I have a bit of problem. I only feel “at home” with minor key songs. Thus, I feel most…if not all…major key tunes should be given THIS treatment.
If you know of any other projects like this (or do it yourself and take requests), please share!
Cannot type/talk due to severe illness (all words courtesy of voice software or kind typing helpers)…I read and appreciate all comments…Apologies for not being able to respond.
Been in love with this version since 1997…
Now this is a love song…
Get a little closer, let it fold
Cut open my sternum and pull
My little ribs around you
Through arms that may be under, under you
I am currently addicted to this ever so perfect fall/winter album filled with dark, melancholy sounds. Spookily delicious…highly recommended…
Thanks to my dear girl Bettie who treated me to this after learning it had been a while on my wish list!
I want to go here. So badly.
Anyone know the artist for this?
I do not know this woman, but her batty glasses indicate she’s probably pretty great.
This woman, too…
A child destined for greatness.
I really want this game!
Bats and cats…oh my.
Now let’s get serious and talk about death. Great book title:
And another:
I would absolutely read this one.
Another incredible title.
Does anyone have this? I couldn’t find it anywhere, but I’m curious and intrigued.
The first? Great detective work, Dr. Donohue.
I never knew a mortuary could be so exciting.
“Man describes his sensations while slowly roasting to death”
Rather beautiful antique illustration:
Indication of slightly skewed priorities (read the fine print…she’s upset about her hair).
It may feel like slight indigestion at first, but…
Anyone know where this anthropomorphic poison comes from?
Brilliant!
Serenade…
Lovely death and (a) maiden.
Come in, kiddies. A meaty, cheesy death surely does not await you in the hungry jaws of Mayor McCheese.
Heaven?
Hell?
For the ladies…
I don’t think this ended well.
The end.
People Too make fantastic whimsical art on sheet music.
Busy little scenes are brought to life on each page…
I love how the notes become structural aspects of the design.
See more (and larger sizes) at the source.

What a lovely little song and video…if you’re into this sort of thing, like I am.
Behold, the Castle Grayskull igloo!

I vaguely remember this special…
Aww…look at this little gentleman from Handmade Stuffs:
A little metallic minimalism:
And for those who don’t want minimalism, a giant ball of Christmas pudding:
Absolutely no comment here. This blog is a family establishment.
Hey…Santa isn’t supposed to be a rugged lumber jack! If this version of our beloved St. Nicholas showed up at my house, I’d give him yard work to do.
If Santa were a Shih Tzu:
And this one appears to have had a run-in with some pepper spray.
He sees you when you’re sleeping…
Now for some beautiful sweets, a gingerbread typewriter:
If anyone has either of these musical gems, please share!
On the other hand, please do NOT send me this album. Oh Scott Weiland…why? I gave STP quite a few spins in my adolescence, but Weiland’s crooning on this album makes me sad, uncomfortable, and a bit embarrassed for him. Go ahead and listen to some samples if you want to see why this is what the bad children should get for Christmas.
Speaking of sad, it looks like this Santa was just released from the burn unit:
One of a series of Christmas illustrations by Graham Wilson (he does some great Christmas/Halloween mashups too).
Proportion? Never heard of it. Santa is magical. He can do what he wants.
A decoration for the Trekkies!
Kitteh refuses to be your holiday prop (I love the hand on the left, presumably going to help…a little too late).
This X-ray tree by Nick Veasey (whom I could have sworn I posted about before, but is not turning up in my searches) would make a wonderful holiday card.
Or if you prefer a glow in the dark variety:
We’ll finish with this amazing Harold Lloyd Christmas tree, recently posted by my friends at Unusual Life.
I’ve had the artwork from Christmas With Colonel Sanders saved for a few years now. I was quite surprised that I hadn’t posted it before.
Yes…this exists.
And now a message from the Colonel himself, straight from his heart to yours (click to enlarge photo):
I may have to make a separate post just for creepy Colonel sculptures and automatons, but here’s one to get you in the holiday spirit:
As a special treat I uploaded Christmas Day With Colonel Sanders here! Enjoy these extra crispy tunes.
…I never did get my hands on one of those awesomely absurd KFC Buckets for Breast Cancer.
