Back in December 2005, garage punk and power pop luminary Gentleman Jesse Smith and Die Slaughterhaus Records owner Mark Naumann scrambled to get a Christmas 7-inch out in time for the holidays.
They failed.
"The team of me and Mark just isn't a very productive one," Smith laughs. "Mark slept on it a little and the band totally missed our deadline to have the song to him."
The record's sleeves didn't show up until months later. As a result, it's the only Gentleman Jesse vinyl release that's never demanded a repress. Christmas songs come a dollar a dozen in December when people actually enjoy, or at least tolerate, the seasonal cheer. A Christmas record that comes out after the holiday doesn't stand a chance. Want proof? Even though only 500 copies were pressed three years ago, the release still sits on shelves in pretty much any record store in town.
That's not to say the songs are bad by any means. The record is a split single between the long dead Gentleman Jesse and His Men moniker, and Fever B (a.k.a. Brian Hermosillo of Donny Denim, the Fevers and the Sweet Faces). On the a-side Gentleman Jesse's "Christmas Hangover" is a concise, barreling anthem that counters a scaled down intro with busy licks and holiday cheer. On the flip-side Fever B's "Down with Christmas" is a primitive, anti-holiday mantra that builds on the grooves of gritty rock 'n' roll.
Both numbers fit perfectly as opposite sides of a very catchy single. But bad timing has kept it from becoming notable. "The records showed up on Christmas eve eve.," Smith adds. "We had them in time to give one to my parents without a cover and that was about it."
This year there's plenty of time before Christmas, and still plenty of Gentleman Jesse's "Christmas Hangover" to be had.

Back in December 2005, garage punk and power pop luminary Gentleman Jesse Smith and Die Slaughterhaus Records owner Mark Naumann scrambled to get a Christmas 7-inch out in time for the holidays.
They failed.
"The team of me and Mark just isn't a very productive one," Smith laughs. "Mark slept on it a little and the band totally missed our deadline to have the song to him."
The record's sleeves didn't show up until months later. As a result, it's the only Gentleman Jesse vinyl release that's never demanded a repress. Christmas songs come a dollar a dozen in December when people actually enjoy, or at least tolerate, the seasonal cheer. A Christmas record that comes out after the holiday doesn't stand a chance. Want proof? Even though only 500 copies were pressed three years ago, the release still sits on shelves in pretty much any record store in town.
That's not to say the songs are bad by any means. The record is a split single between the long dead Gentleman Jesse and His Men moniker, and Fever B (a.k.a. Brian Hermosillo of Donny Denim, the Fevers and the Sweet Faces). On the a-side Gentleman Jesse's "Christmas Hangover" is a concise, barreling anthem that counters a scaled down intro with busy licks and holiday cheer. On the flip-side Fever B's "Down with Christmas" is a primitive, anti-holiday mantra that builds on the grooves of gritty rock 'n' roll.
Both numbers fit perfectly as opposite sides of a very catchy single. But bad timing has kept it from becoming notable. "The records showed up on Christmas eve eve.," Smith adds. "We had them in time to give one to my parents without a cover and that was about it."
This year there's plenty of time before Christmas, and still plenty of Gentleman Jesse's "Christmas Hangover" to be had.

For the handful of you not already been bored to tears with the ongoing saga of CL's turbulent excursion through the wondrous world of bankruptcy, I offer more holiday reading. The Chicago Reader reports that several employees at that paper got pink slips the week before Christmas.
CLI has suffered ever since the sale, and its cost-cutting hasn't spared the Reader: Six more layoffs last Thursday reduced this paper's editorial staff to 17; it was 38 when the old owners sold Eason the paper.
At the same time, our sister Loaf in Tampa cut some folks as well, including three in editorial, as editor David Warner explains:
The options we face are grim: If we don’t streamline and refocus our newsroom operations, we won’t survive.
Cheered up yet, everybody? The Charlotte Loaf didn't escape the ax, either; some remaining employees were asked to work fewer hours. And our Washington City Paper has also lost a couple of bodies, as reported in the latest tome by Atlanta Mag's own Steve Fennessy. In fact, for the first time, Steve – an ex-CLer himself – takes direct aim at company president Ben Eason:
One thing he did not express in our discussions, nor has he in any public way to his own employees, is a sense of shame or even regret in presiding over the dismantling of local institutions. Nor has he acknowledged the human toll his decisions have exacted on his employees, who with every week, it seems, grow fewer in number.
Finally, if you haven't already had your fill of schadenfreude at our expense, you may also enjoy this essay by longtime Loaf contributor and former editor Cliff Bostock:
The fact is that practically no existing print publications have made a successful transition to digital presence. Almost all publications, regardless of web presence, have suffered huge losses in staff and income.

The restaurant was doing a brisk business, with a large number of people apparently deciding against turkey in favor of banh trang cuon, the work-intensive dish that requires diners to make their own rice-paper wraps with a selection of ingredients. Wayne's mom and I demurred on the ordeal, but he ordered the version that includes lemongrass-flavored beef wrapped in wild betal leaves.
We started with the apple-green mango salad with grilled shrimp and roated peanuts (above), probably my favorite dish of the evening, and some fried shrimp with a lividly colored but better-than-average sweet sauce. I settled for a traditional bun dish with roasted pork, shrimp and tofu over vermicelli. Wayne's mom ordered the delicious shaken beef.

string(2561) "Beloved Atlanta performer Libby Whittemore brings her cabaret act – and loyal fan base – back to Actor's Express for Ho Ho Home for the Holidays and A Connie Sue Day Christmas from Dec. 6-21. For years Whittemore honed the show with longtime music director Robert Strickland at the now closed club Libby's, A Cabaret. A self-described "Christmas idiot," Whittemore sings secular holiday standards in the first act, and in the second half takes the stage as her high-haired alter ego Connie Sue Day, "the 31st Lady of Country Music." Here, she lists some of her essential Christmas songs from the show, in addition to "Have Yourself a Very Merry Christmas."
1. "Christmas Time is Here": "In the first part of the show I talk about when I was little and my family traditions, so I sing this from the TV special 'A Charlie Brown Christmas.' Every time you bring up memories from childhood, it's funny. Every year I try to watch 'A Charlie Brown Christmas' and 'Rudolph, The Red-Nosed Reindeer,' and I definitely watch White Christmas."
2. "Santa Baby": "I don't like any of the Christmas novelty songs, like 'Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer,' except for 'Santa Baby.' Eartha Kitt definitely put her own stamp on it. I'm not trying to do a better version than her, I'm just trying to do it justice. It's Eartha Kitt, for God's sake."
3. "Hard Candy Christmas": "It's from The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas and seems to be a crowd pleaser whenever Connie Sue does it. Connie Sue especially likes to do the song she wrote, 'Twelve Days of a White Trash Christmas.' Connie Sue's show is the same it's been for the past four years. I try to change it and people get upset. So Connie Sue will definitely be wearing her Mrs. Claus outfit."
4. "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree": "The last Christmas show I did at the club was bittersweet because we had a lot of great audiences, including people who'd made reservations months in advance to be there. 'Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree' is the last song Connie Sue does, and people like to sing along with that one, especially that night."
5. "The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire)": "The arrangement Robert has done of 'The Christmas Song' has some key changes that make it hard to do, but it's not necessarily a hard song to sing. Honestly, when you've done this as long as I have, you figure out the ones that aren't hard to sing. When you're in your twenties, you want to show off the notes you can hit. At my age, you want to just figure out the ones you can do three nights a week.""

string(1612) "Julian Koster isn't a carpenter. But if you invite him to your house, he'll show you how he makes a saw sing.
As one might expect from the man behind the machines that make up the Music Tapes, he believes the tools have minds of their own. Saws aren't made to sing, they're encouraged. Using a child's violin bow, Koster encourages his saws to burst into song by patting them gently.
Koster will take his singing saws on a 26-city, invitation-only caroling tour this month. Those who e-mail him in advance will get an at-home serenade of saw--sung Christmas tunes. "I just thought caroling was a really wonderful human tradition," says Koster, infatuated with "the idea of a knock on the door, and this kind of music winding its way around your neighborhood or your town."
Koster formerly played his saws, banjo and other instruments in the Athens-based indie outfit Neutral Milk Hotel. In the Music Tapes, he sings, saws and provides off-beat accompaniment with machines like a television set he's appropriately named Static, and the 7-foot-tall metronome.
Koster says his saws are just like human singers, each with a unique voice. He likes the rusty old-school variety, but admits a fondness for newer models as well. "One of my favorite singers is named Stanley Thrifty," Koster says. "That saw's got a beautiful voice, really bell-like."
The only drawback is that he keeps meeting new ones. "I'm probably gonna end up with a house full of saws," Koster says. "And it'll never get old because every saw I meet sings different, so you have a new voice to play with. And there's nothing better than that.""

But if you invite him to your house, he'll show you how he makes a saw sing.
As one might expect from the man behind the machines that make up the Music Tapes, he believes the tools have minds of their own. Saws aren't made to sing, they're encouraged. Using a child's violin bow, Koster encourages his saws to burst into song by patting them gently.
Koster will take his singing saws on a 26-city, invitation-only caroling tour this month. Those who e-mail him in advance will get an at-home serenade of saw--sung Christmas tunes. "I just thought caroling was a really wonderful human tradition," says Koster, infatuated with "the idea of a knock on the door, and this kind of music winding its way around your neighborhood or your town."
Koster formerly played his saws, banjo and other instruments in the Athens-based indie outfit Neutral Milk Hotel. In the Music Tapes, he sings, saws and provides off-beat accompaniment with machines like a television set he's appropriately named Static, and the 7-foot-tall metronome.
Koster says his saws are just like human singers, each with a unique voice. He likes the rusty old-school variety, but admits a fondness for newer models as well. "One of my favorite singers is named Stanley Thrifty," Koster says. "That saw's got a beautiful voice, really bell-like."
The only drawback is that he keeps meeting new ones. "I'm probably gonna end up with a house full of saws," Koster says. "And it'll never get old because every saw I meet sings different, so you have a new voice to play with. And there's nothing better than that."

"A Muppet Family Christmas" from 1987 deserves note as the only special to feature "crossover" appearances from the four major Muppet franchises: "Sesame Street," "The Muppet Show," "Fraggle Rock" and (ugh) "Muppet Babies."

Just when you start wondering if there's maybe some other holiday the Muppets could pile on, a new holiday special airs tonight, Dec. 17 on NBC. A Muppets Christmas: Letters to Santa features appearances from "The Sopranos" Tony Sirico and Steve Schirripa, "30 Rock's" Jane Krakowski and Uma Thurman, among others. There's a clip edited to show the Muppets rocking out to the Beatles-esque "Glad All Over" performed the Dave Clark Five, which has presumably has nothing to do with Christmas and may not even be in the special. Still fun, though:
Judging from this clip, "A Muppets Christmas: Letters To Santa" also includes my favorite of the "new generation" puppets, Pepe the King Prawn, whom you can check out singing "We Wish You a Merry Christmas" with talk show host Craig Ferguson."

Some of the Jim Henson holiday specials include the "Emmet Otter's Jug-Band Christmas" from 1977; "John Denver and the Muppets: A Christmas Together" from 1979 (hey, we had that album), The Muppet Christmas Carol theatrical film (with Michael Caine as Scrooge) from 1992; and one of my favorites, It's a Very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie (with Joan Cusack as the villain) from 2002. "A Muppet Family Christmas" from 1987 deserves note as the only special to feature "crossover" appearances from the four major Muppet franchises: "Sesame Street," "The Muppet Show," "Fraggle Rock" and (ugh) "Muppet Babies." Incidentally, you can check out some of Jim Henson's actual puppets at an exhibit currently running at Center for Puppetry Arts.
Just when you start wondering if there's maybe some other holiday the Muppets could pile on, a new holiday special airs tonight, Dec. 17 on NBC. A Muppets Christmas: Letters to Santa features appearances from "The Sopranos" Tony Sirico and Steve Schirripa, "30 Rock's" Jane Krakowski and Uma Thurman, among others. There's a clip edited to show the Muppets rocking out to the Beatles-esque "Glad All Over" performed the Dave Clark Five, which has presumably has nothing to do with Christmas and may not even be in the special. Still fun, though:
Judging from this clip, "A Muppets Christmas: Letters To Santa" also includes my favorite of the "new generation" puppets, Pepe the King Prawn, whom you can check out singing "We Wish You a Merry Christmas" with talk show host Craig Ferguson.

In Christmas movies, the spirit of the season inevitably trumps the personal conflicts that bedevil the characters. Arnaud Desplechin’s A Christmas Tale feels like a yuletide miracle in reverse: Christmas remains in the background, no match for the wrenching problems yet stubborn togetherness of the Vuillard family.
Matriarch Junon (Catherine Deneuve, the de facto first lady of French cinema) discovers that she has a terminal illness and a transplant may be the only means of saving her. Two possible donors may be her alcoholic, contentious middle son Henri (Mathieu Almaric) and her troubled teenaged grandson Paul (Emile Berling). Any transplant carries the risk of “graft vs. host” disease, in one of the film’s many medical metaphors for the paradoxes of family life. Can’t live with them, can’t live without their bone marrow."

The holidays can be a tough nut to crack. The same traditions that give the season its cozy familiarity — Christmas carols, Rudolph, pine trees — sometimes start to feel a bit, well, stale. If I were a Bravo reality TV judge, I might even call it (gasp!) a "one note."
Lucky for Christmas, the innovative holiday pageant Phos Hilaron has saved it from elimination (so to speak). Greek for "gladdening light," Phos Hilaron draws on many centuries worth of faith-inspired art and music. The performance art production includes video by local video artist and editor Matt Gilbert; a 32-voice choir from Georgia Tech’s Chamber Singers; world music with indigenous strings and percussion from Asheville musicians and Free Planet Radio; and highlights artwork by Modigliani, Gaugin, Dürer, Picasso, Chagall and others.
Watcha gon' do 'bout that, Tiny Tim?

string(3370) "If you didn't get your fill of chocolate at Halloween, several adventurous brewers are making it easy to get your chocolate fix at the same time you get your beer fix. Germans have long enjoyed chocolate with their beer, but since the appearance of the Reinheitsgebot in 1516, they haven't been permitted to put chocolate in their beer. Dogfish Head brewer Sam Calagione's disdain for the Reinheitsgebot is well-documented, and he has been working with molecular archaeologist Dr. Patrick McGovern at the University of Pennsylvania to create beers made with ingredients found in ancient alcoholic beverages, such as honey, saffron, chrysanthemum flowers, and muscat grapes.
When McGovern came to Calagione with evidence of a fermented beverage from Central America dating to 1200 B.C. that was made from cacao, he didn't hesitate to take up the challenge, even though the recipe also called for ancho chilies and annatto (an aromatic tree seed). This is pretty much the kind of thing that he lives for. The result is Theobroma ("food of the gods"), an intriguing blend of malt, spice, and faint chocolate notes that is surprisingly sophisticated for a beverage inspired by a primitive Mesoamerican elixir. My only complaint is that it is not very chocolatey. Close your eyes and remember Necco wafers, and you will get a sense of the dry, cocoa-powder-like flavor. But what really stands out are the chilies and annatto. They bring a soft, warm burn and nutmeg-like spiciness that plays off the sweetness imparted by the use of honey. Hints of nut and smoke add to the complexity. The exotic aromas and flavors and dry, tart finish make this an ideal aperitif.
Calagione is not the only one experimenting with chocolate in beer. Brewery Ommegang in Cooperstown, N.Y., which produces Belgian-style ales, came out with its Chocolate Indulgence Stout last year, and it proved popular enough to release again this year. The recipe has been tweaked somewhat and only for the better. Last year's version had a definite metallic finish that was off-putting, but the newest version is solid all the way through. It pours a velvety black with a thin ring of clingy foam. Roasted coffee, chocolate, raisins, and a bit of smoke are evident in the aroma. The taste is of strong black coffee, baker's chocolate, vanilla, dark fruits, and an herbal bite of anise. The mouthfeel is smooth and bright, with a lingering bitterness, and the gentle carbonation is appropriate for the style. Chocolate Indulgence is a fantastic sipper – rich, malty aroma, warming alcohol, and a complex bittersweet flavor.
Now, if you are looking for the alcoholic equivalent of a Snickers bar, then Sam Adams Chocolate Bock is your beer. Part of the Boston Beer Company's Extreme Beer series, it certainly satisfies in the extreme chocolate department. The aroma is full of roasted malt, coffee, licorice, chocolate, and maple. Silky and slick on the tongue, Chocolate Bock delivers flavors of cake-like chocolate, nut, and a malted lactose suggestive of Whoppers candy. The sweetness is balanced with some herbal bitterness and a solid carbonation that comes through in the tingly finish and lingering roasted bitterness. While it lacks the earthy malt character of a traditional bock, this is a delicious dessert beer that delivers plenty of chocolatey goodness without being overly sweet or heavy."

Talking Head - I'm dreaming of a chocolate Christmas Article
Wednesday November 26, 2008 12:04 AM EST
If you didn't get your fill of chocolate at Halloween, several adventurous brewers are making it easy to get your chocolate fix at the same time you get your beer fix. Germans have long enjoyed chocolate with their beer, but since the appearance of the Reinheitsgebot in 1516, they haven't been permitted to put chocolate in their beer. Dogfish Head brewer Sam Calagione's disdain for the... |

During the Christmases of my childhood, I always enjoyed advent calendars and the daily ritual of opening a little door to reveal a new surprise for each day of December until the 25th. Taking the advent calendar as inspiration, this month I'll offer some tongue-in-cheek holiday blog entries, with the idea that clicking on, say, embedded video or "For the rest of this entry" lines are the online equivalent to opening a cardboard calendar window. First up is Invasion: Christmas Carol at Dad's Garage, which is the only version of the Scrooge story where you may hear a word like "bacne." Or "turduckephant."
The Christmas Carol satire rejiggers the “invasion” concept the theater used in last year’s Invasion: Our Town. Both shows turn a theatrical classic upside down by the addition of a mid-show “invader” who’s not only new to the text, but hasn’t been seen by the rest of the cast, who have to incorporate the visitor on the fly. Dad’s likes to draft current or defunct roles from its long-running improvised soap opera Scandal! as the invader, and on Christmas Carol’s opening night Scott Warren played the Ghost of Christmas Past as a blustering barbarian in a loin clout. The nightly invader, isn’t the most surprising aspect of Invasion, however, but the casting of Ebenezer Scrooge himself. I’ll put the detail behind the cut to avoid spoilers, although the end of Dad’s trailer for the show gives it away:

The seven-disc collection includes materials from other media, such as the two theatrical films Bean: The Movie from 1999 and Mr. Bean's Holiday from 2005 and the 26-episode "Mr. Bean: The Animated Series." "Mr. Bean's" seventh episode, "Merry Christmas, Mr. Bean" from 1992 features this three-minute gem involving a nativity scene, which makes my wife and daughter both laugh out loud:
Mr. Bean's scarcity of dialogue makes him accessible to children and non-English speakers, but cuts Atkinson off from his flair for verbal humor. Prior to being Bean, Atkinson created one of television's most scathing characters, Edmund Blackadder, in the various "Blackadder" series through the 1980s. Atkinson plays not just one person, but a line of unlucky schemers througout English history. "The Blackadder Christmas Carol" gives the premise a delightful twist: in Victorian England, Ebenezer Blackadder is a kind, saintly soul, but glimpses of his past lives convince him that "Bad guys have all the fun" and the nasty strain in the Blackadder DNA takes over."

Mr. Bean: The Ultimate Collection, which goes on sale today, is one of those unbelievably exhaustive DVD sets that gathers seemingly every Bean appearance and piece of pop ephemera in existence beginning with the original 14 episodes of England's "Mr. Bean" series, which aired from 1990-1995. The seven-disc collection includes materials from other media, such as the two theatrical films Bean: The Movie from 1999 and Mr. Bean's Holiday from 2005 and the 26-episode "Mr. Bean: The Animated Series." "Mr. Bean's" seventh episode, "Merry Christmas, Mr. Bean" from 1992 features this three-minute gem involving a nativity scene, which makes my wife and daughter both laugh out loud:
Mr. Bean's scarcity of dialogue makes him accessible to children and non-English speakers, but cuts Atkinson off from his flair for verbal humor. Prior to being Bean, Atkinson created one of television's most scathing characters, Edmund Blackadder, in the various "Blackadder" series through the 1980s. Atkinson plays not just one person, but a line of unlucky schemers througout English history. "The Blackadder Christmas Carol" gives the premise a delightful twist: in Victorian England, Ebenezer Blackadder is a kind, saintly soul, but glimpses of his past lives convince him that "Bad guys have all the fun" and the nasty strain in the Blackadder DNA takes over. 1446553 13045499 Clickable Advent Calendar, 16: Merry Christmas, Mr. Bean "

Jeffrey Bützer goes Peanuts for 'A Charlie Brown Christmas' Article

It takes courage to put on a show that pays homage to Vincent Guaraldi's much beloved score to "A Charlie Brown Christmas," and do it justice. Since 1965, the San Francisco jazz pianist's accompaniment to Charles Schulz's cartoon special has become a seasonal classic.
The songs are anything but easy to play. But when Jeffrey Bützer explains that he has always wanted to put on a Christmas show,...

Let us not speak of it again lest it sully our memories of the classic 1966 cartoon "How the Grinch Stole Christmas!" which isn’t just one of the best Christmas specials, but is one of the best pieces of animation made for television of any kind. Chuck Jones, who directed some of the greatest Looney Tunes shorts, was at the height of his powers for characterization and sight gags in rendering the Grinch and his hapless dog Max. (Here’s a fun bit of trivia: June Foray, who voiced Cindy Lou Who, was apparently the inspiration for the title of the Whos' Christmas carol “Fah Who Forays.”)
Famous as the story is on page and screen, many don't know that Dr. Seuss's original How the Grinch Stole Christmas! has a "lost" ending, which was altered from the original manuscript to make the book more commercial. Here's the book's original conclusion:
… Three thousand feet up! Up the side of Mt. Crumpit!
He rode with his load to the tiptop to dump it!
“Pooh-Pooh to the Whos!” he was grinch-ish-ly humming.
“They’re finding out now that no Christmas is coming!
“They’re just waking up! I know just what they’ll do!
“Their mouths will hang open a minute or two
“Then the Whos down in Who-ville will all cry BOO-HOO!”
“That’s a noise,” grinned the Grinch,
“That I simply MUST hear!”
So he paused. And the Grinch put his hand to his ear.
And he did hear a sound rising over the snow.
It started in low. Then it started to grow …
But the sound wasn’t sad!
Why it sounded … mad!"

(Here’s a fun bit of trivia: June Foray, who voiced Cindy Lou Who, was apparently the inspiration for the title of the Whos' Christmas carol “Fah Who Forays.”)
Famous as the story is on page and screen, many don't know that Dr. Seuss's original How the Grinch Stole Christmas! has a "lost" ending, which was altered from the original manuscript to make the book more commercial. Here's the book's original conclusion:
… Three thousand feet up! Up the side of Mt. Crumpit!
He rode with his load to the tiptop to dump it!
“Pooh-Pooh to the Whos!” he was grinch-ish-ly humming.
“They’re finding out now that no Christmas is coming!
“They’re just waking up! I know just what they’ll do!
“Their mouths will hang open a minute or two
“Then the Whos down in Who-ville will all cry BOO-HOO!”
“That’s a noise,” grinned the Grinch,
“That I simply MUST hear!”
So he paused. And the Grinch put his hand to his ear.
And he did hear a sound rising over the snow.
It started in low. Then it started to grow …
But the sound wasn’t sad!
Why it sounded … mad! 1446583 13045516 Clickable Advent Calendar: The unedited ending to How the Grinch Stole Christmas! "

string(7403) "The economic downturn threatens to make 2008 one of the tightest Christmases ever. With a goal of making spirits bright, light-hearted DVD gifts may be bona fide necessities rather than luxuries. The following suggested comedies — some hip, some heart-warming — span seven decades with the hopes of offering something to amuse everyone on your multigenerational gift list. From digitally remastered films from Hollywood's golden age to nostalgic contemporary satires, they can even provide a literal answer to the question, "What's so funny about peace, love and understanding?"
Available in stores three days after its Nov. 23 cable debut, A Colbert Christmas (Comedy Central, $19.99) slightly repackages fake right-wing pundit Stephen Colbert as an all-purpose showbiz phoney. In dead-on parody of 1970s-style variety shows, A Colbert Christmas finds Colbert trapped in his mountain cabin by a hungry bear. He still manages to play host to such unexpected guests as Toby Keith, Jon Stewart, John Legend and Elvis Costello (whose seasonal costumes are nearly worth the price of admission alone). But who will Colbert kiss under the mistletoe?
A Colbert Christmas is a knockout thanks to the strength of the holiday parodies by David Javerbaum ("The Daily Show" executive producer) and Adam Schlesinger (songwriter and Fountains of Wayne co-founder), providing some of the best goofs on Christmas since "South Park's" Christmas specials. One of the most ingenious finds Canadian folk singer Feist riffing on "Angels We Have Heard on High" in the form of a call-waiting message from Heaven: "Due to increased prayer amounts, seraphim will have delays/Serving your prayer accounts for the next five million days."
Willie Nelson's song not only tweaks "The Little Drummer Boy," but specifically footnotes the beloved, inexplicable 1977 TV duet of the song between David Bowie and Bing Crosby, who didn't seem exactly sure who the other one was.
For a refresher as to why Crosby is almost synonymous with Christmas in some circles, check out the new release of 1942's Holiday Inn (Universal Studios, $26.98), which features Crosby singing the Christmas standard-of-standards, "White Christmas."
Holiday Inn falls a little short of classic status, relying on a thin plot about a passive-aggressive romantic triangle between Crosby, Fred Astaire and ingénue Marjorie Reynolds at a hotel/club that only opens for national holidays. But the film finds Crosby and Astaire in excellent form, and the veteran hoofer does a remarkable tap dance routine with firecrackers for the July 4 number. Knowing the seasonal premise, the film's appeal partly lies in seeing how legendary tunesmith Irving Berlin will write numbers about the likes of Thanksgiving or George Washington's birthday. (Warning: The Lincoln number, "Abraham," is performed in blackface in a sign of racial condescension that's almost shocking by contemporary standards.) Holiday Inn features three discs that offer the original black-and-white film, a new colorized version (meh) and a CD of the songs.
If you want to cultivate an appreciation of old black-and-white movies among the young people in your life, a good "gateway drug" may be Abbott & Costello: The Complete Universal Pictures Collection (Universal Studios, $119.98). Designed like a steamer trunk, the box contains 28 films from 1940-1955, featuring testy straight man Bud Abbott and boyish stooge Lou Costello. If you don't mind hostile physical comedy – Abbott slaps Costello in nearly every film – their movies can offer kids a light-hearted alternative to the ADD pace of most contemporary TV cartoons.
The pair's best films, particularly Abbott & Costello Meet Frankenstein (co-starring Bela Lugosi and Lon Chaney Jr. as Count Dracula and the Wolf Man, respectively) hold up very well and provide children a safe introduction to famous monsters. Most of the early films, such as Buck Privates, offer a glimpse of the American home front during World War II, while the best show snappy restagings of their vaudeville-honed shtick. The Naughty Nineties features the definitive version of their "Who's on First?" routine.
A Colbert Christmas coined the phrase, "Every time a bell falls, an angel gets its balls." Unbidden, that line came to mind during Tinker Bell (Walt Disney Video, $29.99), Disney's new direct-to-DVD CGI feature. Where Abbott and Costello may appeal more to boys, Tinker Bell targets girls more directly: Fairy is the new princess among Disney product streams. Tinker Bell offers the first of at least four planned films about Peter Pan's diminutive sidekick.
If not a modern classic, Tinker Bell proves surprisingly tolerable and features at least one laugh-out-loud gag (involving a nutcracker and a weeping squirrel). "Born" the first time a baby laughs, Tinker Bell discovers the realm of Pixie Hollow, where fairies guide the change of seasons. She's disappointed to learn that her talents place her among the tinkers, who build and fix things and are sort of like the unglamorous engineering majors at a liberal arts college. Despite no shortage of sappy self-actualization, Tinker Bell features unquestionably lovely animation, pleasant Celtic-style music, likeable characterizations and some sweet homages to Peter Pan lore. One could do a lot worse.
Two DVDs carry the spirit of homage in cheeky directions. Robot Chicken: Star Wars (Turner Home Entertainment, $14.98) presents 2007's all-Star Wars spoof of the stop-motion animated series from Cartoon Network's Adult Swim. Like a great Mad magazine-style parody, the grab bag of sketches and one-liners features consistently funny gags about the likes of Darth Vader and George Lucas, along with "yo momma" jokes and The Empire Strikes Back reimagined as an Ice Capades show. It's short at 22 minutes, but the disc offers plenty of behind-the-scenes extras, including clips of actor/director/co-creator Seth Green acting out all of the roles for the animators.
If you prefer to hear your pop references from real people instead of action figures, Spaced: The Complete Series (BBC Warner, $59.98) proves to be a little-known delight. The British sitcom from 1999-2001 showcases the early work of Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz director Edgar Wright and writer/actor Simon Pegg. Pegg and co-writer Jessica Hynes play two bohemian twentysomethings who pass as a couple to share a flat, and cinematic flights of fantasy punctuate their scruffy, mundane days.
Spaced: The Complete Series features all 14 episodes from the show's two seasons, as well as exhaustive bonus features and guest commentaries from fellow showbiz geeks such as Quentin Tarantino and Kevin Smith. Not all the jokes click, but the show's quirky, idiosyncratic voice is innately appealing, particularly thanks to the comedic work of Pegg, and Hynes, who gives the show a female perspective frequently missing from fanboy-based entertainment.
DVDs usually don't come cheap, but an excellent way to get bargains is through the daily Gold Box deals on Amazon.com. Found via a gold-colored treasure-chest logo on Amazon's front page, the Deal of the Day offerings frequently provide themed discounts, such as 75 percent off any season of "Gilmore Girls." The day Quantum of Solace opened, for instance, the James Bond Ultimate Collector's Set was available for 69 percent off. Be prepared to click quickly."

But who will Colbert kiss under the mistletoe?
A Colbert Christmas is a knockout thanks to the strength of the holiday parodies by David Javerbaum ("The Daily Show" executive producer) and Adam Schlesinger (songwriter and Fountains of Wayne co-founder), providing some of the best goofs on Christmas since "South Park's" Christmas specials. One of the most ingenious finds Canadian folk singer Feist riffing on "Angels We Have Heard on High" in the form of a call-waiting message from Heaven: "Due to increased prayer amounts, seraphim will have delays/Serving your prayer accounts for the next five million days."

Despite no shortage of sappy self-actualization, Tinker Bell features unquestionably lovely animation, pleasant Celtic-style music, likeable characterizations and some sweet homages to Peter Pan lore. One could do a lot worse.
Two DVDs carry the spirit of homage in cheeky directions. Robot Chicken: Star Wars (Turner Home Entertainment, $14.98) presents 2007's all-Star Wars spoof of the stop-motion animated series from Cartoon Network's Adult Swim. Like a great Mad magazine-style parody, the grab bag of sketches and one-liners features consistently funny gags about the likes of Darth Vader and George Lucas, along with "yo momma" jokes and The Empire Strikes Back reimagined as an Ice Capades show. It's short at 22 minutes, but the disc offers plenty of behind-the-scenes extras, including clips of actor/director/co-creator Seth Green acting out all of the roles for the animators.
If you prefer to hear your pop references from real people instead of action figures, Spaced: The Complete Series (BBC Warner, $59.98) proves to be a little-known delight. The British sitcom from 1999-2001 showcases the early work of Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz director Edgar Wright and writer/actor Simon Pegg. Pegg and co-writer Jessica Hynes play two bohemian twentysomethings who pass as a couple to share a flat, and cinematic flights of fantasy punctuate their scruffy, mundane days.
Spaced: The Complete Series features all 14 episodes from the show's two seasons, as well as exhaustive bonus features and guest commentaries from fellow showbiz geeks such as Quentin Tarantino and Kevin Smith. Not all the jokes click, but the show's quirky, idiosyncratic voice is innately appealing, particularly thanks to the comedic work of Pegg, and Hynes, who gives the show a female perspective frequently missing from fanboy-based entertainment.
DVDs usually don't come cheap, but an excellent way to get bargains is through the daily Gold Box deals on Amazon.com. Found via a gold-colored treasure-chest logo on Amazon's front page, the Deal of the Day offerings frequently provide themed discounts, such as 75 percent off any season of "Gilmore Girls." The day Quantum of Solace opened, for instance, the James Bond Ultimate Collector's Set was available for 69 percent off.
