Christmastide: Day 2 (Boxing Day/St Stephen)

"On the second day of Christmas, my true love gave to me, two turtle doves ..."

After a hefty price increase in 2023, the turtledoves are taking a break from sticker-shock this year. Their $750.00 cost reflects their rarity.

Every year, I love to show a video of the á capella group Straight No Chaser singing their own unique version of "The Twelve Days of Christmas." This year (just when you thought I couldn't come up with anything else) they gave us a refresh.

Today still feels a little like Christmas, only the stores are open, bustling continued consumer spending in spite of everything. I know, some people may think that's a concession to the over-commercialization of the holiday, but as we mentioned before, it's better than pretending it's anything other than Christmas.

Today is “Boxing Day” in Canada, the UK, and other nations of the present and former British Empire. Traditionally, Christmas Day was when the master of the house would give presents to his family. On the following day, he would arrange for leftovers from his great feast to be given to his domestic staff, in boxes that they could take home. Eventually, it became customary to box other gifts as well.

Whatever works.

Meanwhile, the Irish celebrate this as a national holiday, too, only as Saint Stephen's Day, honoring one of the seven deacons appointed in the Book of Acts, to assist the apostles in their ministry. He was stoned to death by the Jews -- no, not all of the Jews, just some of them, and all of those guys were Jews, alright already??? -- and so is known in the Churches of the East as the "Protomartyr," as he was the first recorded to die for the Faith. And let's not forget that "Good King Welceslas" of Bohemia went out on the feast of Stephen, when the snow lay on ground, yada yada yada ...

It is also when Irish children would go from house to house, begging pennies to bury the wren, a tiny little bird whose size and scale for burial is exaggerated for the occasion, as demonstrated in the above video of "The Cutty Wren" by Nowell Sing We Clear.

And so it goes.

Christmastide: Day 2 (Boxing Day/St Stephen)

"On the second day of Christmas, my true love gave to me, two turtle doves ..."

The Turtle Doves are the most volatile gift in the index this year, growing by 25% in price (to $750.00). Their cost increase reflects their rarity.

"On the second day of Christmas, my true love gave to me, two turtle doves ..."

Thanks in part to the rising cost of feed, you will be paying more for Two Turtledoves in 2022 (up 33.3 percent to $600.00).

"On the second day of Christmas, my true love gave to me, two turtle doves ..."

These two birds were among the most changed gifts in the index this year, reflecting volatility in the markets overall so far in 2021 (up 50.0 percent to $450.00).

Christmastide: Day 2 (Boxing Day)

"On the second day of Christmas, my true love gave to me, two turtle doves ..."

Costs for this flighty pair soared amidst market volatility this year, reaching the highest increase of any item on this year's index. Up over 50 percent in cost from last year, the Turtle Doves were anything but slow to illustrate how increase in demand impacts pricing, at $450.00.

Today is a day when I violate every principle I hold dear and consider going shopping on the day after Christmas.

Christ-Mass: Day 2 (St Stephen/Boxing Day)

“On the second day of Christmas, my true love gave to me, two turtle doves ...”

Last week, the President of the United States, in effect, declared "Boxing Day" as a paid holiday for federal employees, and gave them the day off. That may seem like a waste of taxpayer dollars, until you consider that most of them would have put in for annual leave anyway, and would still have gotten paid, and in some major cities with a large presence of government agencies, it offsets the rush-hour traffic, so more stores can be busier with after-Christmas sales.

So you see, everybody wins.

This is a music video of a recent song by Blink 182 entitled, you guessed it, “Boxing Day” -- or, to be exact, the "official music cover video" by another band, Razor Notes. To hear them tell it, “This time it's not a pop punk version, it's more like the original Blink's ‘Boxing Day’ their first song released as an Indipendent [sic] band.”

The Song Remains The Same: “Happy” Beyond Pharrell Williams

This month, we present a special interruption of “Art-For-Art’s-Sake Theatre” which is our usual midweek feature. This special sub-series is named for the 1973 concert film by Led Zeppelin. After showing two very different versions of an AC/DC hit last month, it was decided to delve into the world of pop music remixes.

This first one put an American singer-songwriter, rapper, record producer, musician, and fashion designer by the name of Pharrell Williams on the map, and now everybody's doin' that happy dance, at a time when the world needs it most. There is even a 24-hour version at

24hoursofhappy.com

You can either watch the "behind the scenes" video above, or you can check the one-hour segments of the 24-hour full monty, whether at 12 midnight, 12 noon, or any hours in between. Meanwhile, everybody is getting in on the act, provided with any excuse for a flash mob. Here's how they get it done in Malaysia.

We have featured Burlington, Ontario-based Walk Off The Earth at Art-For-Art’s-Sake Theatre before, bringing a unique and off-the-mainstream approach to mainstream pop music, as much fun to watch as they are to hear. And here they are with their friends from Parachute, along with the big brooding fellow, being big and brooding as always.

Our next feature is one you can expect given the fun we have here with á cappella ensembles; in this case, the Brigham Young University-based Vocal Point. Hey, didn't we feature these guys once before? Oh, yeah we did, son of a gun! They seem to have grown in numbers since then, not to mention varied in their wardrobe so they don't look so much like Mormons even though they are, well, you know ...

Of course, we cannot forget the ultimate imitation as a form of flattery, starring none other than Weird Al Yankovic and his rendition of “Tacky.” He features comedian Margaret Cho, actor Jack Black, and some other people we can't seem to name at the moment. (Maybe you can, and the combox is open.)

Now, it's understood that you, dear reader, cannot wait to do your happy dance, so we're calling on choreographer Andrea Wilson to show you the moves, as we move on to our intense research for the next highlight of this special feature of our usual midweek feature.

Maybe if everybody around the world would do their happy dance all at the same time (and a search on YouTube for “pharrell williams happy” will give you quite an idea), we just might all stop killing each other long enough to forget why we ever started, don't you think?

Or don't you?
 

Art-For-Art’s-Sake Theatre: Home Free vs The Filharmonic “I’m Alright”

Time once again for our usual midweek feature.

It's been a while since we've seen anything here from NBC's “The Sing Off” hasn't it? We sure do love that á cappella singing, don't we, especially since yours truly has watched Pitch Perfect on DVD about a hundred times by now.

So, let's remedy this situation, as Home Free and The Filharmonic sing off to the Kenny Loggins hit, “I’m Alright” from the movie “Caddyshack.”

That's “Fil” as in “Filipino.” Clever.
 

FAMW: Obligatory Valentine’s Day Schtick

This being Valentine's Day, we had to do something to mark the occasion. This submission is one that could only happen at a place like Brigham Young University, where romance never dies, if only because the Mormons succeed in weeding out all the creepy guys. That's the only explanation as to why the five lads who comprise the á cappella ensemble known as Vocal Point could pull off a stunt like this, even for this week's Friday Afternoon Moment of Whimsy.
 

FAMW: Anna Kendrick: Behind the Scenes of the Mega Huge Game Day Ad Newcastle Almost Made

The time has come upon us for the Super Bowl, which means that we here at man with black hat review the totally awesome big-@$$ budget commercials. We start with the story behind the scenes of what might have been. After all, Anna Kendrick has been a big favorite of late here at Chez Alexandre, after viewing her at work several dozen times already, in the 2012 collegiate a capella comedy-drama Pitch Perfect.

We have plans to devote the next month to some aspects of both the movie (not all of which are completely decadent by the standards of our target audience), and her musical work, but until then, and until we run down our favorite picks among the Super Bowl ads, here's a conceptual rough cut of the ad for Newcastle beer that got away, but for this week's Friday Afternoon Moment of Whimsy.

Art-For-Art’s-Sake Theatre: Pentatonix “Little Drummer Boy”

Time once again for our usual midday Wednesday feature.

The a cappella quintet sensation Pentatonix (featured here three months ago) is at it again, this time with a number just right for the season. And speaking of numbers, this one has gone totally viral, with nearly seventeen million visits on YouTube as this is written.
 

Art-For-Art’s-Sake Theatre: Lindsey Stirling and Pentatonix “Radioactive”

Time once again for our usual midday Wednesday feature.

Lindsey Stirling is an American violinist and performance artist, part of the recurring phenomenon of "crossover" classical musicians. She appears in this rendition of Radioactive with Pentatonix, one of the new wave of a cappella ensembles, that hails from Arlington, Texas.
 

Art-For-Art’s-Sake Theatre: Peter Hollens with The Swingle Singers “Poor Wayfaring Stranger”

Time once again for our usual midday Wednesday feature.

Peter Hollens takes the lead with The Swingle Singers, in this very contemporary a cappella rendering of a classic American folk spiritual from the early 19th century. Video production by Caleb Rexius.
