There's snow on the ground in Lubbock. With a little luck someone will pop a little Christmas dinner in the oven to cook. You may find an odd present or two under your tree. Yes, Christmas is here and if you're looking for a real 'old fashion Xmas' with Irish drinking songs and tattooed women in Santa Suits, then you've come to the right place. More after the jump.
Yes, let's call this the latest salvo in the "War On Christmas". It's every "humbug" from 32 versions of "A Christmas Carol". It even includes versions from the Flintstones and the Muppets. It's the ultimate in Humbuggery and it's next.
I've brought up "Krampus" before. In some cultures "Krampus" is, or was, the 'anti-Claus'. Krampus whips the bad kids and puts them in a bag (presumably to take them to hell). Now, for some reason celebrity chef Anthony Bourdain brings you "A Krampus Carl" after the jump.
Have you ever heard the expression "yule log"? Do you know what a "yule log" is? It's a log. Thank you for asking. No, seriously, I have some pre-Christmas history for you after the jump.
Christmas music is a funny thing, especially for a rock station. First and foremost, practically no new bands have put out anything good for the holidays. We've had an odd or an end here, but nothing to really write home about or sing along with. For that reason I'm dipping back into the archives just a little bit to bring you some classic AC/DC with just a little bit of sleazy holiday spirit included. More after the jump.
It's December 23rd and that means it's time for Festivus. Festivus is the fictional holiday invented by George's dad on the t.v. show Seinfeld. More after the jump.
When Cheech & Chong recorded "Santa Claus & His Old Lady" in 1971 people weren't making videos. Back in the day you just had to let your mind imagine the duo doing the bit while you stared at the album cover or something. A few years back, someone tried to add just a little life to the skit and pipe the audio into some "talking Douglas fir trees". The result is, well kind of okay. I think you'll still listen to the whole bit, because the novelty of watching the trees wears thing pretty quick. More after the jump.
How did they even do this? The Grinch song had one of the most identifiable riffs of any song ever. It's barely in this tune, but it still rocks like a super son of a gun. This is like taking the batman cartoons and making it into the Batman movies we know today. This is the Grinch all grown up and ready to kill! Get Grinchy with 16 Second Stare next.
