Christmas Throwback

Since I do a review of Jim Henson Christmas specials every year and the new one will be out soon. I wanted to throwback to when I reviewed one of the more beloved ones. Especially ones with songs since I’m reviewing a lot of Christmas song specials this year

With Emmet Otters Jug-Band Christmas.

Who can I pay to get John Darnielle to cover When the River Meets the Sea from the inimitable classic Emmet Otter's Jugband Christmas? It's a beautiful song, and it really feels like he could do it justice.

Starkid Emmet Otter's Jugband Christmas

Hey it's been a while, hasn't it?

The reason for my absence can be boiled down to an increase in classwork plus being in a musical (I was William Barfee in the 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee). But at the moment I am back in the saddle (we'll see how long that lasts) and ready to give you all more dreamcasts. And what better way to start this new leaf than a Christmas present of a Christmas musical! I'm not sure a lot of people know this one but I hope you all enjoy it just the same! I tried to keep in mind which Starkid performers had puppet experience and use that here.
