moriddim saw Cat Power kissing Santa Claus and it felt icky.
Merry Christmas.
I spent most of the early morning and late afternoon finishing this cover of a cover of a cover of a…you get the picture. This is an old ditty, but the one that inspired me to do my own version was that of Cat Power’s. You can listen to her version here: http://snurl.com/944p7
My version was inspired my mid-90’s hip-hop and freestyle with a touch of MIA’s “Paper Planes” thrown in. It’s got a real Christmas spirit feel to it. So much so, in fact, that I dubbed it “the wintergreen remix.” Hope you like it. It’s pretty happy all around.

About me
Synthetic. Dark. Moving. Vibrant. All of these words pertain to the music of moriddim. He combines influences from popular 80's artists like Depeche Mode and Gary Numan with newer beat crafters like the Crystal Method and Four Tet. moriddim also borrows from the cryptic stream-of-consciousness style lyrics of bands like Underworld and Soul Coughing with delivery characteristic of vocalists like Pete Yorn and Beck. Multiple comparisons will spring to mind upon listening, but listeners will find themselves having a hard time finding music that fits just as well on the dancefloor as it does in the living room. Enjoy.
