Happy Holidays (Video Playlist)

While this site’s holiday mixtape eschewed things like happiness and familial resolve in favor of uncertainty and depression, there are certain songs out there (though Burger did a hell of a job trying to cover literally everything) that deserve being touched upon. Take some time to check a few of them, both bitter and sweet, out below.  There’s an extra bonus track at the very bottom for those looking to move on to the next thing. Enjoy- and have a happy holidays.

Reigning Sound – If Christmas Can’t Bring You Home

The Royal Guardsmen – Snoopy’s Christmas

Descendents – Christmas Vacation

Run the Jewels – A Christmas Fucking Miracle

Sparks – Thank God It’s Not Christmas

Future of the Left – The Real Meaning of Christmas

–

And, finally, one for anyone just drifting along absentmindedly, looking for the next thing to latch on to.

Tom Waits – New Year’s Eve

Burger Streams Massive Holiday Mix

Burger Records Holiday Mix Stream Cornershop Muffs Christmas

By now it should be fairly clear how this particular site feels about this particular label. In the latest installment of this string of breathless coverage, it’s time to focus on yet another holiday mix. If yesterday’s ostensibly anti-holiday Heartbreaking Bravery mix left a bad taste in anyone’s mouth (which, incidentally, starts with a song that Burger once released), this should wash it out well. Burger Records have compiled (and are streaming) an absolutely massive holiday playlist that spans their roster and expands to include Burger-affiliated bands. In total, the mix is a whopping 65 songs and runs for nearly three hours.

There are original songs, traditional carols, and even a few foreign-language selections. It’s one of the more unique mixes to be released this year and certainly one of the most sprawling. So, should anyone be looking for good spirit without sacrificing a punk-leaning edge, Burger has you covered for several holiday seasons. The mix is available for full streaming over at SPIN, on the label’s Soundcloud, and below. Happy Holidays.
