about
premiered on Jon Solomon's 2022 25-Hour Holiday Radio Show on WPRB Princeton
recorded in the Crooked Room at the Ritz, West Philly. December 2022 using Audacity freeware
Casio PT-82, Roland RA-50, French horn, sleigh bells, and vocals
This song was inspired by DJ Commie Francis playing the Stooges' "I Wanna Be Your Dog" right after the 2021 WPRB Xmas marathon, as part of a program based around non-Christmas songs that feature bells.
lyrics
Sleigh bells like "I Wanna Be Your Dog"
And not like Santa Claus
This all happened on the 25th
But it was not about Christmas
I wanted to love her
Hold her tight
But she finally found that river to skate away on
I wanted to get those kicks
All day, all night
But I remembered getting kicked by a skate
Lynn D- 91, 92 maybe
And it was all red, with no green in sight
Red and green only look good together
For about 30 days each year
Gliding above,
The weather’s not indicative of any season
And I feel outside myself
The tinsel, balls, greenery, and lights
Just seem like cheap movie props
They’ll all soon get packed away
Like me, everything else
I flash across the screen then I’m gone
There’s always a big sale on the 26th
[chorus]
This song could mean anything
The blank slate of a white-out
Though it very rarely snows here on Christmas
It’s plausible, but unlikely
There were lights hanging in the background
But they WERE in the background
This was a break-up
It all happened on the 25th
But it was NOT about CHRISTMAS
A raucous adventure through noise, no wave, off-kilter DIY prog, and the absurdist side of post-punk from Pagan Athletes. Bandcamp New & Notable Jun 13, 2023
An introspective record that fuses post-rock, shoegaze and ambient synth patches into a seamless array of shimmering soundscapes. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 26, 2023
A mind-blowing batch of jazz-informed hardcore exploding with drill-press riffing and throat-destroying howls. Really great! Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 6, 2022
