Christmas Countdown: 24-!

Excitement’s building. But the mediocre is cashing in while you’re in a festive mood. Richard Melvin Brown, sounding like a constipated Wayne Newton, mush mouths through the lounge-pop “The Christmas Eve Song.” Now you want your friends to hear it, don’t you?

Celebrating the 24th SO hard, FloRida (feat. Trey Songz) hits “Jingle Bells Rmx” with both runners on the ground! Rave rap what makes you wave your arms in the air like you didn’t know you were doing it.

Couldn’t wait for December 24 begins “Christmas is Almost Here” from House 13 (feat. Musicians Association of Gibraltar), a group-swinging rock sing-along of infectious proportions. Let’s all cheer!

Brian Frank tinkles on the mandolin(?) in a treacly folk kidsong “Christmas Wish.” If you’re here on the 24, comes the ultimatum, there will be meaning to Christmas once more.

Kat Perkins is “Up All Night” in the jazzy lounge pop of ADHD patrons everywhere. You know what night….

New Found Glory will be wearing out “Holiday Records” on the 24th. Rocking pop about my favorite subject! Christmas songs!
