I always thought Julian Koster was a little eccentric but this is completely insane.
"It?s caroling time again! Julian Koster and his Singing Saw will come to your house to bring songs, stories, and good cheer to you and
your friends ? all you have to do is invite them!
Julian introduced the world to the wonderful holiday traditions of his friends, The Singing Saws, last year with The Singing Saw at Christmastime. This
bizarre and beautiful album and it?s accompanying glimpse into Julian?s vivid imagination has become an instant holiday classic. The Singing Saw at Christmastime
is available on CD, LP and digital download. Stream the whole album in the
Merge store,
and visit the
Merge blog
to watch a video of Julian & the Singing Saw performing ?Santa Claus is Coming to Town.?
You may invite the carolers to visit your house by emailing
musictapescaroling@gmail.com or by mailing a handwritten letter to 450 N. Harris St. Athens, GA 30601 (due to time constraints, please send an email to let the ?caroling ambassador?
know you are sending a letter). Be sure to include an email address or telephone number for reply. Invitations where the hosts indicate that they would
be willing to entertain outside guests on caroling night are preferred. Please note your permission to invite others from the area to your house and whether
you can offer the carolers a place to sleep in your letter or email.
Once the limit on houses on a given night has been reached, the address of each house that will welcome guests will be distributed via email to all who
email
musictapescaroling@gmail.com and ask to attend. The addresses of the houses will not be posted online."
