Is the cover of this piece of crap Holiday offering supposed to be quirky and funny? Cuz its just as lame as the songs it shrouds.
Holiday music is important, it sets the mood it brings back memories its just cool in general. In my never ending car ride to Manhattan yesterday the Magpie and I attempted to think up songs that were Thanksgiving exclusives and came up with Adam Sandler….yeah.. it was 4am cut us some slack..
Christmas though? Anyone with a mic can whip off their holiday album and they do. Well, everyone but Scott Weiland who decided to postpone his holiday release as he is busy writhing on a bathroom floor or designing clothing or falling off stages. Poor dear..
anyway so here’s the latest fresh off the press so to speak
A 21 track bag stream of Santa’s Trash:
Cavo “Home For Christmas”
Ben Keith (Feat Neil Young and Pegi Young): “Les Trois Cloches”
Oasis “Merry Christmas Everybody”
American Bang “Christmas Song”
Jason Reeves and Kara DioGuardi “New York in Wintertime”
Tegan and Sara “The Chipmunk Song (Christmas Don’t Be Late)”
Regina Spektor “December”
Devo “Merry Something To You”
David Foster “Carol of the Bells” [Instrumental]
The Ready Set “Wonderful Christmastime”
Foxy Shazam “Heaven On Their Minds”
The Goo Goo Dolls “Better Days” [Acoustic Version]
Rachael Yamagata “Baby Come Find Me At Christmas”
Everest “Christmas in the City”
The Dirt Drifters “Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)”
The Spill Canvas “It Came Upon A Midnight Clear”
Stardeath and White Dwarfs “Last Christmas”
House of Heroes “O Come, O Come Emmanuel”
The Flaming Lips “Little Drummer Boy” (Live)
Franklin “Hanukkah, Oh Channukah” (Bonus track)
The Red Elephant “Brooklyn Sleigh Ride” (Bonus Track)
I love the bonus Hanukkah song btw, it cracked me up. Seriously who swept this mix of performers up off the floor? Regina get the hell out of there you’re better than sitting next to Tegan and Sara doing Chipmunk crap?
Its as if this were the sink drain hodge podge of holiday spew. Put this on and get a straw for the punch bowl, cuz drunk is the only way to handle it.
