THE CROWD MAY BE GONE, BUT THE SHOW IS NOT OVER.
These are the digressions of Sullivan Fall: dilettante, "musician", gentleman of leisure. Stuck in Calgary for now.

Coming Down With Christmas, now 30 seconds shorter.
In the winter of 2008, Sullivan Fall attempted to profit from the seasonal demand for holiday music with his cynical and calculated song “Coming Down With Christmas”. Completely ignored, it was available for only a month before it was deleted. A year later, after acknowledging the largesse that would allow a 4 minute song to be released in the first place, Sullivan Fall has re-recorded the song and shaved 30 seconds off in the interim. This new version is now available for free download here (right click and save). It is also intended to be included on the next Sullivan Fall album, entitled WINTERGLASS, which is currently being hurriedly recorded and hopefully released before the end of 2009.

COMING DOWN WITH CHRISTMAS
Words and music by Sullivan Fall
There’s something going ‘round this time of year
Everybody’s coming down with christmas cheer
We try to bear the cold, unwrap the candy gold
And think of all the things we can’t afford
The children are expecting some new plunder
While their parents busy keeping up from under
They try to hold their tongues while the stockings are all hung
Once opened then the kids are back to bored
And everybody’s coming down with christmas
The sneezing, wheezing king of holidays
Everybody’s coming down with christmas
You can catch it in oh so many ways
The cat keeps getting caught up in the tinsel
The car keeps sliding through the streets of snow
Just be glad you’re not the turkey in the middle
Oh whatever, where’s the rum and mistletoe?
And everybody’s coming down with christmas
Even those of us who stay inside
Everybody’s coming down with christmas
You can try to skate away but you can’t hide
And everybody’s coming down with christmas
Where noses run and cheeks burn red
And everybody’s coming down with christmas
i wish this year we’d all calm down instead
This christmas we should all calm down instead.
Does anybody know about this adult film stars vs. some girl who is associated with jade nicole (they are on the hills or something?) flame war happening on twitter? i have a feeling we will be talking about this day many years from now.
