Color me merry, kids: my apartment was chosen last week to be the site for one of Julian Koster’s caroling sessions. I’ve loved Koster from the moment I first encountered his hot banjo, bass, musical saw, accordian, and synth licks on Neutral Milk Hotel’s In The Aeroplane Over The Sea, and I’ve loved Christmas ever since the first night that I chewed on my stuffed Santa’s yellow hat, listening for reindeer hoofs out the window.
