TNG s1e8 “Justice”
Under a week to go and thus far unscathed. It’ll never last.
From a couple weeks ago:
I don’t want a lot for Chreestmaaaars
I was wondering when that would show up. This variation gets a pass.
There is a simple explanation…
I prefer the negative harmony version.
Fuck that it’s one of the things I like about this overzealous season. I’ve loved Mariah since I was in like third grade.
I respect you, but I don’t respect your opinion.
Fair enough. I will take this moment to mention that Sharon Jones and the Dap kings released a Xmas record, and anyone tired of Mariah who still wants some more modern Xmas music would do well to check it out. She was amazing.
For me, it’s Felice Navidad. I was stationed in Panama for a bit and for the entire months of November and December it’s all they played on the radio. Like, constantly, on loop. I didn’t dislike the song until after the first dozen times I heard it.
Same philosophy as All I Want for Christmas, I think; I honestly haven’t heard the Mariah Carey song nearly enough times to supplant my loathing for Felice Navidad.
So many good songs get ruined by over exposure and it’s turned up to 11 for Christmas
In my house growing up, from the second we finished thanksgiving dinner until new years eve my mom played nothing but Xmas music in the house. Over and over and over again. All day. I hated Xmas music for years after I moved out. It’s mostly just tolerable these days, but ever since I changed jobs and temporarily moved back in with them in-between selling my previous house and bought a new one I now feel the same about the Beatles as I did Xmas music growing up. Because that’s ALL she listens to. Ever.
My mom had one of those multi-CD changers in her car containing the 4 Horsemen of the Acoustic Apocalypse: Mariah Carey, Kenny G, Michael Bolton, and Celine Dion. Strangely, one day they disappeared and “no one knew where they’d gone.”
