Wow, how nice. I think I will play that for my niece this Christmas and we can silly dance around the room.
December 10th, 2007 at 12:58 pm
Really excited about this project. Looking forward to the downloads so I can play some of these on the radio come Christmas eve!
December 10th, 2007 at 3:09 pm
Holy CRAP that sounds very influenced by The Residents. Can’t wait to download that.
(And here is to hoping Danielson goes that direction for their next full length…)
December 10th, 2007 at 3:14 pm
This is great! Thanks for the Christmas gift. I blogged about it on my site…
December 10th, 2007 at 3:16 pm
I love me some xmas songs. Hopefully they will be ready for download before the weekend. I have caroling in the works.
December 10th, 2007 at 8:19 pm
I’m listening to this for about the 5th time and it’s STILL freaking me out…I love it!
Can’t wait for the rest.
Thanks,
Daniel.

So you saved the best for first I see.
December 11th, 2007 at 1:32 pm
Awesome! I cannot wait for the Woven Hand song!
December 11th, 2007 at 2:05 pm
Awesome! That first track made me want to be 7 years old again. Looking forward to more songs being posted

December 12th, 2007 at 2:34 pm
O Sounds Familyre family…I love you.
All three of these songs are great. Can’t wait to hear the rest.
December 13th, 2007 at 8:27 pm
But I didn’t get you anything…
December 13th, 2007 at 11:53 pm
Thank you. We’re only 4 songs into this and I think that it just might be the best damn Christmas album ever! I can’t wait to see what other goodies await. Is the Singing Mechanic participating?
December 14th, 2007 at 2:06 am
Awesome.
December 14th, 2007 at 5:37 pm
Oh, my yes! This is beautiful crazy music to make me joy joy joyful!
Dayspring From on High is stuck stuck in my brain, this is a good thing.

I was so excited about crazy joy that I forgot my small problem. I downloaded the album cover (beautiful!), but when I printed it, it was huge. Unless I find a mega-jewel case eight inches square, it will not fit into a jewel case. I will try to make it small, but I am sadly not a geek. What did I do wrong?
December 15th, 2007 at 1:50 pm
Paula,
Have you tried downloading the cover in the last day or two? When we first uploaded the image, there was a bug that created the results you described (printing HUGE album covers). It should be fixed now. When you click on the image, it should download a PDF of the cover with proper dimensions onto your desktop .
December 15th, 2007 at 6:59 pm
Nice tunes so far! Please tell me Wovan Hand is participating in this? That’s all I want for Christmas…
December 15th, 2007 at 11:12 pm
I’ve decided that Leopulde’s offering must be exactly what Sufjan means when he speaks of that “creepy Christmas feeling.” I don’t think I’ve ever heard a jolly holiday song that so much made me in fear for my life…. in a good way, though!
I’m very thankful for ya’ll’s brilliant endeavour. Every blessing to ya’ll into the holidays! Thank you so much for bringing us, your loyal listeners, these little gifts!
December 16th, 2007 at 3:58 am
Holy cow! That Leopulde song is awesome and my favorite so far. I can’t wait to hear more from him/them?
December 16th, 2007 at 4:13 am
Wow. Thanks!
…but I would GLADLY have paid for this…
December 16th, 2007 at 12:23 pm
This is the perfect gift! THANKS so much for sharing your amazing CHRISTMAS gift with all of the world.
December 16th, 2007 at 7:36 pm
Thank you so much for these wonderful gifts. I have been looking forward to each new day for the next song to be available. What a great way to get into the holiday spirit.
Merry CHRISTmas to all!
