Yes, it’s a week into December and I’ve decided it’s time to start with the Christmas shizz for this year. Some years we’ve taken a wide-eyed and innocent approach (I think that was the year we were four) and some years more of a Merry Fucking Christmas approach, but this year I think we’ll go with a Punk Rock Christmas, including this lovely album cover from Bing Crosby (signed!) and a tuneful welcome to the Yuletide from the Peanuts gang, via Journal of a Journalist.

Il Troubadore Klingon Music Project & Deserae the Bellydancing Wookiee
Yes, you read that right. Authentic Klingon Bellydance Music.
From their YouTube description:
Deserae dancing to an excerpt of the Shyriiwook Bellydance tune, “Muaarga” (Peace), as performed by the il Troubadore Klingon Music Project at the Viaduct Theater in Chicago (3 August 2012).
The Klingon Music Project is a real thing, as apparently is Deserae the bellydancing Wookiee and now they are both going viral. What can I say? She’s got the nous if not the Nad’s.
Friday WORK THROUGH THE PAIN Playlist
You know those times when it’s the last day of a long week and you stay up all night to get your work done for the editor who told you to have it done and then he isn’t even at work today and you’re still awake from yesterday but it’s fine, really, it’s fine.
Because you have this music to keep you going.
Gwen Stefani, Queen, Beastie Boys, New Kids on the Block, Joan Jett, Run DMC, Britney Spears, Michael Jackson, Nirvana and Offspring.
Of course.
Adeleney!
Suave, sophisticated, surgically preserved Gloria Trevi
Young, crazy Gloria Trevi, headbutting the camera, knocking the set over, and humping her way across the floor with a hand in her “pocket”.
Christina Aguilera, who may be an obnoxious person but who can sing like an angel, specifically Michael, because Michael fucking kicks ass.
P!nk, of course. God, I’ve got to get back into boxing.
House of Pain, the Beatles, Joan Jett, Cypress Hill, Rage Against the Machine
Soul Side In covering Pat Benatar. The video is tawdry, the cover is awesome.
If this playlist doesn’t get or keep you going, I’m afraid there’s some bad news: you’re clinically dead.
TGIF Duet: Kate Bush and Rowan Atkinson
Ladies and gentlemen, this is possibly Kate Bush‘s finest performance. As for Atkinson, he gives Bobby Bittman a run for his money, and Tom Jones better hang on to those panties while he can. This man is a clear contender for the tawdry crown of lounge lizardom.
There’s only one appropriate reaction to this, and Hillary Clinton knows what it is.
