More Freaking New-ish Xmas Music

Seeing as the next few weeks appear to be rather hectic for your faithful LET team, i figured now was as good a time as any to start moving some of this brand new-ish Christmas music that's filling our inboxes. i'm going to be in Vegas for the next couple of days (my job is SOOO hard), but i'm sure your favorite Meg Terrible has your back. If i can pry myself away from (read: not get kicked out of) the topless poolside bar, i'll try to drop a few updates in the coming days myself.

What would the holidays be without creepy covers of Psychic TV songs? Less disturbing? Hell, if you can make it through another year of Grandma's borderline inappropriate kisses, what's a little re-usage of dialogue from Rev. Jim Jones’death tapes?"


In true holiday form, Deer Tick has dropped a two-song digital Christmas single that you can find at most reputable (and probably most disreputable) online music stores and also is available for free via the Partisan Records site with the purchase of any Deer Tick item. We've got the scuzzy rocker "Christmas All Summer Long" for your listening pleasure, and we don't even give a flying fig if you give us your email or not. Compromising pictures of your Ex-, however, always are nice this time of year.


Tarjay has put together a pretty nifty Xmas mix of their own with some pretty nifty indie names, ranging from Best Coast to Coconut Records. You can check the entire thing out here, but here's a holiday sampler of some of my faves.

Zut Alors!: Deer Tick To Auction Bus For Flood Relief

It is an unfortunate thing about life that we live on a planet that is extremely dramatic and changeable when it comes to climate and weather. Sometimes, weather wreaks havoc on small clusters of the world's population, and other times, well, things reach truly horrific levels. Such is the case in Pakistan, where flooding has impacted potentially tens of millions of people. Just think about that for a minute. Pretty ghastly, right?

If you've been wondering what you can do to make a difference and help out, well, here's an option. The kind souls in Deer Tick are auctioning off The Flagship, their 2009 touring vehicle, to raise money for flood relief. Visit this here link for further information about the auction, which will be ongoing for three weeks. You can also donate to Oxfam at the merch booth at all dates on the upcoming Deer Tick tour. It's a long tour, so plenty of chances to open up the wallets. So go on. Do a little something good for those who need help in ways most of us couldn't even imagine.
