I'm not, generally, a big fan of pop Christmas music. Most of it is pretty vapid and annoying. I especially dislike it when famous pop artists who dress and act all skanky all year long suddenly get all religious at Christmastime, when you have to sell a new holiday compilation CD. That, plus, how many versions of "Chestnuts Roasting" do we REALLY need?
Please.
But, I love it when artists (particularly LDS artists) write new Christmas songs, and revisit old ones in new ways.
For about the last three Christmases, I've taken moments here and there to record tracks for a Christmas tune I wrote (which still has no fixed title). Last night I pulled out the tracks and gave it a listen. I played with the mix just to see how everything would blend. I got to thinking that I could even finish it by time to release it for this holiday. Maybe. We'll see.
But, I got excited about it, anyway...
Come back often to hear about new songs and shows. Mark also has other sites and blogs, including his Dutch Oven blog: Mark's Black Pot and his LDS pop culture blog: MoBoy blog.
