Fourth Day of Quandry, Helios, 67th Day of Hagwinter, 524 M.E.


Christmas music that doesn't suck. I used to believe that it didn't exist and over the years as older rock 'n' rollers and various other musicians past their creative and popular peak released their inevitable late career Christmas album, my mind hadn't changed. 

And then I heard John Zorn's A Dreamer's Christmas.  Marc Ribot on guitar, Jamie Saft on keyboards, Kenny Wollesen on vibes, chimes, and glockenspiel, Mike Patton and Trevor Dunn of Mr. Bungle on vocals and bass, and Joey Baron  and Cyro Baptista on drums and percussion. Sheer magic.
