Nat King Cole's version - All I Want For Christmas Is My Two Front Teeth punk rock cover.

"All I Want for Christmas Is My Two Front Teeth" is a novelty Christmas song written in 1944 by Donald Yetter Gardner (1913-2004) while teaching music at public schools in Smithtown, New York. 

The song was originally recorded by Spike Jones & His City Slickers on December 6, 1947, with lead vocal by George Rock. That version reached the top of the pop charts in 1948, and again in 1949. The song has also been recorded by numerous other singers and performers, including Ray Stevens, George Strait, Danny Kaye with The Andrews Sisters, The Platters, Dread Zeppelin, The Kelly Family,  Nat King Cole (reportedly Gardner's favorite version), The Chipmunks, the Hampton String Quartet, The Three Stooges, and Count von Count of Sesame Street.

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year my friends!!!

All I Want For Christmas Is My Two Front Teeth (punk rock cover)

Me and my younger son fell in love with this beautiful country and its people when we visited B.C. and Alberta in 2023 doing a roundtrip of 7500 km starting from Vancouver. The picture was taken on Vancouver Island near Tofino. View on what should be Wickaninnish Island. Before Tofino, we took the Inside Passage by Ferry starting from Prince Rupert to Port Hardy. One of most beautiful Boat trips I ever did.

Lyrics:

What's the price, what's the cost, what's the cut, what's the fee?
Bargain bin, going cheap, going off, what's for free?

Why's it not enough?
Why's it never enough?

Shut your door, shut your eyes, shut your mouth, bend the knee

And you should be so glad
For only what you need
All aboard and saddle up
Better thank God that you got a cup

To be half empty
And a pot to piss in, yeah.
All aboard and saddle up
You only need some, and it's just enough

You've got the urge, be willing to purge
Just leave enough and leave it be.

Why's it not enough?
Why's it never enough?

Leave enough and leave it be.

Yearning. The pain when you long for something and yet can't get it. When periods of depression and self-immersion are interrupted by outbursts of hearfelt desire and longing, only to collapse into themselves again. And yet, excruciating as this bittersweet state of mind is, the heart nevertheless seems to also derive pleasure from it.

Compositionwise: 
The track is of the form Intro (@0:00) - Main1 (@0:33) - Main2 (@1:29) - Diversion (@2:19) - Main3(@2:53) - Outro (@3:17)
Overall, the track lives from its sequence of low-energy parts and muffled outbursts. Over time, the track increases in intensity, in two ways: First, its speed increases from the Intro in the Mid 60s to the Low 70s lateron. Moreoever, the melodical intensity of the variations gets increasingly dense (see below) 

The track starts with a low-paced introspect Intro where the left melody line goes up and the right hand down. This contraction in the used space of tones resembles the seclusion of the proponent of our story. The desparation is underlined by sudden crescendos and abrupt falling back into pian(issim)o. This effect is held up throughout the remainder of the track. The left hand in the Intro follows a low-paced half note beat. The right hand first introduces the lead theme that is later varied in the parts (M, M', M'') but then modulates in a unique way that is not repeated throughout the track again.
@ 0:33, the Intro is over and the first of the main parts, Main1, starts. The left hand increases its intensity from here on throughout the track by switching to quarters instead of halfs. The lead theme is modulated with more energy (and will be ever more intense in the later variations of Main). After that, the track goes @0:57 into a series of outbursts and resignations. This series is repeated in Main2 @1:57 in more intensity and a chord inversion higher.
The Diversion is characterised by chord inversions that gently fall down, just like rain that pours down that window that our protagonist stares through. And then reaches the biggest outburst of the whole track.
Finally, after Main3, which includes the most intense version of the lead theme and harmonically altered variation, the piece finishes with a questioning yet pieceful end.

In mastering the piece, after MIDI editing, one of the challenges was to find the right balance between the plaintive metallic overtone-rich outbursts versus a rich and full sound for the resignative parts. I chose the Pianoteq Warm Peterov Mistral (with some minor tweaks) as the piano. On this, I used three basic Cubase-inate effects: (1) some light-touch EQ (a scaled-downversion of Basic Piano), (2) compression (Ratio of 1.8) and (3) Reverb (the Cubase-equivalent of the Goldener Musikvereinssaal in Vienna of course :-)). The mix has been balanced at -1db to allow enough headroom for the streaming services' normalization magic to happen ;-).

Fantasiewelt

Ich sitze hier und grinse
zusammen mit John Lennon auf einer Insel
wunderbar, auch noch da ist Kurt Cobain
und vor ein paar Tagen erst, habe ich auch Elvis gesehen

Was, das wollt ihr mir nicht glauben?
Doch, meine Fantasiewelt, die könnt ihr mir nicht rauben
Alles so schön rund, kunterbunt und gesund

Jeder weiß alles, brauchen tun wir nichts
Geliebt wird das was gut ist, kein Gezeter, keine Tricks

Wir können vor dem schlafen gehen Schafe zählen
Müssen uns nicht durch die Tage quälen,
Wenn du Lust hast, dann mach was,
wenn nicht, dann lass das

Ich grinse als bestände die Luft nur aus Lachgas
Ich grinse als bestände die Luft nur aus Lachgas

Keine Armut, kein Streit, keine Kriege
Keine Armut, kein Streit, keine Kriege
Keine Armut, kein Streit, keine Kriege

Ich schließe meine Augen und Fliege
Ich schließe meine Augen und Fliege
Ich schließe meine Augen und Fliege

Fantasy World

I sit here and grin
on an island with John Lennon
wonderful, Kurt Cobain is also there
and just a few days ago, I also saw Elvis

What, you don't want to believe me?
But you can't take my fantasy world away from me
Everything is so beautifully round, colorful and healthy

Everyone knows everything, we don't need to do anything
What is loved is what is good, no complaining, no tricks

We can count sheep before going to sleep
We don't have to torture ourselves through the days,
If you feel like it, do something,
if not, then leave it

I grin as if the air was made of nitrous oxide
I grin as if the air was made of nitrous oxide

No poverty, no strife, no wars
No poverty, no strife, no wars
No poverty, no strife, no wars

I close my eyes and fly
I close my eyes and fly
I close my eyes and fly

Lyrics:

We got our diamonds in our pockets
We got our chickens in a row
We finally got our shit together enough
To pack up our stuff
Let's go!

We got the city in our rear view
Heading down old country roads
The static turns into a signal
On this transistor radio
Here we go, here we go

Get on your feet
The music will take you there
Tonite, tonite
Je ne care pas ce soir

Get on your feet
The music will take you there
Tonite, tonite

Following this road to nowhere
Til we find our proper home
They can look but they won’t
Find us in our
New found nature zone
Here we go, here we go, let go

Get on your feet
The music will take you there
Tonite, tonite
Je ne care pas ce soir

Get on your feet
The music will take you there
Tonite, tonite

Poem “Dillard Sissman” from the Spoon River Anthology by Edgar Lee Masters

Thanks for recital from LibriVox.org read by Linda Leu

The buzzards wheel slowly
In wide circles, in a sky
Faintly hazed as from dust from the road.
And a wind sweeps through the pasture where I lie
Beating the grass into long waves.

My kite is above the wind,
Though now and then it wobbles,
Like a man shaking his shoulders;
And the tail streams out momentarily,
Then sinks to rest.

And the buzzards wheel and wheel,
Sweeping the zenith with wide circles
Above my kite. And the hills sleep.
And a farm house, white as snow,
Peeps from green trees - far away.

And I watch my kite,
For the thin moon will kindle herself ere long,
Then she will swing like a pendulum dial
To the tail of my kite.
A spurt of flame like a water-dragon
Dazzles my eyes -
I am shaken as a banner!

We had in mind to create a summer song along the lines of Club Tropicana by the unforgettable Wham! with the addition of an arpeggio inspired by Rio by Duran Duran, something with an '80s vibe. But in the end, this is what came out... you be the judge!

Lyrics:

Lights are flashing vivid bright
Catch a vibe in the night
Dancing through the city glow
Feel the rhythm let it flow

Palm trees swaying with the beat
Glitter sparkling on our feet
Under stars the world arises
We are glowing in the heights

Tropical night feels so right
Glamour shining in the light
Catch the breeze live the dream
In this vibrant
Fun night scene

Echoes of laughter fill the air
Summer breeze blowing through our hair
Every step a heartbeat's call
In this moment we have it all

Moonlight kisses on the sand
Hold my hand let’s make a stand
Feel the magic in the sound
In this paradise we've found

Tropical night feels so right
Glamour shining in the light
Catch the breeze live the dream
In this vibrant
Fun night scene

Echoes of laughter fill the air
Summer breeze blowing through our hair
Every step a heartbeat's call
In this moment we have it all

Moonlight kisses on the sand
Hold my hand let’s make a stand
Feel the magic in the sound
In this paradise we've found

Tropical night feels so right
Glamour shining in the light
Catch the breeze live the dream
In this vibrant
Fun night scene

All night
Fun night scene
Ooh-ooh-ooh
All night
Fun night scene

Tropical night

Interamnia, also known as 704 Interamnia, is one of the largest asteroids in the asteroid belt. It offers rich opportunities for scientific exploration:

Composition and Structure: Interamnia is a dark F-type asteroid, which means it has a carbonaceous composition. Studying it could provide insights into the early solar system's material.

Surface and Geography: Detailed observations and missions could reveal the asteroid's surface features, including craters, ridges, and possibly even signs of past collisions.

Orbital Dynamics: Understanding Interamnia's orbit and its interactions with other asteroids can shed light on the dynamics of the asteroid belt and the gravitational influences within it.

There's something metronomic about the planet, Nod. 

The slide guitar was played on a telecaster whilst the heavier riffs came from a Duesenberg Paloma put through a modern amp.

'Tic Toc East of West'

I'm not doing any music these days,so I thought I'd post one I did years ago. It's a cover of a Paul Ads song I've always loved.

Paul Adamson is a damn fine songwriter and I hardly ever record covers of other folk's work,but this one resonated deeply with me and still does after repeated listens.
I didn't lean too heavy on the production on this,because I wanted to allow the song to shine. I hope you enjoy and bring a few listens to Paul's cloud.
