I spent most of this post wondering how one poops an eardrum.

Believe it or not, it's less painful than pooping a Jarreaumas.

True. "Hark! The Herald Angels Sing" forced me to poop a ginormous Jarreaumas.

Fuck you guys, that was brutal. if Christmas is about the spirit of giving, I'm giving you both a swift kick in the kitten the next time I see you.

I thought that was Wing for a minute.
I think Jason had better damn well teach a saw how to sing by next week's gig. I only want to hear "Last Christmas" at Acoustic '80s if it's being sung by a saw.

I couldn't advocate this more than I do.
Jason, learn to play the damn saw by next Friday. Chop Chop!

Acoustic 80s... Now featuring more fatal saw mayhem.
I said it before - I'll say it again. YIKES.

That was horrifically awful. What's next -- "The Singing Butt Cheeks"?

Up next, "The Budget Band" They're going to play Jingle Bells with the melody spun out on wine glass rims and make the clopping sound of the horses' hooves with spoons.

Hey, wine glass music is cool, check out that new Gilmour live album in the previous post. But only if you watch the DVD will you see what makes the surreal "hum" at the beginning of "Shine On . . . "
It's a trip that they can amplify wine glasses enough to fill up an entire Polish shipyard. . . . .

I have nothing to add here, except to confirm that Jason is totally a 6 year old when he throws temper tantrums.

What a fantastic new angle. Do you think if I learn how to play the builder's level and stud-finder Merge Records will finally give a crap about me too?

Are you sure this isn't the new Radiohead?

Funniest comment of Mellowmas!

Julian Koster played in Madison back before Thanksgiving. There was no fixed venue--he asked people to e-mail him and then he'd come to their house to play. Seriously.

Oh, NOW you tell us. We could have had you write a post! "Julian Koster Live: My Night with the Singing Saw."

Engineer Steve Reynolds said "It's like Julian Koster entertaining you in your living room." And for an extra $10, Wing will come over and do the dishes.

I love the Saw Lady - I see her at Union Square a lot. Do you know that she is the organizer of the annual NYC Musical Saw Festival? Here is a video to prove: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mltQGm0_dVE

There's an entire FESTIVAL? Thanks for the tip. I will purchase tickets for Jason.

Have you tried playing this shit for your pets? It's gotta be cool - just don't let PETA know...
If anyone doubts the authenticity of this, here's the You-Tube proof: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=duC7GXtnyhY Santa Claus is coming to town! And what's up with the Stepford wife/girlfriend/sister? I want whatever drug she's on that allows her to keep cooking dinner and not run out of the room screaming.

Know why that video is only 1:35 long? Cause at 1:38, the woman picks up the cast iron skillet from the stove and konks Julian on the head with it.

Funniest comment on that video: "I can't help but think there's someone out there trying to cut a log in half with a cello."
I remember reading about the saw as a classical music instrument, but it was used by all the 20th-century guys who turned classical music into something played only on university campuses.

I want "Metal Machine Music Christmas"!

It sounds like alien Christmas carols. This stuff would probably be at home in an SNL skit that also thinks it's clever and fun. And what is the story with the background noise? It sounds like dishes being washed in a very large cafeteria. Is this guy Julian Koster kindof a mental patient or something? Maybe we shouldn't be making fun of him.
