OK, one more. This one’s a blast from the past, taken from the second version of what I called The Football Project. The idea: Audio Christmas card gone horribly wrong. I had my brother play “O Christmas Tree” (yaaay public domain) and then we argued on a separate track. A script was not needed – we’re brothers.
Bickering/announcer/production: Me. Piano/bickering: Rob Klingenberger.

If some is good, then more is better! We conclude the three days of Christmas with this year’s batch of tracks. Recorded late November-early December (specifically, I finished it about a week ago as of this post), this collection was a lot of fun to assemble. This year’s main goal was to make the most manic possible version of “Jingle Bells,” which I’d like to think I accomplished. But overall, I’m really happy with the results and I hope you enjoy them.
All instruments and voices by me, recorded and mixed by me.

Recorded in November of ’08, this batch of Christmas music was a lot of fun to put together. If there’s any lesson to take from these recordings, it’s this: when in doubt, play faster. “Up On The Housetop”, in particular, is a sort of speed record for me – four full verses and choruses in one minute and six seconds. Enjoy!
Recorded and mixed by Mike Huurman. Additional yelling on “Let it Snow” and “Deck The Halls” by Mike Huurman and Steve O’Riley.

Well, since it’s December, let’s kick this blog off with some Christmas Carols!

This will become a running theme, but for the first time: All instruments and voices by me, production and mixing by me.
