blog 2009/12/19 - KWANZANNUKAXMAS MADNESS
Holidays are here, and as per is traditional around these parts, I've prepared a selection of alternative holiday songs.
What's that? Holy shit... _2_ selections of holiday songs!
Who loves ya?
Oh yeah, oh yeah.
OK, well it's mostly xmas songs, but meh. What are you going to do?
At the bottom of this post I am also going to point out the 2007 and 2008 edition as well. If you're new here, that means 4 albums of the awesomest holiday music. Guaranteed to make your holidays better. Or at least, that much more surreal.
Genres range from no-wave, to traditional crooner, to 8-bit interpretations, to experimental, to funky breakbeat remixes, to parodies, to hipster mashups, to childhood classics, to hiphop excess, to funky soul, and to the invetiable deluge of indie-rock singers singing about their horrible relationships wrapped all in xmas sparkle because omg musicians are messed up and are always having emotional issues and man maybe they shouldn't drink so much at xmas if they know they can't hold their liquor and will just end up fighting with their mom and punching their boyfriend but really it has been building for a while and how could they just sit back and say nothing when they know damn well what they are doing and NO YOU ARE THE ONE WITH A PROBLEM???
We have the timeless pseudo-daterape classic "Baby, It's Cold Outside", where our protagonist refuses to take no for an answer and instead plies his xmas sweetheart with more booze and physical intimidation.
We have "Have Yourself a Final Little Fantasy" that will make any NES fan's heart melt.
There's Robert Goulet jazzing it up on the Simpsons and bopping Milhouse with the microphone.
There's Ween with the inexplicable pseudo-rasta accent doing Silent Night, which somehow goes well with Pizzicato Five's rendition.
King Of Pants mashes in some ALALALA goodness to your vomit-inducing pleasure sensors.
And what would xmas be with David Hasselhoff, really?
