A jolly Christmas tune to celebrate the season!

Christmas Lightbulb in D

This is a band that I heard about sideways through my pal Dan Yost. I later mentioned to him that I found Shrimp Attack to be utterly awesome and asked how he’d heard of them, and he humbly admitted he’d been involved with the project in some way, but it was a sidebar to other stuff we were talking about at the time so I never pressed him on how he was involved. But regardless, it’s some terrific music. Why here’s a song now:

You can hear more Shrimp Attack music here on MySpace or you can visit the Shrimp Attack website here.

My good friend Richard Levinson has a new album out. He’s a very funny, very talented songwriter. His stuff has regaled me time and time again, and it’ll regale you too, unless you just totally suck as a person.

Here’s the details:

Richard Levinson’s “Unchartables Vol. I”
Recorded Live at The Sacred Fools Theater, Los Angeles

Tracks available at the iTunes Music Store

CD available at CD BABY

It’s hard to get Richard out of the room, but his songs are hard to get out of your head. They are always catchy, always funny, and always wonderful.
