Among the great alternative holiday tunes from April Winchell's site (scroll a bit past halfway down to "Seasonal Favorites") is "Hang Your Balls on the Christmas Tree" by Kay Martin and Her Body Guards.
Also on Winchell's page, under the "Terrifying Christian Recordings" category, is a truly chilling recording of "Happy Birthday Jesus" by Little Cindy; this track is included on John Waters' compilation of his favorite holiday music, offered with his wishes for "a merry, rotten, scary, sexy, biracial, ludicrous, happy little Christmas." Waters elaborates here on his love of the holidays.
I'll be covering the 10am-12:30pm slots for the WNUR Jazz Show on Wed, 15-Dec, and on Wed, 29-Dec. I'm gonna slip in some less well-known holiday music, perhaps the aforementioned Ms. Martin as well as a nice tuba+guitar version of "Frosty the Snowman" (also at Winchell's site) which seems appropriate to play tomorrow in advance of Melvin Poore's solo tuba performance at the Empty Bottle (though I doubt he'll do any holiday tunes).
Read here about some alternative Santa legends. I like the 13 wicked Icelandic Santas (Jolasveinar).
