Ho HO HOLY SHIT it's a new track for Metaphysical Shitposting! As vaguely promised a while back, it's #Christmas music! Sorta! It's "I Always Love Tripping at Xmas" and you can hear it here:
The most interesting holiday thought I could come up with was my love for tripping around Xmastime, so this one's out there! It started with a sleighbell -- the most Xmas of Xmas sounds --and, like most trips, got super weird, super fast from there.

What #ChristmasMusic do folks in the Fediverse listen to during these festive times? I'm interested in listening to more Christmas music that isn’t part of the American Christmas music canon. My family would listen to Christmas Revels CDs that drew mostly upon earlier British #Christmas (and #Solstice and #Yule) music.
Please tell me about your Christmas music traditions. I'm looking to expand my holiday playlist!

I promised a Christmas Mixcloud set and I am delivering.
I was genuinely surprised at some of the directions this mix took, and some of the feels I felt while putting it together. It's equal parts cynicism and earnestness.
