So the head of the art department has been subbing in for my Portfolio and Campaign class because our regular prof had spinal surgery and now has six million follow-up appointments, but the point is, she thinks I’m a Responsible Adult for some reason, and since it’s a studio day, she asked me to put on something “Seasonally Appropriate”

…

KLEZMER MARIACHI IS TOTALLY SEASONALLY APPROPRIATE.
HANUKKAH COMES FIRST THIS YEAR ANYWAY.

Anyway, that’s set off a game of “Music that’s ‘Seasonally Appropriate but not actually Christmas carols” and let me tell you I’ve never had the cass agree on a playlist before, nor have I seen somebody embody the “I don’t know what I expected” meme as hard as my Department Head is right now.

So far we’ve had:

-Celtic solstice music, very pretty.
-Kwanza music (BALLER, will try to get the name of the band after class)
-Trans- Siberian orchestra’s Carol of the Bells, which is technically a carol but fuck you it’s awesome and it’s welcome here.
-MORE KLEZMER
-Heavy metal Cellos version of “Dance of the Sugar Plum fairy”
-Weird Al’s “The Night Santa Went Crazy”

…and Kati’s queing up the barking dog version of jingle bells. One moment i need to prevent a riot.
