Father Suckmas

Happy Holidays!

I just downloaded Father Christmas, Cary Brothers' new 3 track EP, and listened to most of it. What's that? Review time?

1 - Father Christmas (3:03)
Imagine what the Kinks would sound like if they had been born with severe birth defects. Like, missing arms and stuff. This sounds worse than that.

2 - O Holy Night (3:02)
The first twelve seconds suck, I can tell you that much. I couldn't really make out the rest, as I was in another room making a sandwich.

3 - Christmas Tree (3:13)
Didn't bother.

Is it worth $1.99 on iTunes? No. However, is it worth downloading off thepiratebay.org? Again, no.

Update

I was going through Cary's desk drawers the other day and found a gun.

This just in

According to an anonymous tip I received today, Cary Brothers is a holocaust denier. This news may come as a shock to some of you, but I called it years ago.

Take a look at this transcript of a conversation I had with guitarist Brandon Walters, in February 2006.

Brandon Walters: What do you think of that song "Blue Eyes?"
Jon Titterington: I think it's dangerous.
BW: What?
JT: If you really take a look at the lyrics, it's a rumination on this theory Cary has about a "Global Jewish Conspiracy".
BW: Un huh.
JT: No, I'm serious dude. The guy's super paranoid. He doesn't trust banks.
BW: Un huh.
JT: Between the two of us, he's totally a holocaust denier.
BW: Is that a tape recorder?

I'm tired of being the lone voice of reason in this town.
