Well, it’s that time of year again. According to teh shopping centers<\/em>, it’s been that time of year for a few weeks now. And I’ve gotta say that I’m as righteously indignant, if not as homicidal, as Junichi<\/a> that we now find ourselves prepped for shopping season by Chri$tma$ jingles before it’s even Thanksgiving. <\/p>\n

It remains a major pet-peeve of mine to hear X-mas muzik outside the Thanksgiving evening – Christmas dinner corridor. Enough’s enough. Which is why I took down last year’s X-mas mix long ago. I couldn’t bear the thought of anyone listening in the off-season. But it’s time now. I’ll concede that. And so I point you once again to “Remix-mas<\/a>” — a Christmas Smashacre<\/a> of sorts. <\/p>\n

I should also mention, tho I hesitate a tad, that I worked on a new seasonal tune recently. You see, I was hoping to contribute a track to DJ BC’s newest comp, Santastic 2: Clausome<\/a> (which you all prolly saw @ boingboing<\/a>) — as did my fellow Riddim Methodist, DJ Flack<\/a>, among others — but, as you’ll hear, my attempt ended up more Charles Ives than Burl Ives. So it goes. I modestly withdrew my submission, and offer it up here — as a warning to those who think a mashup takes no more than a little cheap software and a capricious sense of harmony: find yourself at your mom’s place with nothing but two x-mas mp3s on a new laptop and try to make that<\/em> work, smartguy.<\/p>\n

And now that I’ve built up your expectations, allow me to share,<\/p>\n

Wayne&Wax (Jacob Miller + Nat King Cole), “The Blazing Yule (Dread the Halls)”<\/a>
