IT'S SABERTOOTH UNICORN BABY

By -


There's a new SABERTOOTH UNICORN xmas album coming up, if you're following this blog for a while you know why we write the band's name in all caps, and use a shorter THE TOOTH as a sign of our undying love for these guys.

Black Friday, the first single is called, that kicks off with a Blondie't guitar riff (sounds familiar?) and lyrics about frantically buying stuff ('a TV as big as a wall') to end up with 'more plastic under the tree'. It's loud, it's from the heart, it's that Pure Uncut TOOTH Emotion baby:

Their Insta over there.

Big question: is Black Friday a part of the Christmas periode? I don't think so. So to me this ain't no Christmas song, despite the santa on the cover

Black Friday is, along the way, linked to the Christmas period because that is the time (they say) to buy your Christmas presents. As THE TOOTH sings; the day to buy more plastic stuff for under the tree. So yeah, tis a Christmas song.

Pitchfork's 50 Best Christmas Songs

Read it and weep HERE . Sure, one of the perks of making a Best Of-list is that someone else can disagree with it. But this Pitchfork-list is so, as CU tweeted, uninspired it's getting me nauseous. There are non-Christmassongs in the list. Songs that are overplayed. Two versions of the same song. And Low's Little Drummer Boy instead of Just Like Christmas? Really? REALLY? Let's get a few things straight. When making a Best Christmas Songs-list, you need to set ground rules. Do hymns (O Come, O Come Emmanuel), traditional Christmassongs (O Tannenbaum) and pop songs compete with each other? Do you choose original versions or best versions? And, maybe the most important thing, what does your (play)list achieve; to heighten spirits, to have plain fun? Pitchfork's list just f's around, there's no real idea behind it. So, whatabout us, CAGG-team and you, readers, make an alternative Best Of-list? Songs that are criminally overlooked by Pitchfork. Pop songs, rock ...

Pondertone, in spite of it all

CAGG Team loves to feature Dutch artists making Christmas music - Clean Pete , The Heck , Rick Buur , Non-Traditionals , Fay Lovsky ...and that's just a handful of fellow Dutchies that shone on this blog. We posted a lot of Pondertone (Americana from the city of Utrecht) on CAGG. The songs have depth and a clear message. For these dark days, we were kinda hopin' that Patrick & the guys would release a new addition to their impressive Xmas discography. But no. Instead there is a compilation of all seasonal songs. Patrick Tersteeg (= Mr Pondertone) wrote an extensive blogpost about the ins and outs of his tracks, and leaves us a not so cheerful message: "Anyone hoping for a new Pondertone Christmas song this year will be disappointed. I'm sorry, I don't have anything to say this year that I haven't said before. Pondertone's 'new' Christmas album is literally old wine in a new bottle. For the artwork I used sketches that I found too depres...
