C&C Film Night: Cries From Within, 1972.

"All over North America young people are rejecting orthodoxy of all kinds and embracing new cults, new forms of self-discovery, from Krishna to bio-feedback. Group dynamics, encounter groups, transcendental meditation, Eastern philosophy, communal living, return-to-nature, re-energized evangelism--all are roads to salvation according to the individual's belief. This film takes a discerning look at them all, from Canada to California."

1972 Marc Beaudet, Georges Dufaux

We Hope You Don't Intend to Spend XXXmas Without C&C

Dear Margo Guryan, We don't intend to spend Christmas without you. Love, Casimer&Casimir.

As the story goes, after hearing The Beach Boys' "God Only Knows" for the first time, the adorably soft-spoken Margo Guryan found herself suddenly converted from bookish jazz student, tromboning Bob Brookmeyer to passionate pop chanteuse, making Heavy Pet Sounds with David Rosner. And thank Sweet Baby Jesus for that!

This candlelit blessing is a lovely little Christmas hymn-to-him that's not so much frosty as it is feisty, ornamented with lovesick "fa-la-la's" and a conflicted, eggnog-breathed fuck-off. It was originally written for Claudine Longet (famous for a short string of equally darling pop hits, killing her professional skiier husband who went by "Spider," and being the subject of a Rolling Stones song) but, for the sake of a purely wholesome XXXMAS, I'm more inclined to cherish The Creator:
