SNL, Julian Casablancas and Egg Nog Milkshakes.

Kick it

The strokes front man released one great Xmas tune in this upbeat cover. It's also widely available on Spotify, Itunes or whatever weirdo Russian website you steal music from.  Oh and yes, a non-original Christmas song. Shocking? Of course not. Surprising? Well in this instance a little. The song was recorded in 2009 from Julian Casablancas and the first known version was, that's right, it did sound familiar, Jimmy Fallon and crew on Saturday Night Live in 2000. Really? Yep, it's true.  Don't believe me ae? Well, take this;

Yes, well, sorry for the poor quality, but I didn't think you wanted to sit through Hulu advertisements for the true original. Anyway, there will be more from Julian and his band mates; The Strokes, in collaboration with none other than Cindy Lauper coming up this month. More on that in a later blog post.

BEHOLD!!!!! Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you, the Egg Nog Milkshake. What's that? Yes, I know there's no booze in it. After my visit today, I also know that a medium has six, count em, six hundred and eighty calories. However, what I didn't know up till a year ago is that the egg nog milkshake is the cure. The cure for what? Oh, I think you know. When you crawl out of bed at two o'clock on Sunday, or Tuesday, depending how messed up you are, this is the thing that will keep your heart beating. Trust me, would Johnny Xmas lie to you?

Alright, that's it for tonight, but coming up soon is reviews of ChristKindl, Chemically Imbalanced Theater's show; Scene's with Santa, and the results of my annual Mr. Xmas Beer World Championships. Stay tuned!
