Stars Of The Lid And The Refinement Of The Decline
The quietest of the quiet. The softest soft. Music, which can only be enjoyed as ambience—ambience of a dreamless sleep. Sounds, which can only imply; which exist in a rare place between white noise and music. Impossible to analyze, yet impossible not to feel something. A trip, a thought or both. Music to write to. Music to think to. Music to love to. Formless. Perfect for a movie. Almost nothing but absolutely something.

The Ventures Christmas Album By The Ventures
Why spend your Christmas in the snow when you can spend it on the beach? If you're from the Midwest like me, it's sort of easier said than done. If you can't afford a plane ticket, you may have to travel via music. That's where The Ventures Christmas Album comes into play. The Ventures are the premier surf rock band. I'm sure you've heard them a million times. Along with artists like Dick Dale & The Deltones and The Beach Boys, their influence on the genre is incalculable. Need more context? Ask for "context" in your letter to Santa Claus. If you've been naughty and that's not possible, you can just click here.
On The Ventures Christmas Album, The Ventures interpret 12 Christmas classics including "Jingle Bell(s) (rock,)" "Frosty The Snowman" and "We Wish You A Merry Christmas." The interpretations are pretty cool—and pretty quintessential Ventures. The only truly "Christmas-y" thing about them are sleigh bells, which were added later. Otherwise, it's pretty much straight-up surf rock. This makes it tolerable for holiday music cynics who still don't want to be seen as total Scrooges.
Hey—Hey you! That's right—YOU. Have yourself a good holiday season.
