Tinsel and Marzipan

The 22nd track on His ND Xmas is "Tinsel and Marzipan" by Pugwash
(and friends).



Pugwash is the nom du band of Irish songwriter Thomas Walsh, and I like almost everything I've heard by him/them, even though some of the songs might be too busy for some. Nearly every Pugwash song is layered with keyboards and percussion and Beach Boys harmonies, so there are a lot of things going on, but his ears are always in the right place, and the songs are all pretty and melodic.

I will probably have one song from their latest album Eleven Modern Antiquities on my 2008 best-of as well as this track on my Xmas mix. I like these songs because they're the sort of songs that I tend to like. What's so funny 'bout peace, harmony, and melody?
