Brother Kyle has recently read Cormac McCarthy’s The Road and has come away from it bummed.
A couple of weeks ago, Brother Mike mentioned this song as a vaccination against grumpy. I’ve got a handful of those myself. Here are a couple:
So… what are you listening to?
I like the dark, weird man that I am. But thank you.
I’m listening to Katie Melua. Or was a couple minutes ago.
This rockin’ music cheers me up, but lyrically, this might be a downer:
The Clean, “Getting Older”:

Maybe Arto Lindsay would be more soothing (warning: I like the artist whose work forms the basis for the video, but to some, there may be some mildly disturbing images herein):

Maybe I suck at this.
Jaybird signal!
So this came up on shuffle just now:

If these don’t shake you out of one kind of funk, and into another, I can’t help you.
Jaybird signal! (Sorry dude! Sometimes two links are fine, and sometimes they aren’t, and I have no idea why)….
I was just listening to the album with this and this, which both seem dark place-appropriate.
We need new superlative for that Muppet video. “Space awesome” doesn’t do it justice.
These are merely space awesome:

As is this: the most cheerfully over the top coffee commercial ever made.

If I ever go to the doctor for a serious ailment and he prescribes a citrus and cocos nucifera concoction, to be consumed in toto, there will be a serious malpractice suit.
Also, I can’t quite tell due to vid quality – I think the witch doctor is holding a mask of some sort, but for second I thought he had Sgt. Floyd Pepper’s head on a stick, which was sort of disturbing.
Can’t forget this:

The Muppets was awesome.
Thanksgiving is over, so Christmas music comes out. One of my favorite Christmas albums is Squirrel Nut Zippers “Christmas Caravan.”

I’m with RR – time for Christmas music. We’ve got a big collection of Christmas music (including “Christmas Caravan”). For me Harry Connick Jr. does it best. This one is my favorite:

This one gets some play in my household around Christmastime:
