The Killers, Kimmel Re-Gift Holiday Classic 'Joel the Lump of Coal'
Dec 4, 2018Sidebar
Watch the Killers, Santa Let Loose in 'Dirt Sledding' Video »The charming holiday cut tells the story of the titular lump of coal in the North Pole whose dreams of being a Christmas gift are dashed when he discovers he's destined to end up under the tree of a naughty kid. Killers frontman Brandon Flowers delivered the track with characteristic theatrics, mixed with some extra holiday spirit, while Kimmel — in full Santa regalia — nailed his role, chiding Joel with a hearty, "Ho, ho, you stupid lump / You're just the thing to teach this brat / That Santa ain't no chump."
The Kimmel performance was prompted by the release of the Killers' new holiday song, "Dirt Sledding." The rockabilly-tinged track is the group's 10th Christmas tune since starting the tradition in 2005. "Dirt Sledding" also marks the conclusion of their unofficial "Santa" trilogy, along with 2007's "Don't Shoot Me Santa" and 2012's "I Feel It in My Bones."
Proceeds from "Dirt Sledding," like the Killers' previous Christmas singles, will be donated to the Global Fund to fight AIDS via (RED). The track is available to download via iTunes.

Winter is back in America and here to stay for a little while
Jan 8, 2018Arctic Oscillation to peak in the negative part of its cycle. What this essentially means is that the Arctic’s cold gets dislodged from the North Pole and floods down into the U.S.
Even then, it won’t be the frigid blast that energy traders would like to see to help use up inventories.
“I would still call it seasonable,” Hurley said.
The chill will be arriving according to schedule. From Iowa to Maine, the coldest day of the year arrives sometime in the next three weeks, according to the National Centers for Environmental Information in Asheville, North Carolina.
The cold may linger through the rest of the month, flirting with mild readings or hovering around normal. It is winter, after all.
For the next 30 to 60 days, the outlook gets a little hazy, Hurley said. An El Nino that has contributed to flooding in California and snowstorms in Texas is still under way in the equatorial Pacific and that often means milder winters in the northern U.S.
Sustaining cold as in the past two winters “is harder to do,” Hurley said.
