Neddie and Blue you guys rock! And hats off to the Skimmer for the artwork. Just think, in 6 more years you guys will have enough for an album.

Posted by: almostinfamous | December 22, 2007 at 10:08 AM
Thanks everyone!!
BP, Jeddie and I were going to do a Rush medley, but my voice is about eight keys lower than Geddy's.
lol.
Posted by: blue girl | December 22, 2007 at 10:14 AM
AWESOME! As per usual. Happy holidays. :)
Posted by: Claire | December 22, 2007 at 11:09 AM
Really terrific. BG, you have such a good voice, and Neddie did an especially great job on the guitar. I dig the artwork, too.
Have a great Christmas and a Happy New Year.

This is wonderful!!
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Now that's a party!
Posted by: Kathleen | December 22, 2007 at 12:23 PM
That's just lovely.
Posted by: Shayera | December 22, 2007 at 12:42 PM
Fan-effin-tastic! That was GREAT! You are easily the coolest heterosexual I've ever known.
Posted by: Res Publica | December 22, 2007 at 01:21 PM
GB, if you just squeeeeeze the Skimmer's yarbles JUST right, he'll be able to do the early Geddy voice.
Later Geddy you'll do fine on. "A baking warrior/ mean kitchen stride/Today's Jane Sawyer/ mean video pride..."
Posted by: billy pilgrim | December 22, 2007 at 01:46 PM
BG, you are SO the party.
Posted by: M.A. Peel | December 24, 2007 at 12:27 AM
Very well done! I'll have to play that for Stirling (twin #1) later as he has become the very embodiment of Christmas spirit despite his father's Grinch-like tendencies.
Merry Xmas from myself and the brood!
Posted by: Nicho | December 24, 2007 at 09:32 AM
Merry Christmas!

Rocked my socks off.

What fun! Merry Christmas to you and your loved ones...
Posted by: Connie & Steve | December 25, 2007 at 12:33 PM
Merry Christmas to the Family Blue!

You are easily the coolest heterosexual I've ever known.
And I, the coolest Presbyterian....
Posted by: neddie jingo | December 25, 2007 at 05:03 PM
Rock-n-Roll Xmas!!1 Wooh00! Your voice really reminds me, especially on this one (though I've been listening to last year's CB xmas song on my Shuffle since about September) reminds me of Katrina's from Katrina and the Waves. Not exactly, of course, but like hers in that you're strong and solid and sound Very Happy.
Very Cool.
You guys are So GooD together! I love it.
Happy Holidays all around!
Posted by: Michael Bains | December 26, 2007 at 06:32 AM
Thanks everybody! Hope you all had a Merry Christmas if you were indeed Chrismassing yesterday.
LOL at Res and Jeddie.
MB, billy pilgrim will probably fall off his chair laughing if he reads this, but I *love* the song "Walking on Sunshine."
lol.
Always have.
I wish the Eagles would do a rendition of it...
One can dream.
Posted by: blue girl | December 26, 2007 at 10:24 AM
It sounds awesome, BG!
Awesome, but where was Phil on back-up vocals? After all, for the price of those tickets, he should have given you something...
Posted by: Adorable Girlfriend | December 26, 2007 at 01:12 PM
I'll give you a pass on "Walking on Sunshine, BG. It's a good pop song, and I always like a good pop song.
Besides, the writer and guitarist, Kimberley Rew, used to play with Robyn Hitchcock in The Soft Boys, and since he had a part in creating the Masterful "Underwater Moonlight" he gets lifetime credit.
Posted by: billy pilgrim | December 26, 2007 at 01:57 PM
You should see what Phil gave me.
Posted by: billy pilgrim | December 26, 2007 at 01:58 PM
What did Phil give you, BP?
A drum set?
A hold on your heart?
Posted by: blue girl | December 26, 2007 at 02:37 PM
A Squonk?
Posted by: blue girl | December 26, 2007 at 03:24 PM
Yeah, a big ol SQUONK.
And I had to hold the back of his head.
Squoncked right on my old cookies, he did. The pervert.
Posted by: billy pilgrim | December 26, 2007 at 03:37 PM
A TV show? That, and a radio?
Posted by: blue girl | December 26, 2007 at 04:37 PM
I wish I had the energy to post something.
But, alas! I do not.
Posted by: blue girl | December 26, 2007 at 04:39 PM
Shoulda had some cookies.
Posted by: billy pilgrim | December 26, 2007 at 04:49 PM
BP, as of RIGHT NOW -- this is what we have in our kitchen.
Cheesecake
Banana nut bread
Fudge
Fourteen kinds of cookies my mother-in-law brought over Christmas morning
Pumpkin Pie
Pumpkin Roll
Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to wobble and roll down the stairs and finish watching my "Meet the Kardashians!" marathon...
Posted by: blue girl | December 26, 2007 at 04:55 PM
I did not know that about Kimberly Rew, Billy. The Soft Boys made living worthwhile, back in the day. Are you acquainted with the work of Martin Newell?
"Walking on Sunshine" is a great, infectious I-IV-V song, and I hold nothing against it. (Well, perhaps this staph infection...)
Posted by: neddie jingo | December 26, 2007 at 06:49 PM
Homeless Phil is not amused.
Posted by: Pinko Punko | December 26, 2007 at 07:23 PM
Neddie, all I've got is "The Greatest Living englishman" that he did with Andy Partridge....
