This is the Christmas Edition with Emily and Vu

News:

Pentatonix‘s That’s Christmas To Me is currently the #1 Album sold on Amazon, beating out Taylor Swift’s 1984 and Disney’s Karaoke Series: Frozen.

Christmas time:

Eels‘ “Christmas is Going to the Dogs” and “Everything’s Gonna be Cool this Christmas”, both available on Useless Trinkets… which I reviewed in 2008, saying that it was meant for the fans: “Useless Trinkets, this is really meant for the fans that must have everything. There’s a ton of b-sides and rarities that any true fan would love. I was happy to see that the alternate version of “Dog Faced Boy” is on this collection. I love the original version, but this this bluesy alternate take might actually sound as what it was intended.”
Low‘s Christmas (1999), is an entire Christmas album from the Duluth-based band. As I documented, the first time I saw Low in 2001, they brought out chairs and played low-energy songs. They even covered The Smiths’ “Last Night I Dreamt That Somebody Loved Me” (which is a super depressing song).
Song of the show is Everclear‘s “Hating You For Christmas”, a hidden song off their So Much For The Afterglow (1997) album.
