatever your persuasion!

I’m a couple of days late here, I know, but I wanted to drop a line to all and sundry, and I wanted to post something non-contentious, just for kicks. I thought that our surprise snowfall was something to share, since it doesn’t happen all that often here. I also wanted to share something that a musical friend just sent back to us, which just made me smile so much I couldn’t keep it to myself. I hope he doesn’t mind…

So, with no further ado, I give you Ian Beaty’s ‘Snowglobe’ – Ian, who has just moved back to Vancouver from Berlin, produced and sang the lead vocal and it also features “a bunch of perfect strangers I recorded at Heathrow airport, and some tasty guitar playing from Vancouverite, Steve Charles”. Let it play a minute or so, it’s well worth it!

Also (I almost forgot this!) I thought I’d point out that I am a featured artist this week at UBL – the Ultimate Band List – they’re plugging me, I guess I can plug them back! There’s some other great indie stuff to discover there too, have a look around! And hey, while we’re being all full of christmas cheer, why not a positive political link for a change? The good tidings just won’t stop flowing!

Well, anyway, I hope you’re all well and have something to be happy and thankful for at this time of the year… or, if you prefer, any or all other times of the year (what the heck, I say! Wishes are free!)

Would you sit on this man’s lap?

They claim that the ‘hat’

but what of the ‘eyes’?

(Benedict XVI sports some pagan headgear here. I can roll with that – clearly he’s attempting to ‘connect’ with audiences in a playful and festive way. But why do I keep hearing the Imperial March in my head, alongside the prophecies of St Malachi?)

I couldn’t agree more!

Well, it’s that time of year again, and the perennial question rears its head once again: what to get the man who has everything? Well, it seems I am not the only one with a possible answer. Or, for those who want a somewhat more sober and erudite analysis…

but perhaps the most telling is today’s live vote on MSNBC (you have to vote to see the current results)… now, I know that as far as mainstream media goes, that’s supposedly on the liberal end of things – which itself is quite telling – but it’s still the mainstream media… and as of this writing with somewhat over 65,000 votes in, it’s sitting at 87% definitely for vs. 8% definitely against an impeachment trial. Wow.

Of course it doesn’t really mean anything, but still, a man can dream, can’t he? Could there be a Santa Claus after all? Perhaps he only helps those who help themselves?

Oran’s feeling a little ‘left out’…

Some oldschool imagery to snag your attention for the following fandom points of ponderance:

– Holiday Newsletter? Consider it an early stocking stuffer, slappy!

– More G4? Tune in for a recap of 2005’s best, including a snippet of saintly smarm, on the Dec 26th edition of Attack of the Underground!

– Tobias Tinker tunes = the new Yuletide standard. More sonic goodness. Less family singalong.

– A new fan hub to hang your BS swaghat in? Sure…MySpace has some ick-factor if you stray, but we’ve got a fan-run OASIS. We’ll consider it our Xmas prezzie if you join 😉

– Our presents to you, aside from the usual love ‘n’ stuff? Hmmm…let’s just say that all you good little boys and girls should have a look under our webbish tree after the 25th. And for the bad kids? Bring your stolen booty – we’ve turned blinder eyes to the long arm of the law…
