I think we should all take a breather from these summer temps and enjoy a little Christmas in August. Why now? Well, just the thought of snow and a roaring fire in the fireplace makes you remember, just for the moment, what that feels like on one’s skin. Blast the AC while you are doing it, and let’s just hope we don’t blow the power grid like they did in a major portion of India these last few days. We are halfway through the summer, and the fall clothing will be in stores soon. I just can’t get behind that yet. Though, if you are in the mountains (or the Southern Hemisphere) I guess the thought of trying on sweaters might be comforting. But I digress.
Today Steve Poltz regales us with a warped tale of Christmas, as yet unreleased. Of course, Steve has a brand new album, Noineen Noiny Noin that just came out, but this song is not on it. And just because it has a Christmas theme, by no means it is safe to play with the kids around. Let this be fair warning, there is language within.
Of course, Steve Poltz is on the road, which is a pretty endless process. Tonight, though, you can catch him in all his celestial zaniness, as he will be performing live from The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf on Sunset and Argyle in Los Angeles, CA. Ya gotta buy a ticket to be a part of this special event which will be streamed on StageIt. There are more tour dates here. Music Fog loves us some Poltz…here is one of the tunes we recorded during the Spring Music Fog Marathon at Threadgill’s in March, The Windows Of Halifax.”
