The award for best new Christmas song goes to Julian Casablancas. Well, it’s not really a new song. It originally aired on SNL back when SNL was funny. That band’s members were Jimmy Fallon, Horatio Sanz, Tracey Morgan & Chris Kattan. Fast forward a few years and Jimmy has his very own Late Night show! [...]

I have lots of favorite Christmas songs, but this is right near the top. Way back in the 20th Century, it seemed like all of the Holiday songs were done by crooners or jazz singers (with a couple of exceptions of course) but none of the bands i liked at that time were doing them. [...]
When i was a kid, my favorite Christmas song was the Little Drummer Boy. There was even one of those clay-mation specials just for him. There is just something special about that song, and I did end up a not so Little Drummer Boy, so… Fast forward a few years and i’m also a huge [...]
I’ve spent the day sat here listening to The Kinks‘ fantastic album “Arthur: Or The Decline And Fall Of The British Empire“, so when it came time to write my Holiday Blog, it was easy to pick which song to feature. Yeah, it’s a bit of a cynical track, and i’m not the least bit [...]
I was at a party over the weekend and got to talkin’ with someone about The Pogues. He was telling me about their recent show here in Seattle and how great it was, and i was lamenting the fact that i’d missed it! So, while processing the information overload the next morning through a whiskey [...]
It’s Friday, and you know what that means? It’s time for some Neil Diamond. It also happens to be the start of Chanukah at sundown! Who knew way back when Adam Sandler was doing those goofy songs that anyone was thinking, ‘you know? that’s a great tune’? Well, Mr. Diamond was and he’s included it [...]
Tz’s Daily Dose O’Holiday: Christmas Time (Don’t Let The Bells End)
Posted: December 11, 2009 in The DoseIf there is any justice in this world, this next song would be a classic! The Darkness shot to the top a few years back, and then faded away almost as quickly. Whether or not it was all a joke isn’t really the point. The music was good and the band was fun, as you [...]
Yesterday was a terrible anniversary for any fan of The Beatles, and while it would have been appropriate to show a Lennon Xmas tune, it’s kind of a downer song for Christmas, don’t you think? So today’s Dose will feature my fave of the fab four; George Harrison. Everybody knows about John & Paul‘s solo [...]
