Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from Records on Walls! I just wanted to sincerely thank everyone who has visited the site and has purchase some of these frames as gifts for others (or for themselves). I really hope you’re enjoying them, or at least planning on ways to make your space burst with musical inspiration. To honor the holiday season, I thought I would (naturally) turn this blog post into something adversarial… Namely, Lennon Vs. McCartney: Christmas edition!
They are both great tunes with very different messages (let’s not even get into the instrumentation). I may receive some flack for this, but I’m a McCartney man, so I have to cast my vote his way. Don’t get me wrong, there are tonnes of incredible Lennon songs, but being a Hofner playing bassist myself, I guess you could say I’m a little biased. And I’m also a sucker for the cheeriness of the tune, at least in comparison to John’s song.. “Crap. It is Christmas. And what have I done?? Oh man, he’s got a point there – I’ve been an apathetic jerk!” But for the record, the Lennon song has almost 5 million views (and many more counting duplicated videos), while McCartney has yet to cross the 1 million mark. I guess that says something.
Thanks again for stopping by, and remember to like to us on facebook or twitter if you want to read more of these amazingly entertaining musing. All the best in the new year, Steve
