Xmas songs no. 14: Rocket from the Crypt – “Cancel Christmas”

I’ve gone on before about how Rocket from the Crypt are my favorite local band of all time, and one of my all-time favorite bands period. I got to see them three times this year, and I’ve already got tickets to see them twice more in 2014 (January at the Casbah and March in L.A.). This song is from a 10″ holiday compilation that the Sympathy for the Record Industry label put out in 1993. SFTRI did a sequel to it a year or so later and then re-released both as a single CD. No lyrics with this one; as with most Rocket songs, no lyric sheet is provided and it’s hard to decipher Speedo’s ramblings.

Best Coast – Fade Away

Bethany Cosentino and Bobb Bruno return with a catchy 7-song mini-album musing on the uncertainties of adulthood.
