Still chill out there, oddly enough

Not the best time in the year for early-morning classroom appearances.  Anyways, for those of you forced to venture out into the arctic winds, I've got some cold-weather songs bundled up and waiting after the jump.

I woke one recent morning with the understanding that this video was of vital viewing importance. WHAT COULD IT MEAN?!!




Anyway. Har Mar Superstar. I found out about him via Sklarbro Country. Haven't checked out Nocturnal Emotions yet, but I like this and this and (heh heh) this.

I once heard this a long time ago on WNCW, and finally rediscovered it a few weeks ago.
