Christmas limericks

There once was a moment called Christmas
When a baby born was restless;
Born in order
to end our disorder
and my list to be thankful runs endless


There once was a wise man with Myrrh
Who caused quite a bit of a stirr
Bringing embalming oil
On Bethlehem's soil
That death may not have the last word


A donkey one, not relating to Christmas per se, but donkeys do appear in the Christmas story.

There once was a man called Balaam
Whose donkey brought him alarm
Where upon the wrong road
He cried out "Don't go!
The Lord gave me speech for no charm"

I recently finished a cover I've been working on for a bit - I hope you enjoy it!

Feistodon: indie artist Feist and metalheads Mastodon collaborate!

My wife Rachel doesn't like metal all that much, but she does like Feist. I think she's pretty cool too, having appeared quite a bit in one of my favourite bands Broken Social Scene. However, now she's joined the ranks of supercool, having joined forces with one of my metal loves Mastodon! Feist has covered a Mastodon song in her indie pop style, while Mastodon have covered a Feist song in their traditional bombastic heaviness.

And here's the results!





It's funny, the one that Feist performs ends up sounding pretty sinister, and the Mastodon performance is the nearest they've ever got to "happy metal"! I love it when very different styles come together and make something a little bit different in end product. Even Rach likes it :)
