Trash Burning To Soothing Jazz Music

Yule logs. Those wintry staples of a cracklin’ fireplace that runs for a long time to create a tranquil atmosphere. The infernal act soothes the soul with its simple visual and ambient noise. You know it, you love it. You also know that it has been a launching pad for all sorts of revisions and parodies. Shudder has its Ghoul Log. Adult Swim made an amazing short film that centers on the festive fire, and a Rick And Morty-themed one. And much more.

Explosm has thrown its wacky hat into the game with “Holiday Trash Burning to Soothing Jazz Music.” What sounds like an alien description of a human activity is actually the home of Cyanide & Happiness’ fun take on the yule log festivities. Burning copies of their games - Joking Hazard and Master Dater - while the soft melodies of jazz wafts through the air. It’s worth an early chuckle and then an enjoyable amount of chillout for the next 30 minutes.
