It’s Smooth Mentalists Christmas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! … part 7

A double dose of Christmas jollity for you today.

First up is a few moments of mmm, nice smooth jazz. All the way from Atlanta, Georgia, it’s keyboard wizard and producer John Carrozza, seasoned bassist Joe Reda, veteran percussionist Jon Chalden and vocal siren Jennifer Carrozza. Which means a lot of them are quite old, and should know better than to mess with ‘Jingle Bells’. But it’s, mmmm, nice.

Visit them here and listen to ‘Jingle Bells’ here.

We’ve also got a treat from arch-mentalist Enya, the quite possibly robotronic Queen of all things Lothlorien and flouncy. I’m not entirely convinced she exists, what with all the soft focus and Irish castles malarkey, but whatever computer controls her / is her, has come up with an “interesting” version of ‘We Wish You A Merry Christmas’. I don’t think I’ve ever been quite so scared and creeped out. Those with a strong stomach, and some kind of dwarvish defence mechanism may take their lives in their own hands here.

Please God, will someone hurry up with that figgy pudding! She won’t leave without it. Help……

Come Christmas Day, I’ll be broadcasting Christmas joy to the world on GRTR between 8 and 10pm GMT, and broadcasting Christmas Blues to the world on Boxing Day.

Should be good.
