No kids on this one, but Merry Christmas anyway.

Ha, that was great! Especially the vocal, you're in a groove there.

Something about the compression on the snare sounds familiar...was that the Pro VLA II on snare or overheads or drum bus?

[CrowsofFritz]

Nice! Not my style at all, but for what it is, it definitely sounds well produced.

BIG Pixies bass intro but very Greg.
Love the lyrics.
fab gang vocals too.
No squids but THANKS for keeping the Grexmas tradition alive.

[Armistice]

Ha ha. Love it.

[Greg_L]

Thanks everyone. I forgot to mention in the original post...this is just a cover. The Vandals originally did it in like 1995 or something.

@Tadpui no the VLA is packed up right now while I build a new rack space shelf thing. I'm using two LA-2A style plugs on the drums, one one the snare track and one on the drum group.

Classic.

Needs some brass like the original No Doubt version tho.

(Kidding. I know it's the vandals)

[musicturtle]

Awesome. You have got this sound down.

Merry Christmas!

Lol fucking hell I didn't even know there was a No Doubt version. I youtubed it. I wish I hadn't. Young Gwen is better than older Gwen though.

Awesome. You have got this sound down.

Merry Christmas!

Thanks, you too!

As a huge Vandals fan this made my week. Thanks Greg.

Cool mix too. Seems like it's got a bit more pop and punch when played a little louder. Quite like it.

What? You don't like her doing Christmas country duets with Blake Shelton?

It's always the worst when an interesting woman in music starts dating some boring dude and starts making music that sounds like him.

I didn't know she still did any kind of music. I thought she was just a professional celebrity now.

Yep! Imagine the worst thing you could expect her doing, and it's more or less that:

No way I'm clicking that and screwing up my carefully curated youtube algorithm.

Gwen is nicer to look at.

Good Choon, Brav.

I'm always curious about what brings the Yak out, and what it's threshold for affirming choons is?
