Hi! Real quick, because you guys are probably
chugging nog in your pajamas and gathering around the fireplace or the
television yule log on your favorite streaming service, but did you know that
Pepper Mill Rondo has your holiday spirit COVERED for you today? That’s right,
the Hausu Mountain boys Doug and Max have whirled together another sampledelic
masterpiece, the successor to the bafflingly great E.D.M., this one a Christmas-themed ride called, appropriately, It’s Christmas Time!
Right? Everybody good?
Good, because this one was also recorded with a
karaoke machine, and it’s a whipped slurry of samples coming at you so fast
from both speakers that you won’t be sure if this is actually a Christmas tape
or a sign of the apocalypse. So why not both? The spirit of the season
certainly has a slightly different flavor this year, if you ask me.
It’s Christmas
Time! fully comes across as if Doug and Max have thrown a ton of VHS tapes
into the old wood chipper out back and painstakingly tried to splice the reels
back together to get something usable. Did they succeed? The result is
certainly usable, although it in no way resembles the original sources. Which
is what makes this a perfect addition to your family’s holiday traditions, even
though it essentially takes a nuclear warhead to them.
On second thought, don’t let your kids near Pepper
Mill Rondo. They’ll have nightmares for weeks.
OK, back to your holiday traditions! Why are you checking your phone today anyway?
