My headphones melted.  You suck.

Back in my day, ladies dressed up to go to church.  Especially if they were going to be up on stage.  My grandmothers would be scandalized.

Those tramps are practically hippies.

I'm sure it's a real audition tape.  I had a friend who was as tone deaf as that guy, and he thought he was a good singer.  Even when he heard himself recorded he just didn't think he was as bad as everyone said.

The linked story contains another link - to an interview with the singer. He's actually an accomplished arranger and producer, but did this recording on purpose as a joke.

My mom and I laugh our asses off at some of the getups we've seen in church. My dad banned my family to the other side of the church because we'd be so bad while he was trying to say his rosary. He says that we should commend them for coming to mass and not be judgemental about appearances. Whatev. He was trying to make me feel bad about being a vain person with sporadic attendance. Such is Catholicism.

You should see the beautiful clothes I got Sofakid for church. So many stores going tits-up...it was a steal to buy some hideously expensive shit at bargain prices.

Santa is done doing what Santa does. I need to smoke some ganja.

You know, we're spoiled by the existence of mass media.  Recorded audio changed the world.  There was a time not too long ago where the only music was whatever the locals could whip up themselves, and even if you got some sheet music for a decent composition, you were limited to the skill of the local players.  Sure, they had the wax phonograph, but they sounded like shit, and that's why Thaddeus Cahill invented the telharmonium and refused to let it be recorded, and why now that they're all gone there is no one alive that knows what they sounded like, but they weighed 200 tons and transmitted music over phone lines to paper speakers.  But I digress...

My point is, I'm very glad I live in an age where I have access to entertainment from around the world, and don't have to settle for the random quality that a church does based off of whatever members happen to be available.

How the fuck did I miss this at Xmas?  Is this a [Santa]hat?
