Sentimental Musings Of Christmas Past & Present
by Christie Grimm · December 19, 2020
My family is a bit crazy. For tens of years, some evening the week before Christmas, all of my cousins and aunts and uncles and I have gathered for a 6:30 dinner reservation at Cafe Un Deux Trois. Schlepping up to Times Square just for dinner would under any other possible circumstances be a hard no of course, save this one time a year when this basic, average meal features a silly, sentimental show.
The 6:30 reservation timing is key you see, because at 7:00, the restaurant s entire crowd turns from diners to carolers. Waiter Michael Pollard runs round the room dressed in his annual Santa ensemble (I have a tough time believing he gets a new costume all that often, if ever at all), assigning each table a number in the pièce-de-resistance of holiday songs, The Twelve Days Of Christmas.
Indie Basement: Top 40 Albums of 2020
It s a given that 2020 has been a year unlike any that most of us have ever experienced. Time seemed to fold in on itself (for me at least), and March to December seemed to go by in an instant but also in slow motion. If felt this way for music, too. Albums I thought were last year were this year and vice versa. Looking through the months, though, it was a bit shocking how many records I really liked were released and how many of these groups I wish I had gotten to see live this year.
