Saturday Music for Christmas and New Year's Eve

THE FUTURIST! presents a double final dose of Saturday Music for 2009:

THE FUTURIST! really really enjoys The McGarrigle Christmas Hour CD. It may very well be his favorite Christmas musical recording. This is a rare thing for THE FUTURIST! to opine on, because he really hates Christmas music. On the recording is a track sung by Rufus Wainwright which is thrillingly backed up by a band of sorts. Unable to offer that same experience, THE FUTURIST! presents an acoustic version of a Christmas song about unconditional love and the materialism of "presents" at the holiday season.

Listen:


SPOTLIGHT ON CHRISTMAS
performed by Rufus Wainwright


And for New Year's Eve, THE FUTURIST! offers this tune with an inquisitive title ...
the answer need not be uttered. Whatever you do, THE FUTURIST! doesn't really care ... he just hopes you won't be depressed. Just remember, there are a lot of "you" out there.

Listen:


WHAT ARE YOU DOING NEW YEAR'S EVE?
performed by Nancy Wilson

What am I doing on New Years?

On the eve, I'll eliminate some of the year's last bullshit. My work never ends, to be sure.

On the day... shall I take a day off?

OH, Eliminator, do take the day off. But, you must fill THE FUTURIST! in on the bullshit that must be shoveled on the Eve.

This is from an Ultra Lounge CD! I have another album from this collection. Very groovy.
