PARENTAL ADVISORY (one use of the F-word).
Vienna is supposed to be a beautiful, romantic city. But it doesn't matter where you go, there are always going to be lonely people for whom Christmas is just the coldest time of year. Some of them may well find their holiday warmth and cheer in a bottle of whiskey.
I do love this anti-Christmas Alt Folk tune from Vienna's Schneida. And it comes in two flavors...English and German. In English, it's "Drunk Christmas". In German, it's "Blaue Weihnachten" (which is technically Blue Christmas, but we're not sticklers for detail around here).
Schneida have a particular interest in American singer/songwriters (especially Todd Snider) and their ability to write slice of life songs. That's what Schneida tries to do. And, wherever in the world you are, wherever you're from and wherever you go, those little life moments are ultimately the same all over.
Both the English and German versions of "Drunk Christmas" are free for your downloading pleasure HERE (right click, "save as") from Schneida. Kick around the website a bit and you might find an entire "bootleg" you can also download free. But they do ask one thing. "[D]ownload the song, but do something to 'earn' it - donate to your favorite charity, give a homeless person a cigarette, call your parents. Just do something you do not usually do, but do something that makes the world a slightly better place."
