Mistodon: The damn beautiful fool of an elf did it, he went too far this time, pulling off one last Christmas... but at what cost? This depiction of Santa's gift-wrapped funeral was drawn by @littlebitspace and LDA for this date in last year's ADVENT24 #ANSIart #AdventCalendar.

Rows of elves and reindeer weep and mourn at the funeral of an implied Father Christmas, depicted only through a neatly gift-wrapped funeral casket.

#HipHopAdvent 24: 2000s (2013)

DMX - Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer (2013) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=14IWZ4RcQVk

DMX (R.I.P.) would later release a studio version but his instantaneous, live and improvised rendering of Rudolph during an interview is just absolute festive comfort and joy.

Merry Christmas everybody — COME ON, COME ON!!

#HipHopAdvent 23: 2000s (2013)

Run the Jewels - A Christmas F*cking Miracle https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQ5rI461KNE

Run the Jewels is the vehicle of Atlanta rapper Killer Mike and New York rapper, producer and once indie hiphop record label owner El-P, self-declared independent as fuck. This is a modern Christmas classic, a monster of a track which perfectly illustrates how hiphop has thankfully been able to recover from the Diddy era.

#HipHopAdvent 22: 2000s (2012)

Sufjan Stevens feat. Busdriver - Ding-a-ling-a-ring-a-ling (2012) https://soundcloud.com/asthmatickitty/son-lux-and-busdriver-ding-a

The perfect antidote to yesterday’s commercial crap is 2000s indie hiphop. Given away for free on the internet, this is from indie singer/songwriter Sufjan Stevens’ Christmas remix album Chopped and Scrooged, and pairs Stevens with LA experimental rapper Busdriver. It’s a wild ride, as many of Busdriver’s tracks are, and well worth a listen. Merry something!

#HipHopAdvent 21: 1998

Rap Allstars feat. Leroy Daniels — Last Christmas https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=TpVjqmB2VoE

A mega pop hit, replayed straight through as if it’s a backing track, this is the kind of shit production that Puff Daddy established as the new shape of hiphop in 1997 (with, e.g., I’ll Be Missing You). This German Diddy clone shows how quickly the style went global. God this shit is cringeworthy. That’s it for the year-by-year chronological breakdown because who wants more of this.

#HipHopAdvent 20: 1997

Rev Run feat. Puff Daddy, Mase, Salt N Pepa, Snoop Dogg, Keith Murray & Onyx — Santa Baby https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Gy0uMDz7yo

When this came out, Tupac and Biggie had recently, within the space of half a year, each been shot, two murders fuelled by an East Coast / West Coast feud driven by confected animosity between LA’s Death Row Records and NYC’s Bad Boy Entertainment. Remarkably, in this context, this charity recording pairs Death Row’s leading rapper Snoop Dogg with Bad Boy’s owner Puff Daddy. The fewer words said about the latter the better, but Snoop’s rhymes on this are hilarious - calling Santa Claus “the enemy” because he’s wearing red (Snoop’s gang affiliation is with the blue-wearing Crips).

#HipHopAdvent 19: 1996

Snoop Dogg feat. Daz Dillinger, Nate Dogg, Tray Deee, and Bad Azz — Santa Claus Goes Straight To The Ghetto https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=so1i47jcHf8

Thanks to Dr Dre, by the mid-1990s, the West Coast G-Funk sound, based largely around replayed funk and soul grooves, had taken over hiphop, and hiphop had taken over pop. From the collector Christmas on Death Row, this track was produced by Dr Dre’s protégé Snoop Dogg himself.

Day 4 of the 2025 #dragonfly #AdventCalendar. An immature Black-tailed Skimmer settling in to roost at the wonderful #Wiltshire #WildlifeTrust reserve at #LowerMoor Farm in early June. Males turn blue after a few days while females retain this black and yellow stripy pattern. #DragonflyAdventCalendar #invertebrates #ukwildlife #wildlife #insects #invertebrates #wildlifephotography #photography

A black and yellow dragonfly clings to a dead reed stem. Nettle plants can be seen out of focus in the background.

Jour 2, ou J2 comme on dit dans le jargon, et voici une petite frise discrète repérée en passant devant le Hansa Gymnasium à Stralsund, un lycée achevé en 1913 qui mélange néogothique et Jugendstil. C’est tout bête, mais élégant, et ça coupe efficacement une façade un peu austère, un peu rectiligne. Bref super idée déco, c’est validé ça part direct dans le moodboard de l’Avent. Septembre 2021.
