To other fans reading this: I'm trying to put together a Christmas Is Interesting music video project. Would anybody out there like to help me? The verses are pretty much all movie footage from the various and sundry pop culture references in the lyrics, but for the chorus, I want to get footage of as many different people singing along as possible. You, your friends, your family, in front of any background that's Christmas-y, and or funny. Don't know if anybody here is interested, but if you are, feel free to email me at milkbonebeggar at yahoo dot com. Sprocket Nifty Christmas Special.

Just sing one octave lower and might be a lot easier ;) @Roman V.:

I was struggling very hard to get "Not About You." The only one I could really get well was Code Monkey.

The pathos of the piece is very apparent in the proffered middle finger shown to the camera and is only enhanced by the "f**k you." I have never felt the Christmas spirit so deftly expressed before.

If not, I'm sure someone already has. And if not, you should. Does it have to be the artist that submits the music to Jam legend? If not, I’m sure someone already has. And if not, you should.

(www.jamlegend.com) its a free online flash based guitar hero clone where any artist can submit their music. I think some of your tracks would make a great addition to their library. Give it a look and tell me what you think. Keep writing the good music JoCo! Since you are notoriously friendly towards CC projects have you had a chance to check out Jam Legend yet?

Potts Wed, 10 Dec 2008 17:30:28 +0000 http://www.jonathancoulton.com/?p=1047#comment-320690 Complete details of the ill-fated Monkey Shines sitcom can be found on Wikipedia. Quite possibly for a limited time only. The article currently states that the show is fictional, but we know that isn't true, now don't we? Also, I do believe in fairies. Is that so wrong? Besides, I suspect that someone may be even now hard at work recreating the lost episodes. Looks like JoCo can't be bothered with the snifter of fine brandy. I concur; put that stuff in your morning coffee instead. Complete details of the ill-fated Monkey Shines sitcom can be found on Wikipedia. Quite possibly for a limited time only.
