Circa Survive is so sneaky. They’re done recording for a while… oh wait, here’s an EP as a Hurricane Sandy benefit. They’re done touring… oh look, there they go to Australia with Coheed and Cambria. Anthony’s just going to do a quick solo tour… oh snap, here he is playing with the dudes from Saosin. And now it’s Christmas… so Circa Survive has given us the pleasure of posting two recordings of Christmas rock songs, “Jingle Bell Rock” and “I’ll Be Home For Christmas”.

Personally, I’m against Christmas music, for it is endlessly repetitive. That said, I love when bands like Circa cover Christmas songs because it means that somewhere, a retail employee gets to listen to something other than the same old versions over and over again. I used to be that retail employee. Thank Circa for new tunes.

I finished school with a music theory degree. Before I finished school, I was a janitor. You really should apologize to all the janitors you've ever had. You hurt them. Seriously. You did.

But, now that we've cleared that up and you called your high school janitor, know that I quit being a janitor to pursue writing about music. So here I am, and here you are, and hey how are you?
