Santa's Midnight Run

Just about made it.  Only a few more days until the big gimme gimme gimme hoo ha.  Hopefully we've managed to entertain y'all a bit this Yuletide.  As the days grow shorter, we're finding new tunes amongst our thousands to share, and so we start loading things up (holding a few killer tracks for next year, of course).

Gettin' greasier than a turkey today!

Boca Chica gift us with a lazy-eyed honky tonk fuck off.  Then we've got a trashy barrel house piano and strip club sax shout out from Ebony Moods (who'd make Andre Williams proud). Santa Surfabilly rawk follows courtesy of the Lucky Cupids. Things get a little scary with Bobby "Boris" Pickett and the Crypt Kickers' "Monster's Holiday".  Mountain favorite and Mexican Presley, El Vez brings us a trailer park Holiday extravaganza. The Raveonettes cool things down a bit with their Jesus and Mary Chain meets Julie London brand of Holiday "cheer".  And the gifts wrap up in fine form with the insane rumble that is the mighty Untamed Youth. 


Primo Santa Sauce!

Less than a week to go, and we wanna know...How are you celebrating Shane MacGowan's birthday on December 25th?

Hope y'all enjoyed the Black Diamond Heavies yesterday. We're returning to the Holiday posts today, so it's safe to breathe again.

Another slightly mixed bag of toys today. Some punk, some Blues, some trash-a-billy. You now, the usual.

It'd probably be wise to kick things off with a snazzy little number by everyone's favorite Canadian punk rawkers, Fucked Up. Fucked Up have a new Christmas single out (A cover of "Do They Know It's Christmas" featuring a whole slew of special guest stars), which we highly recommend. But we're not gonna post that one here, as it's for some very good charities. You can check out the info here and how to buy here. Today's Fucked Up tune is an older Holiday single, "David Christmas".

Hard to follow that up, but we've got some down'n'out Christmas Blues from Walter Davis and Washboard Pete. And, of course, what Yuletide would be complete without the mighty, trashy, rockabilly kings Flat Duo Jets?

Bonus re-posts this time 'round features some true classics from previous years. The Dirtbombs, The Legendary Tiger Man, El Vez, and Rocket From The Crypt (man, that's a hell of a lineup!) all contribute their special brand of Xmas garbage can nihilism for your enjoyment.
