about

Tired of listening to the same Christmas classics year after year? Now you don't have to, thanks to Satanic Puppeteer Orchestra's absurd Christmas EP.

I don't detect anything particularly satanic about this good-natured band, nor are there any puppets in evidence. For that matter, it's not much of an orchestra. Just a mad scientist and his singing robot looking to confuse your Christmas blues.

If I had my druthers, the woozy version of "Jingle Bells" included here would be recognized as the definitive version of this oft - and I mean OFT - recorded standard. But I don't have my druthers. Who stole my druthers?!

Taking the advice of "Deck the Halls," I went up to Arsenio, Monty, and Carnegie, and slugged ‘em. POW! Right in their kissers. Surprisingly, their responses were not filled with the spirit of Christmas cheer. What a bunch of Scrooges!

The delicate "Climp Clomp the Christmas Horse" sounds seasonal, at least until an off-key robot starts singing about a horse that has nothing to do with Christmas.

"Abdominal Snowman" is a good example of a so-called 'novelty' song that is actually just a good song. If it wasn't a robot singing about a snowman working his abs, it'd be a critical fave. But smiling and laughing is NOT a legitimate response to art!

Don't miss the '70s space-age sounds of the Optigan keyboard on "Decorate the Christmas Tree," where we learn that putting something on a Christmas tree instantly makes it an ornament.

From that swinging sax (provided by John Roy of Unsteady) on "All I Want for Christmas," to the practical advice of "Just Buy a Gift Card," this whimsical winter land romp will be sure to spread Christmas cheer.

Move over Frosty. The holidays will never sound the same. Listen now, or yule be sorry! (Sorry.)
