Heavy Christmas

heavy-christmas-300x300If you’re easily offended you might want to skip this playlist, but if you’re looking to get out of Christmas dinner this might be a helpful tool. There is some swearing and blasphemy. Mostly, though, these are great songs that celebrate the holiday spirit with just a little more volume than you might be used to.

 

Tracklist (and where you can happily ruin your hearing further):

  1. Spinal Tap – Christmas With the Devil
  2. The Darkness – Christmas Time (Don’t Let the Bells End)
  3. Rob Rivers – Jingle Hells Bells
  4. Alice Cooper – Santa Claus is Coming to Town

  6. Blood Sausage – Fuck Christmas Fuck Santa Fuck You
  7. From First to Last – Christmassacre
  8. NOFX – Xmas Has Been Xed

I've been making personalized Christmas mixes for friends and family members for sixteen years. First, I made these on cassette, and as it became clear that my friends no longer had the technology to play these, I eventually, grudgingly, switched to cds. It looks like it's time to move on from that cds, too. So instead of using cds this year, I am going to create a number of playlists that will be available for streaming online. I'll be posting new and old favourites, both obscure and beloved, and I'll be using themes that I've used in the past, and perhaps some new themes as well, rather than creating these with specific individuals in mind. I hope you'll enjoy these seasonal treasures as much as I do, and I hope you'll investigate these artists and give them your support. Especially, I hope to reach all the grinches who have long ago determined that Christmas music just isn't for them. This is Christmas music for people who hate Christmas music.

  2. This mix is awesome! Been loving your playlists on here. A question for you: Is that the Ramones? I thought their version opens with Joey sneering out a line of the chorus, rather than starting instrumental. I’d be curious to know what version this is. Thanks!

    1. So glad you enjoyed the mix! Hey, you’re right, that is really weird! I haven’t listen to this mix for a while, and for sure the version I’m more familiar with is the one you’re talking about. I think I got the version used on the mix originally from a friend, on a mix he made on cd but I guess I’m not sure of the original source.
