THE BELLS ! THE BELLS !
It’s that time of year ,when the world falls ....into a non stop wash,rinse,repeat cycle of mainstream mediocrity filled with Holiday music. It’s dark and bleak and that is not just because of daylight savings.(the only savings that seems to happen this season)
Bells are ringing ,Children are screaming,and parents are ......busy texting.There is seemingly no escape from the noise. Unless.....one has a patented Hazel-Rah Helliday mixtape to help swallow the seasonal slurry.
This year marks the twelfth collection.Twelve plunges to the bottom of the fishnet stocking to find the scraps of tunes that haven’t slipped through the holes of complete obscurity.Weird,wonky,and wonderful wintry tunes to tickle you tinnitus.
So crank up the stereo and turn down the lights (so no one thinks you’re home). Roast those nuts over your open chest and .......wait a tic.....strike that,reverse it. Aww, heck with it .....
Have a happy helliday!
