Christmas Crunch 2
Cesarano, Mike
In December 2007, this mashup was excerpted on the show Mixed Bag, hosted by Pete Fornatale on WFUV, 90.7FM in New York, NY. Mike Cesarano's 2005 Christmas mashup. These are songs and clips, some familiar, some obscure, mashed up and presented in a way that is new. ----------------------- FROM CD INSERT BOOKLET: Sorry to have made you wait six years for the follow-up to CHRISTMAS CRUNCH. To make it up to you, this one is a double CD! As I did with the first CHRISTMAS CRUNCH, I fully intend to milk this one for as many holiday seasons as I can. The original CHRISTMAS CRUNCH was made in 1999, but I continued to give it to the new people I met in 2000, 2001, 2002, and so on. I am certain that some of the people who will eventually receive CHRISTMAS CRUNCH 2 have not yet been born. If I wait long enough, perhaps Jack can help me with the next one (or even do it for me). I hope this recording makes your holiday season a little brighter, Literally hundreds of edits went into CHRISTMAS CRUNCH 2, amd dozens of clips from various media. "Jingle Bells Medley" alone contains sixty-eight edits and incorporates nineteen versions of the song. How many can you identify? My hope is that subsequent listens will reward you with new discoveries. Actually, my hope is that you'll reward me by running right out and buying me an expensive gift. Happy Holidays and Happy Listening, Mike, Eila, Jack and Stella (mcesarano@verizon.net) ----------------------- FROM CD TRAY INSERT: CHRISTMAS CRUNCH 2 This compilation was hastily thrown together by Mike Cesarano, November 2005.
