I've had this clear vinyl Rhino Punk Christmas Tree shaped record since the dawn of CDs. And because of the dawn of CDs I bought a Kenwood linear tracking turntable (because it behaved like a CD player) that won't play the second track of this EP on either side all the way through.



The pressing always sucked, but thanks to Audacity it has been rendered pretty listenable.

Saw this in Spanish years ago in the middle of the night, & wondered what the hell was going on. Ultra-compelling imagery - couldn't stop watching. We've talked about it every Christmas since. Now I'll be able to find out what's the deal.



Really wicked looking devil, machines with human lips, resourceful kids, and wild sets. I cannot friggin' wait!

I'm always lookin' for that je ne sais quoi- that lagniappe from my Xmas lights. It's one thing to put up a bunch, but I needed to modify to achieve certain effects:
First:

I took gold strands and electrical taped together every 10th and 11th bulb.

and hit each one with a coupla coats Candy Apple Flake Red, to achieve this effect:

Effectively randomizing a larger brighter different citrus color for this pine.

Second:

scrape the green off every 10th bulb from 6 strands of green bulbs. (Picture shows scraped halfway.) Want to use the same knife I did? see my Amazon store.

Then affix chili pepper bulb covers over the freshly cleared bulbs and wrap the tree. This is how it looks:

and achieves this effect - leaves and fruits - at night


Lastly I custom painted the bottom strand of red bulbs on this cherry to get a somewhat gradient effect in order to suggest... spring cherry.

The birch I cut should lead to another Magic Wand. I loved the birch and it had some emotional meaning. I saved a little immature branch, because when you sanded the white ones, the finish was ruined. I'm thinking wound copper spiral and embedded baby tooth this time.

Here's the first one I did:


It's from the tip of our Christmas tree from a couple of years ago.


Sanded and varnished for magical look and feel.


Dot of my blood permanently on the business end.


A piece of sea glass from the beach Crail, Scotland - the wand is bored through in order to capture sunlight.

All in all when you point this you're really pointing something.
Look for the birch one eventually.

And lastly, don't worry, I don't believe in magic; Penn Jillette has killed believing in anything for me. Ecch- it's like Camus.
