Shred Room LII: Elsa is Best Princess Edition

Is this a new shredder, or did somebody change usernames?

I generally cite Radiohead, My Bloody Valentine, Can, The Fall, Magma, and Pink Floyd in the "rock" realm; Messiaen, Penderecki (who wrote "Polymorphia," the eponym of my username), and Satie in the classical realm; and John Coltrane, Miles Davis, and McCoy Tyner in the jazz realm. But these are just the tenured offices in my university of favorite artists. My tastes change pretty quickly. Right now, I am in a Talk Talk/Tears for Fears/Japan kind of phase.

those are all island based conjurings though.

Thanks Agi.  I'll keep my eyes open for it and give it a shot.

Hope things get sorted out.

I did like Evangelion (although, ashamedly, I never finished it). I only say "far better" because Furi Kuri was a pretty complete experience— intelligent and viscerally stunning with a great deal of heart and just as much entertainment.

And the OST was definitely worthy of the article "dat."

What instrument? Steinway  & Sons Ah, the almighty Steinway. I would like to own one sometime in my life, but I don't have the money or the piano skills to justify getting one.

it is not his, but the concert place, they costs millions. and weigh 2 tonns. 

Alright.  So there is this fairly well-known and popular Christmas song in the UK from a number of years back which was made by a fairly well-known rocker and this song had little to no airplay in the US.  I downloaded it last year after I heard about it and want to listen to it now, but I for the life of me can't remember the name of said artist in order to find it within my collection, and it isn't listed under Holiday or Christmas in my ITunes.  Any thoughts on what the hell I am talking about?
