The Chowder Man - Christmas Pain in Christmas Town (feat. Dave Pino)
This is what I crave in Christmas music, musical maximalism and a raw blast of emotions. Look, The Chowder Man isn’t a poet but his feelings are real. No irony: it is a great song. I adore the wall of festive sound, especially that synth melody and the bonus shredding from Dave Pino. And that music video from Hypnospace boss Jay Tholen…!
A friend once likened Christmas Pain In Christmas Town to a Carly Rae Jepsen song, and yes, I would love to hear Carly Rae cover it. Or duet on it with Hot Dad. Or release her own response song telling the other side of the story. Carly Rae Jepsen, please, get on this. It’s important. For Christmas.
A Hypnospace follow-up is on the way,jumping into the alt-history Internet of the early noughties with Dreamsettler. And speaking of fictional people from Hypnospace making real things, notorious loudmouth ZANE_ROCKS_14 is ‘making’ a retro FPS named SlayersX, which currently hasa demo I know our Liam liked.
Take care this oft-difficult time of year, reader dear. We have quite a few Christmas traditions to share cheer and godwill, including theRPS advent calendarcelebrating our favourite games of the year, the long-dreaded Christmas cracker jokes, and a few personal favourite festive games. Please know that you remain my power, my pleasure, my pain.
