After A Dramatic Pause, He Says “My Name Is Santa Claus”
Justus Köhncke “Wo Bist Du” – It seems that without exception, the schaffel that I enjoy the most is always the very fruity quasi lite-FM stuff. This is probably the fruitiest bit of schaffel yet, even beating out Köhncke and Meloboy’s “Frei/Hot Love” from the Kompakt 100 compilation. (Click here to pre-order it from Kompakt.)
Eyeball Skeleton “Santa’s On The Run” – This seems to be reaching a bit too aggressively for the left field novelty Christmas record brass ring, but it’s all in good fun. Basically, this is a couple silly kids and their dad doing a very catchy little song about a fugitive Santa Claus, complete with a few baffling echo-heavy interludes that sound as though one of the children is singing from the bottom of a well.
