The Jingle Cats: Meowy Christmas



Cheese Puff, Max, Sprocket, Binky, Clara, Cueball, Graymer, Twizzler, and Petunia perform twenty favorites of the Christmas season

This strange album, produced in 1993 and intended, perhaps, as a warning of the dangers of sampling (or simply another unintentional argument why people in Los Angeles should not be allowed to use the multimedia functions of computers), turns the vocalizations of nine cats into something like feline handbells – as if someone were pulling each tail when the melody requires that cat’s pitch – in studied, formulaic arrangements of everyone’s favorite Christmas froth. The formula (instrumental vamp followed by the addition of animal vocalists) is a bit cloying when taken song after song after song but it can be very effective as part of a holiday shuffle, in which a single number catches people unawares by showing up aleatorically amid Burl Ives, Mannheim Steamroller, and Taylor Swift.

Your comment was delayed because it came in as spam.

Even so, the Linden Method shows no interest in -- what shall we call this blog? -- digitized music cassettes from the 1980s. Stress reduction is a good thing but it has very little to do with this blog.

Please write directly to jorge_serrano_limon@panista.org requesting specific permissions.

Thanks.
