Christmas Countdown: 2012

September Stories regrets “Christmas 2012” with downbeat pop about how you BLUE ALERTed her when we shoulda all been friends.

The Deadbeats prophecy death, zombies, and needing nothing for “Christmas 2012.” Garage grunge for today.

Weird timpanic rap from Tramaine Hopkins Unhs and rhymes that “Christmas Rocks 2012.” Discouraging.

More bummer from Glove Compartment from whom 2012 is when “Christmas is Ruined.” The old marrieds are miserable and the holidays make it worse with piano-heavy pop/rock. (Reminds me of the theme to Cheers.)

Bugle and Street lay out creole with “Jolly Christmas,” a hollering parang (‘m flashing back to Bobcat Goldthwait) that–i swear–mentions the year somewhere.

Prog rock rulez! “Christmas 2012” is on a plastic sign that appears in the relics of a past age. Spooky mysticism from ifsounds. Guitar solo!
