The Unlikely 2015 Christmas Single

[artokh74]

During this week, I'll be posting a few X-mas themed songs as the Unlikely 2015 Christmas Single.
Here is the first track.  A sort of a self-parody more than anything. After all, my characters have a strong tendency to end up dead in my songs...

Very cool track, well done.
NB if you mark this as a festival submission, it should be added to the YuleFest jukebox :-)

Unfortunately, I can no longer add Soundcloud-hosted MP3s to the jukeboxes (I tried). I need a direct link to the MP3 file and companies like Soundcloud go to great lengths to prevent direct linking. I used to have a trick for finding the URL of the MP3 at Soundcloud but it no longer works - they must have changed something.

artokh74: If you attach your MP3 to your post or provide a direct link to an offsite-hosted file (alonetone is good), I'll be happy to add it to the YuleFest jukebox. But I can't add Soundcloud-hosted songs. Sorry.

Thanks for the tips guys.  I've had trouble recently uploading mp3's here on the server, apparently due to high file sizes (320 mp3s), so I figured in a hurry I'd just rather link for now than make a new another file with inferior quality.

Not really sure that this is the kind of song that most people would prefer to hear among all the joyful ones at x-mas time so maybe better leave it off the jukebox. This way it's only heard by people who've actually seen the title so they'll know what's coming.   

Some cool stuff in the Festive jukebox for sure.

Yep. this is a goody, goes pretty much hand in hand with my idea of Christmas.   Willie
