Only one holiday really matters to me, and that's Halloween. Thanksgiving ain't bad. Christmas is just okay. Christmas music, however, is pure trash, or at least it was before Slasher Dave, one of the masterminds behind the almighty Acid Witch, released A Very Lofi Christmas in 2020. Additional albums in the series came out in 2021 and 2022, and if Santa doesn't shit in our stockings, we might get another one this year.
Slasher Dave has also put out a shitload of Halloween-related music, enough that I'm too lazy to post links to every album, all of which can be found on his Bandcamp page. Every year I sit on the porch and hand out candy to the endless stream of trick-or-treaters and blast Slasher Dave, and every year it rules.
So, given how much I dig this guy's stuff, suffice to say I was pretty stoked to wake up this morning to an email telling me that a new album, A Very Lofi Thanksgiving, had dropped. I've listened to it a few times today while cooking, enjoying the cool weather, and watching my neighbors nearly burn down their garage. I really like the album art, too.
Due to unforeseen circumstances, this wasn't the Thanksgiving I was expecting, but I've made the most of it. Thanks, Slasher Dave. I think it's time for the walk around the block.
Happy Thanksgiving, y'all.
DAS
