it's from someone i like but still

lxy, Saturday, 15 November 2008 21:22 (fifteen years ago) link

we put our tree up yesterday and today we're going to get lights for it and decorate it.
it's too early but we're going have a thanksgiving at our house and putting up the tree always takes so long when you're trying to do everything else and we want things to be easy so we decided to get a head start, which is not my usual way.
my sister said, 'i hope you are not christmas tree over-achievers,' and i said she would soon see for herself.
our little dog loves it when the tree goes up, he lays underneath it like a slightly grimy gift.

Steve Martin, Paul Simon, and Billy Joel - Silver Bells
http://www.sendspace.com/file/t6hwiq

the story behind this song, according to Billy Joel:

http://www.americanwaymag.com/aw/travel/celebrated.asp?archive_date=11/15/2001
“One night around Christmas 20 years ago, I was doing a recording session at A&R Studios in Hell’s Kitchen. We had just finished the session, and my producer and I decided to get some food. It was fairly late at night, and we ran into Paul Simon and Steve Martin at the restaurant. We had a little bit of wine, and then we had a little more wine. Nobody was feeling any pain. We got a brainstorm that we would go back to the studio and record a Christmas record. It must’ve been about midnight at this point. So we go back to the studio, and Paul Simon and I are singing in the background that Christmas carol ‘Silver Bells.’ We’re harmonizing, and Steve Martin starts into this soliloquy ‘What Christmas Means to Me,’ with these hysterical descriptions of the secretary sitting on the copying machine, all these very risqué scenarios. And Paul and I are just trying to keep it together. We did this maybe in one take and we had a Christmas single. Now, it was never given to a record company, but there’s a copy of it floating around somewhere. Stuff like that happens in New York. It’s a small town.”

it is ok for us to have our differences, and this thread shows what some of them are

lxy, Saturday, 15 November 2008 23:06 (fifteen years ago) link

nonetheless i am kind of pissed that i have 'silver bells' stuck in my head now

lxy, Saturday, 15 November 2008 23:07 (fifteen years ago) link

i remember sitting on santa's lap age 7, asking for a message board. he thought i meant dry erase board lol but i explained. he told me ok, but "no billy joel shares." we both laughed because who would share billy joel? santa must be ashamed of me right now.

jergins, Sunday, 16 November 2008 00:24 (fifteen years ago) link

so did you guys listen to the track? if you didn't already know that billy joel was on it, you would never know otherwise. in fact, i played this last night and was asked "so where was billy joel on that?"

Lingbert, Sunday, 16 November 2008 00:35 (fifteen years ago) link

it sounds like we had the exact same evening.

estela, Sunday, 16 November 2008 00:41 (fifteen years ago) link

i didn't listen to it, i just read the title

lxy, Sunday, 16 November 2008 00:44 (fifteen years ago) link

if you have to ask where the billy joel is then he's probably creeping up, getting ready to put it in your butt or ear

jergins, Sunday, 16 November 2008 00:51 (fifteen years ago) link

lxy, Sunday, 16 November 2008 00:59 (fifteen years ago) link
