Kiki & Herb - Do you hear what we hear…who else but the most fearsome drunk lounge-duo can bring you such christmas classics where ‘Rudolph’ merges with ‘Smells like Teen Spirit’ and ends the song with ‘Suicide is painless’? Various - A John Waters Christmas…what is Christmas without such songs ‘Santa Clause is a black man’ or ‘Little Mary Christmas’ Both are must-haves for those enjoying a Christmas of a different way ---

One of my favourite CDs is [A Santa Cause (It’s a Punk Rock Christmas)](http://www.amazon.com/Santa-Cause-Various-Artists/dp/B0000DF2KQ) as well as [It Was a Night Like This](http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=140054053668&ih=004&category=307&rd=1) which has some really nice songs (Christmas Traveller, Scarlet Ribbons)as well as some personal favourites like Merry Bloody Christmas and Honky Tonk Christmas. Anything by Bob Rivers is also a hit with me. I like listening to them after being out in public places for too long during the Christmas season.
