Does anyone out there have favorite Christmas music? Something that stands out from the usual holiday fare? (The way Josefina phrased her latest post to the "Best of 2005" thread gave me the idea for this one.) A few I'll suggest: LOS STRAITJACKETS - 'Tis the Season for Los Straitjackets ESQUIVEL - Merry Xmas from the Space-Age Bachelor Pad JAMES BROWN - Funky Christmas V/A - Just Say Noel BRIAN SETZER - Boogie Woogie Christmas And any of the five (to date) "Twisted Christmas" CDs by Bob Rivers. None of them is consistent from start to finish -- the efforts at sketch comedy tend to slow things down. But anyone other than a true Scrooge will find plenty to laugh at with these. https://trouserpress.com/forum/read.php?1,3331,3331#msg-3331 Fri, 06 Mar 2026 00:01:37 +0000 Phorum 5.2.23 https://trouserpress.com/forum/read.php?1,3331,3426#msg-3426 https://trouserpress.com/forum/read.php?1,3331,3426#msg-3426 STEVE Trouser Press Thu, 22 Dec 2005 05:08:22 +0000 https://trouserpress.com/forum/read.php?1,3331,3424#msg-3424 https://trouserpress.com/forum/read.php?1,3331,3424#msg-3424 zwirnm Trouser Press Thu, 22 Dec 2005 04:37:18 +0000 https://trouserpress.com/forum/read.php?1,3331,3421#msg-3421 https://trouserpress.com/forum/read.php?1,3331,3421#msg-3421
Oh, give me a noose I can hang from the tree,
I need no excuse to end my misery,
This holiday season is all the more reason to die.

and:

The bottle is empty, the sleigh has a flat,
The stripper in my bed is ugly and fat,
Her tassles are tangled, And what's worse, my jingle won't jangle.Delvin wrote:

"New Wave Christmas: I Just Can't Get Enough" has Los Lobos, Squeeze,Throwing Muses, Wall of Voodoo, and XTC called the Three Wisemen. I have it on cassette, I couldn'y find it anywhere on CD.

"Christmas With The Vandals: Oi to the World" a classic nogged out slice o' holiday fun.

My mom got me "Its' goona be a Punk Rock Christmas" by the Ravers, which I never took out of the plastic and sits pristinely next to my signed (by all members) copy of the Modern Lovers first ellpeeee.]]> madisdadi Trouser Press Tue, 20 Dec 2005 17:56:05 +0000 https://trouserpress.com/forum/read.php?1,3331,3401#msg-3401 https://trouserpress.com/forum/read.php?1,3331,3401#msg-3401

(The way Josefina phrased her latest post to the "Best of 2005" thread gave me the idea for this one.)

A few I'll suggest:

LOS STRAITJACKETS - 'Tis the Season for Los Straitjackets
ESQUIVEL - Merry Xmas from the Space-Age Bachelor Pad
JAMES BROWN - Funky Christmas
V/A - Just Say Noel
BRIAN SETZER - Boogie Woogie Christmas

And any of the five (to date) "Twisted Christmas" CDs by Bob Rivers. None of them is consistent from start to finish -- the efforts at sketch comedy tend to slow things down. But anyone other than a true Scrooge will find plenty to laugh at with these.]]> Delvin Trouser Press Fri, 16 Dec 2005 01:22:50 +0000
