Holiday music that doesn't blow
I had to go to the dreaded MALL and found myself assaulted with Christmas music while shopping. The most depressing part: it was November 1, a full 55 days before Xmas.
This is my least favorite time of year for public music, because of the endless repeats of the same schmaltzy holiday music. "Wonderful Christmastime" especially makes me want to whack radio programmers upside the head.
Now, I have no personal intention of listening to any Xmas music until maybe 5 days before the actual holiday, but when I do, what's going to keep me in the holiday spirit instead of making me want to go all Grinch on everyone?

I do like a little Soul Brother No. 1 in the X-mas Music. Make me want to kiss myself!

Damn, that was great.
Google tells me that that tune is on the "Executive Edition" of the Challengers album
I need it to be on the regular editions :<(
On a related note, now playing "If You Can't See My Mirrors"
Hey, Dan Bejar sounds pretty good singing here....not like a Merlin or an Elf like he does on his Destroyer albums....

Cold Chisel's 'home and broken hearted' was written about coming home a week before xmas only to find your girlfriend had left. An awsome take on a not so happy holiday experience.

Like the kid that is tripped out on laughing gas after the dentist, I feel compelled to ask.."Is this real life?"
