Not Ep. 107: The 12 Interminable Days of Xmas: A Musical Extravaganza

Podcast: Play in new window | Download (Duration: 1:28:22 — 81.0MB)

Mark Lint and the PEL Orchestra present the longest, slowest, biggest, fattest, most surreal Christmas carol ever.

First Mark explains for a minute what this is (you can read it here), then off we go on a long, strange trip, with different verses of the holiday classic arranged in styles from baroque to folk to metal to disco.

Featuring Jonathan Segel (from Camper Van Beethoven; jonathansegel.com), comedian Adam Sank (adamsank.com), Al Baker (www.albaker.co.uk), Timo Carlier (soundcloud.com/carlier), Maxx Bartko (soundcloud.com/dotdot), Daniel Gustafsson, Jason Durso and Shannon Farrell, Kenn Busch and Jenny Green, Kylae Jordan, Rei Tangko, Greg Thornburg, WILSON, and comedian Alex Fossella (@afossella).

Coordinated and sung by Mark Lint (marklint.com).

Get the music-only version (i.e. without Mark's spoken intro) in audio form here; this is the link you will want to send around to torture and/or enlighten the masses.

Here's the YouTube version, with animations by Jason Durso using PEL art by Genevieve Arnold and Corey Mohler.

Make sure to buy one of our new 2015 wall calendars with Genevieve's art on it!

    This is fantastic. Just my cup of tea. Perhaps not quite at the level of the sublime Opus 1 of Justin Bieber (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QspuCt1FM9M) but still beautiful. In only wish I could download from Soundcloud. You made my Christmas.

    Thank you.

About The Partially Examined Life

The Partially Examined Life is a philosophy podcast by some guys who were at one point set on doing philosophy for a living but then thought better of it. Each episode, we pick a text and chat about it with some balance between insight and flippancy. You don’t have to know any philosophy, or even to have read the text we’re talking about to (mostly) follow and (hopefully) enjoy the discussion

Become a PEL Citizen!

As a PEL Citizen, you’ll have access to a private social community of philosophers, thinkers, and other partial examiners where you can join or initiate discussion groups dedicated to particular readings, participate in lively forums, arrange online meet-ups for impromptu seminars, and more. PEL Citizens also have free access to podcast transcripts, guided readings, episode guides, PEL music, and other citizen-exclusive material. Click here to join.
