Life is a Mixtape / MIDI Mornings
“Don’t Shoot Me Santa Claus!” and other holiday joys
Oh Christmas, often the excuse for an otherwise great band to turn out a cheeseball crooner album with enough sleigh bells to gag a reindeer. From country to reggae to punk to salsa to funk to hiphop there are a few gems hidden among the sentimental christmas chaff. So hang up your cynicism hats friends, and enjoy the cheer.
