Christmas music generally annoys the hell out of me too, at least the traditional kinds. Choral music, Mariah Carey, it fills me with rage, oddly enough.

I will share links for some styles of Christmas music I do enjoy.

There’s a guy who does a lot of Jazz loves Hip Hop mashups, including this one of Christmas standards This one used to be on YouTube, which is where I originally found it.

There’s a guy who does metal covers of Christmas standards

Mariah Carey in the style of Tool

Rudolph the Red nosed Reindeer in the style of KoЯn

Afroman released A Colt 45 Christmas, which is hilarious & hilariously profane.

There’s a different guy who does metal covers of all kinds of music, including Christmas. Here’s a link to a playlist of his.

I encourage anyone who has access to an HBO Max account to watch South Park S15E05, entitled “Crack Baby Athletic Association.” It’s an excellent take on the NCAA and its many issues.

Do you pronounce the names "Eric" and "Erica" mostly the same? How many syllables each? in c/[email protected]

[–] superduperpirate 6 points 3 weeks ago

EHR-ick

EHR-ick-uh

Only difference for me is that with Erica, I tend to compress the final two syllables enough that Eric & Erica don’t have a noticeable difference in how long it takes me to pronounce them.

What style coffee do you prefer? How often do you drink it? in c/[email protected]

[–] superduperpirate 2 points 3 weeks ago

I don’t honestly have a favorite? I don’t have a super refined palate, so I can’t tell much of a difference between the flavors. I’m sure there is one, it’s just beyond my limited ability to perceive.

95% of my coffee consumption is HEB own-brand K cups. My nearest store has a half dozen or so different flavors, each named after a different city in TX. I rotate through flavors when I restock.

I’m not super picky. I get that because it’s cheap and convenient.
