Christmas Music, but not as you know it

[gothwalk]

One of my co-workers just set my Christmas MP3 playlist going while I was away from the machine. So as I came back in, they're sitting there, grinning slightly, as it winds its way toward the end of a nice instrumental version of "Away in a Manger". And I grinned to myself, because I know what's next on that playlist. "Turn it up, there", I said, going into the kitchen. Someone leaned over and turned it up, just in time for the first heavy guitar chords and Finnish to come roaring out of the speakers. Timo Rautinen & Trio Niskalaukaus' version of Tiernapojat*.

Teach 'em to mess with my machine...

* A rocked out version of a traditional Finnish mummer-like traditional play

Shall have to check that one out if I can find a copy.

I'm a fan of Manheim Steamroller and Trans-Siberian Orchestra myself for holiday tunes. And some of the really weird stuff, like Bob Rivers' Twisted Christmas, and Cheech & Chong's "Santa Claus and His Old Lady." :)

The Finnish thing sounds great! I wonder if I can find a copy...

And we love the Cheech and Chong thing!

I'm looking forward to playing the Xmas music this year... still almost a week to wait for us. :)
