First off, there’s loads of xmas songs in my mailbox! If you’ve got some goodies, send em on over, there’s never too many! This track is from a local band here in Chicago, Gidgets Ga Ga, that has a record out this year and I’m due to review it asap! But in the meantime, enjoy this cool little widget with their latest Christmas song. It’s very Chicago-y, if I may say so myself (proudly)
I have no real idea why these songs are grouped together in my addled brain this evening, other than the fact that they feature some sort of raw, masculine vocal and sense of perverse Santa/Christmas debasement. Have at that, in whatever manner turns you on. DC, darlin’ … this first one is all for you, xox
