Listen...
To prepare you all for the onslaught of audio that I have prepared for the last few weeks of December, I'm giving you a little Christmas treat. Although it seems a shame to push the Kiss songs down in the jukebox only a day after posting them, I thought I could give you a little Christmas pick-me-up with David Sedaris's hilarious "6 to 8 Black Men", recorded live at Carnegie Hall. It's over in the jukebox, or you can download the files to share with your family, friends, coworkers or, if you're less fortunate, your kidnappers.
Stay tuned for the official areseven.com miXmas, a sampling of my favorite Christmas tunes, which is apparently required by law for any music blog, which I sometimes am.

I finally listened to this last night. That is one of the funniest things I've ever heard. Where did you find that?
I was getting a huge case of deja vu but then figured out why. Last week I was checking out your blog links and came across My New Dutch Life. The post from 12/6 has a similar take.
I had heard David Sedaris (along with the equally hilarious Sarah Vowell) at GW a few years ago and when he read that one, we were laughing so hard our faces were wet. The printed version also appears in his last book, Dress Your Family In Corduroy and Denim. All three of his essay books are fantastic.
That recording comes from a live CD that he put out from the same tour.
Yeah, I just listened to it last night as well - I almost fell off my bike from laughing so hard. BTW, some advice: don't try to explain a David Sedaris story to someone - just get them to listen to it - when I tried in my excitement to tell Cory about the story, it kinda became unfunny in the translation. Let that be a lesson to ya!
Yeah, Sarah Vowell is great. I've heard David Sedaris a few times on This American Life, but haven't read any of his books.
I found the cd and have decided to buy it as a Christmas present for someone (note to record companies: see, the flash player *increases* cd sales).
