24 Dec 2013: Foghead Christmas Card

[Big Fingers McGee]

Renee is soliciting requests for this. Presumably on 12/24, but knowing her it will be on January 8.

Soliciting requests but not "Foghead greetings", I assume. Last year she just did a rather generic set of 10 Xmas songs that we generally slammed as a disappointment, iirc.

Last year's set, which barely made it onto the second page of comments, was at least different - it seemed to be aimed at the over 80 crowd. Andy Williams, Harry Simeone Chorale, Brenda Lee, Bobby Helms, Burl Ives, Nat King Cole, etc.

Here's a comment:

I think these songs are so far out of her experience, it must be a memory of her parents or grandparents!

apparently she DID ask for Foghead greetings, so kudos on that.

Been on FB where the reaction has been favorable (ecept for SmashPumps and that song #8 that nobody had heard before).

BOSes from me to Pretenders, Ramones and Pogues/Kirsty.

The music itself was decent, but the 'cards' varied between weakly weird and just weak.
