    Happy Progmas To All!

    I know it still a bit early in the season, but I thought some of you might enjoy this Holiday Classic I found on Youtube:



    Enjoy!

    Love this. And finally figured out that the bass riff is "Dont Eat the Yellow Snow."

    With two weeks left til Christmas, I guess today's gift is "A Bass Riff in 7/4 time" However, my true love probably wouldn't know 7/4 from 4/4

    Loved this! I was hoping for a new one this year but that woulsd be 3 on the trot so maybe I'm being greedy!
    What if the Hokey Cokey really IS what it's all about?

    They say in their facebook page that one of the musicians has hurt a hand, so Progmas is cancelled this year - but they've working on their 'proper' album (which will hopefully be as good as some of the things going on in that fab spoof)

    On the third day of Progmas, my true love gave to me - three pretentious lyrics:
    "Dawn of our power we amuse redescending as fast as misused"
    "O Lamia, your flesh that remains I will take as my food"
    "Dance into the meat grinder, ethnic cleansing sharp reminder"

    No ladies dancing. HEY! LOL
    The downside of being better than everyone else is that people tend to assume you're pretentious.

    DO they add tweaks every year? The opening Aqualung bit (which I love) isn't on the version I downloaded some time ago.

    On the 12th day of Progmas, my true love gave to me - 12 structural, contrapuntal and harmonic complexities of the kind you don’t hear in most modern pop/rock, because that stuff is just directed at the lowest common denominator, whereas prog aims higher and dares to challenge the listener in ways that mainstream music rarely, if ever, manages to. (Whew!)
