Damn That Holiday: Armageddon.1

Absolute Studios play on REM’s hit with their own office shouting match “It’s the End of the World (And It’s Christmas).” Went to some trouble listing our early 2010s woes. Nostalgic, almost.

Al Axy performing “End Of The World (Christmas Version)” has only a couple lines altering it from the original un-Christmas version. And it seems maudlin pop upbeat for all the doom-crying. Oh, well.

Jay Stansfield’s “A Good Last Christmas” is zippy pop of romantic propositions, while the dead are walking and Santa is chasing children with his face half hanging off. Not evocative enough? Listen for the epilogue’s sound effects.

Sad Dad is not joking around with “Christmas at the End of the World.” This new age pop poem spins up the possibilities in the null set. Nice.
