Ain’t that the truth!?
(I know, I know. Ain’t is not a real word and I should be embarrassed about using it. I’m a a half a country girl and half a city girl and sometimes, the country half just demand to be heard.)
Usually, I’m the one who cries on Christmas. This is the month that I allow myself to get sentimental and everything. Seeing my presents. Getting my presents. Unwrapping my presents. Trying my presents on. Showing my presents off. Seriously, it touches my heart every time.
Enjoy!
At first, I thought this is was a Christmas video, just because of all the flashing lights. Then I actually watched the video and discovered that it’s actually taking place in a miniature disco bar.
But really, when it comes to disco, isn’t every day Christmas? I’ve always felt so. Most Christmas celebrations would probably be improved by platform shoes and a disco ball. Some people might toss a coke spoon in there but I don’t think you need cocaine to have a merry Christmas. If anything, President’s Day is your cocaine holiday. Christmas, on the other hand, is a opening presents sober holiday. At least, it is for me.
Rottingdean Bazaar are James Theseus Buck and Luke Brooks. They’re a British duo, specializing in surrealistic designs and fashions. This video, let’s just say, is very Rottingdean Bazaar.
This video is a nice throwback to the days when artists actually tried to do something interesting when it came to music videos. So many music videos now are just boring performance clips and, yes, they’re easy to write about. When you wake up at two in the morning and realize that you forgot to schedule a music video of the day before you fell asleep, it can sometimes be a relief to find a performance clip that you can just toss onto the site with only one word to go along with it. But sometimes, you want something more and that’s what this video delivers.
Enjoy!
Yay! It’s my favorite time of year!
And here, to get the month started, is Pentatonix with a cover of the 12 Days of Christmas One thing about the 12 Days of Christmas is that most of those gifts aren’t really that impressive. I mean, what am I going to do with a bunch of drummers drumming after the holidays? And do they just keep on drumming through the whole month? That’s going to get annoying.
I do like the diamond rings, though …. oh wait. They’re golden rings, aren’t they? For some reason, I always remember them as being diamond rings. Heh heh.
I do like Pentatonix, though I typically hate anything that’s a cappella. Like, I’ve always had this fear that I’ll be out somewhere and suddenly, an old timey barbershop quartet will appear out of nowhere and start singing and they’ll be really bad but I’ll be obligated to stand there and listen to them until they finally stop. That’s actually one of my number one fears. Don’t ask me why I have this fear, I just do. I’m also haunted by Bo Bice’s decision to go a cappella during the finale of America Idol because I think that decision led to him losing to Carrie Underwood. So, as you can see, I have my reasons for dreading a cappella in general.
But Pentatonix is pretty cool, I think. They’re the exception to the rule. Kind of like how folk music is the music of evil people, except for Bob Dylan and Arlo Guthrie.
Anyway, enjoy!

Happy birthday, Erin Nicole!
To be honest, the main reason that I picked this for today’s music video of the day is because Erin and I both love this song and it’s one that we’ve both listened to several times of the past few months. (When you’re basically stuck inside for the majority of the year, you really do come to appreciate good music.) Add to that, this song always makes me think of my sister, even if she isn’t listening to it with me. The sun is beautiful and so is she. As I always say, one of the best things about being involved with TSL is that I get to work with my sister. She’s always been there for me. She’s always put up with me, even when I was at my worse. I don’t know where I’d be without her.
This, of course, is a cover of a Beatles song. If you think you spotted The Cure’s Robert Smith in this video, you are correct. At the time this song was recorded (and this video made), Robert Smith was temporarily a member of the band. This video was filmed in Venice, which is a wonderful city that I hope I get to once again visit with everyone who I care about.
Enjoy!
