LoveHounds may be interested in a rather odd Christmas CD:

	Gross Santa's Yuletide Favorites
	Sound Museum AVL90117CD
	Sound Museum, RSI, Boston MA 617-423-4959

It's a compilation of traditional Christmas music performed in non-
traditional ways.  The performances are for the most part in the alternative
rock genre -- lots of synths and drone guitar.  It's of interest to KaTefans
because:

	1)  The arrangements are more complex than is the norm for this
	    type of music,
	2)  There are several female vocalists represented
	3)  There is a truly great version of the Coventry Carol by Patty
	    Barkus -- I don't know anything about her, but I hope to learn
	    more;  the production (with background whispers, odd synth
	    programming, and complex overlayed percussion) is definitely
	    working along KaTely lines...

Also, two of the groups are friends of mine...  This is a Boston area project,
and I don't know if it is being nationally distributed, but it's worth a 
listen if you can find it.

footah!
