I'm going to leave the Grass Stained Twilight CD announcement up top for now so hopefully you've scrolled down here to see this little post-dated post.
Yes, it's that time again...
Time for the "Song Of the Week"! and, as promised, I'm sticking with this Christmas album thing.
I've got the coolest news too - I really liked this Jeff Travis Henderson Song Fight tune and I asked him if I could do it for the Christmas album and he said yes! He's going to send the backing tracks and I'll build on that and post it here soon. Check out his myspace page - it's great stuff!

A brand new "Song Of the Week" and it's another Song Fight Tune. I couldn't resist. Those of you who've known me for a long time will get this, hopefully the rest of you will be able to enjoy it too. My daughter contributed the artwork.

Hollywood Wax
Hollywood Wax is standing in scenes of dreams that we've imagined - We would climb in and dust them - Adjust them - Customers discussed them - We sat at the Last Supper holding hands and making our plans - Who knew that love could be discovered when you're wearing your Frankenstein Pants - And when we walked down that yellow brick road I saw you smile - I am Charlie Chaplin - I am Frankenstein - I am the Mechanical Man - Take your photo and then you can go inside - We walked through the museum holding hands and making our plans - Who knew that love could be discovered when you're wearing your Frankenstein Pants - And when we walked down that yellow brick road I saw you smile - I am Charlie Chaplin - I am Frankenstein - I am the Mechanical Man - Take your photo and then you can go inside

Yes, that's right... a Christmas Song!!!
You know, I'm just feeling so stoked and joyful about everything right now that this just came right out. I've always wanted to do a Christmas record, so, I apologize to any of you humbuggers out there but I believe I'm going to try and chew my way through that little project for the next couple of months right here on mchatton.com. There may be some exceptions but right now it just sounds like the thing to do.
And, for those of you keeping score... I came in second again over at Song Fight with the last two entries - Shoelace Soup and A Scary Thing. I actually put up another one yesterday to do battle with this week called Stomach For It. It's so different from the other stuff here that I wasn't going to post it here originally (kind of a wanky over the top guitar solo at the end) but here it is anyway Stomach For It.mp3. Please go vote for it if you like it - there's a lot of great submissions over there this week.
Merry Christmas!
