Lyrics & chords:

A Buggerer's Christmas

Bb-dim Esus7 E7
If you see a stranger in your manger,
Bb-dim Esus7 E7
Your babe is not in any danger.
A F#min D
Ever stop to think that maybe,
Dmin A
They weren't looking for a baby?
E F#min
Fa la la, faaaa.
Bb-dim Esus7 E7
The shepherd's run in adoration,
Bb-dim Esus7 E7
Not to Mary's son, but to his barn companions.
A F#min D
We all need some warmth this winter, I feel ya,
Dmin A
'Tis the season for arnophilia.

A F#min
It's a buggerer's Christmas
D Dmin Bmin E A
All we like sheep, we've gone astray, Christ was born today.

F#min
You'll find me in the crèches.
D Bmin E A
We're rolling in the deep, we're rolling in the hay.

E F#min

Fa la la, baaaa.

The Swell Season for Arnophilia

I got a phone call midday Tuesday (in Berkeley, CA) from an 'unknown' number, & it was Sam Amidon calling from Oxford, England, looking for recommendations for a pub to sit & read in for a while! I navigated him to the Turf Tavern, which is hidden up a windy alley & has a beautiful beer garden & rare ales on tap. Here's a video he just posted of him singing at the Royal Festival Hall (in Bangladesh I think).

Demon Arnophilia: Carly for California's Kinky Sheep Spot

Failed HP CEO, now turned cancer-survivin' California Republican senatorial candidate, Carly Fiorina has released the best paschal-themed political commercial of the 2010 primaries. (The sexy demon sheep appears in the last sixty seconds.) As a side note, I'll mention that I saw Mr Campbell speak a year ago, and I believe he is a deeply intelligent, sane politician (and a social liberal, as all successful Californian Republicans need to be, thank heavens.) He is almost certainly not a demon sheep, but let's let history be the judge.



PS. I recommend this mp3 podcast with second-by-second breakdown interpretation of the ad.

Now introducing the long-awaited new department of Arnopedophilia.

Song: "Come Ride the Bleck Ram"

Black Ram Whisky is a smooth Bulgarious ride, a ride which Mr Quill's friend Martichka first took us on. We also spent a lot of time in Bulgaria riding buses from one town to another, sometimes riding the ram while riding the bus. This song is inspired by those experiences - - As I was telling Grainne yesterday, there's drinking songs, then there's songs of alcoholism, & then there's Black Ram.

I apologize for the nonsense, uncorrect bulgarities, obscenity, taboo & inside jokes in the lyrics, but that's about all right:

Come ride the bleck ram!
From Силистраto a hide-a-bed in Варна!
Don't take me till I'm gone!
And the duner in my mooner is a goner!
Can't you see Kirstie Alley is confessing messy tendencies!
Може ли десет черен овен свирки in the Bleck Sea!
Come ride the bleck ram! наздраве! Ramsploitate me as I am!

Come ride the bleck ram!
Ride the кратки автобус like a кретен!
Don't take me till I'm gone!
Come to Пловдив for whatever heavy-pettin'.
Can't you see I would smear Amara Karan in my panties,
Може ли десет Бяло Мини Братство & Bleck Parties!
Come ride the bleck ram! наздраве! Ramsploitate me as I am!

Come ride the bleck ram!
Ride that shuttle to Попово's cuddle puddle!
Don't take me till I'm gone!
Get a tattoo of your butthole in your butthole!
Fantasy of a future where the culture is all ramified:
Can it be I see Ivanna Lynch and firewhiskey at my side?
Come ride the bleck ram! наздраве! Ramsploitate me as I am!

Introducing: Sex was lost!

INTRODUCING: Department of Arnophilia

In order to keep this weblog hip & modern, to continue to appear to the younger generation of bloggers, I'm spearheading the initiative to introduce several new magazine DEPARTMENTS. Earlier this month, I inaugurated The Department of Beards. Sadly, in recent developments, I have lost my beard, but I & my co-correspondents will continue to chronicle all things Beard at www.itwaslost.org. Today, I am proud to roll out the New Department of Arnophilia. A recurring theme at this website, starting with a discussion of the word "arnophilia", as used in Thomas Pynchon's Against the Day (on page 211) & as defined in the Wiktionary: the only reference they found was the Pynchon. Then, there has been some art by Olaf Mary (pictured above & originally posted here), & a series of quasi-arnophiliacal Christmas compositions to the Nahum Tate text "While shepherds watch'd their sheep by night / All seated on the ground", called Different Shepherds. Seated on the ground, ahem, at the very least. There have been some letters to the editor that we should explore the themes of arnophilia in closer scrutiny, exploit this great word, possibly eventually with its own spin-off blog. (DISCLAIMER: No way should it be concluded that any of the contributers to itwaslost.org are arnophiliacs, or that we advocate the unfair practice thereof, merely that we are bold enough to peer past margins of society & nature where more timid blogs fear to travel.) Look for more postings at the Department of Arnophila (added to the sidebar below) as 2009 expands! I leave you with Billy Connolly:

DIFFERENT SHEPHERDS scores

Different Shepherds: On Christmas day I wrote four settings for the Nahum Tate text "While shepherds watch'd their flocks by night", & posted three demonstrative recordings in the following few days. I just scanned the scores of those & one more, here they are. Both printable pdfs & image files. & the three recordings of In Your Area, Fernside, & June Star are in that podcast player below.
