Due to this $@#$@ transit strike we're dealing with, we have no choice but to postpone Christmas and Hanukkah this year. Download "Christmas in Cancelled" and other alt-Christmas MP3s at songs:illinois.
AND THEN...
* The Strike that Stole Christmas
* When will we see the Flaming Lips' Christmas on Mars?
* Shopping During the Strike Already Down
* Indie music giant Amoeba keeping stockings stuffed
* The Hilton Family Christmas Card
* The Beatles Christmas Recordings
* 100 songs that namecheck Christmas without being Christmas songs
* The He-man & She-ra Christmas Special
* You can't stop NYC
AND rather than compiling most of the new, indieish, free Christmas MP3s hitting my inbox, I can just send you over to Stereogum who has done most of the job for me.
EXCEPT HE MISSED THIS ONE: Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer (MP3) by the Slip (appearing at Southpaw in Brooklyn with Apollo Sunshine 12/30/05).
Now go vote in the URBS. Happy Holidays!

Honestly, I'm just hoping the TWU gets back in the trains in time to take me home from the Chris Thile show, tonight. Though IMMEDIATELY would be nice.

You forgot The Walkmen's "The Christmas Party" ... the best Christmas song ever.
[it's free on their website...]
