"indie" christmas mixes are about the worst thing right?

that being said i have a christmas/winter mix that should be finished today or tomorrow

I hope you aint implying mine is an indie mix!? god forbid!

no yours looks great, i mean the stereogum, gorilla vs. bear, etc

I still have a soft spot for the Impossibles's variation on "White Christmas".

I mean, they are, after all, "from Austin, Texas!"

///picked up

Let me clarify though, I'm not against "indie" or those types of musicians WRITING christmas or holiday music, but I just mean there is like point in constantly recording the same ol' tired (and not very good) christmas songs.

I like this thing that hit the internet this year:

Got it, thanks. Will rock out to it later!

Sweet. I'm downloading both of these now.

Finch, you just earned yourself a big fat "F" for not tagging your mp3s.
contradiction, on the other hand, get's an "A+" for even embedding the mix cover art.

Wow, sorry. I do it with no Internets at home, so I have to type the titles all in when I convert them to MP3s. I did it, but I guess they didn't show up. Then I have to type them all up again to make the list of songs.

Guess I didn't try hard enough.

thanks for recognizing my obsessive complusions

Just in case you feel the need for a Slade Christmas album.

and, of course, who could forget the Twisted Sister Christmas album...

Anybody know the song at the end of "Miracle on 34th Street" Simpsons (Season 7)?
