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!

December 30, 2014 at 7:27 amThis 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.
