Dear Santa, I hope this letter doesn't freak you out. I realize that it's been three decades since I last wrote to you, but I have been keeping your spirit alive all this time, albeit mostly as a child-management tool. I swear, this will be my last request of you.

All I want for Christmas this year is for the new trance cover version of Pink Floyd's classic "Another Brick in the Wall" to be played dead last at "Vivid Experience 2005" in Makuhari Messe. This killer remake by the Evil Drug Lords (just a showbiz tag, they're not really drug lords) will bring down the house, especially with the lights up. (Can't you see it already? Thousands of crazed lunatics screaming in unison, "Hey, teacher, leave them kids alone!" Righteous meltdown!)

I know you'll still be busy delivering presents when it's Christmas morning in Japan, but this should be easy, really. Just sprinkle some magical Santa dust around the stage when you fly through, or send one of your psychedelic elves. The crowd will do the rest. You won't regret this, Big Guy! But if it can't be done, can you please slide a copy of this track under my tree?
