Christmas Music That Doesn't Suck 2014 Edition: Day Eight 


The Christmas Song - Jayesslee


I know you don't know them, but I love them. I posted stuff by them in previous years (also go by JS) and I still keep going back. Check out their cover of Gangnam Style. Not what you were thinking at all, it's fantastic. Here's another one to watch - Bang Bang. The whole one verse of it that is.

2013 was Nat King Cole, 2012 was Mel Torme and Judy Garland, 2011 was She & Him


Blue Christmas - Postmodern Jukebox (PMJ) feat. Kate Davis


Love their throwback style. I absolutely love Elvis's version of this song so any sort of throwback is awesome. Looks like I posted something by them last year too.

These guys are the kings of throwback, check out their channel. Here's a:
Hoedown version of Nicki Minaj's Anaconda
Jazz version of Britney Spears' Womanizer
"Grandpa style" of Thrift Shop
Barn dance version of Blurred Lines

Just ridiculous. Subscribing, they're awesome.

2013 was David Thibault (WHO WAS RIDICULOUS and actually performed it on Ellen here), 2012 was She & Him, 2011 was Elvis Presley and Martina McBride


Run Run Rudolph - Steven Tyler and Brad Paisley


Wildly entertaining. Once they started jamming that is, not so much the talking part.

2013 was Kelly Clarkson, 2012 was Cee-Lo Green



2011 Day Eight - Christmastime is here, Happiness and cheer
2012 Day Eight - Blue Blue Blue Christmas
2013 Day Eight - Run run Rudolph, Santa's gotta make it to town

2012 Day Eight - Blue Blue Blue Christmas

blue, blue, blue christmas.

Interesting day today. Got to spend it at the home branch with the Queen of Awesome herself.

And us working together is even more rare than myself and Slim Shady being paired up.

Needless to say the day flew by.

Got to catch up on a lot of stuff, though I kept getting blamed for things getting broken. Self-checks, Koha holds queue, etc. geez, think the building is still mad at me for leaving.

I miss the good old home branch but with the work branch there's so much more going on all the time. Which is good but can be bad as well.

After an extremely fast 9 hours the boyfriend picked me up and we headed over to Grams place for our annual pitch tournament Christmas party.

Every year it's a huge thing. Gag gifts, pizza, card playing, family stories - you know the usual holiday cheer. Got some interesting presents. A bath mat from my bathroom floor, candy, wine glass, dancing baby... crap. i just got rid of that thing. Its on.

Story behind the dancing baby is a bit of a mystery. It originated around 15 years ago and has been making the rounds ever sense. And its not like a nice cute doll. its ugly. and it dances. Well, its two pieces so when you shake it its upper body flails and it looks like its dancing. and its still in the package. If you get it you're stuck with it for a year before you wrap it up and give it to someone else.

Favorite sister in law and I were pitch partners as usual and dominated...the last game. The game we ended with zero points was a little questionable but to be fair it was much better than the negative score the hand before.

We made some crazy 7 and 8 bids to pull off the final victory. Got a stress ball and a bar of soap favor prizes as apparently working and taking classes is stressful and the soap was a present for those who swear, which I do occasionally.

Sketch is laughing I can tell.

But not in front of Grams. She did pretty well tonight with all the excitement. Usually she gets tired early but she lasted the whole time.

Alright on to the music. Off tomorrow so excited to sleep in. Have a good one.

Another slight change as last year's included Charlie Brown and as I can't post it twice in a row I'm switching it out with Run Rudolph Run.
