What? No other guesses? I'll wait until tomorrow to answer.
Also? I want Charlotte Gainsbourg's album
You like ships. You don't seem to be looking at the destinations. What you care about is the ships, and mine's the nicest.

Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

You're right! And it's pretty funny too. Also the Merry Old Philosoher.
Hold on...
...and they're up.
So quick rundown. The funny ones are all funny. Tenacious D rocks like a mofo. So does the Skeletons track. Soul Christmas is a modern classic. So is And To All A Good Night. That's not Tom Waits and Peter Murphy on This Holiday Season but it is very funny and obviously done by people familiar with both of them. That is Duchovny and GA on the X-Files thingy. Saddest Day of the Year is gorgeous and melancholy - also a new classic. Last Day of the Year is one of my favorite gospel Chrismas songs.
X-mas in Tatooine is very catchy. That's a great version of Christmastime is Here by Combustible Edison - and I think they were one of the first people to cover it, though now it's fairly common.
Oh yeah, the Snoop Dogg is super gangsta nast and funky and great. "Clint Frostwood" is mix of the Gorillaz song "Clint Eastwood" with "Frosty the Snowman." Count Floyd is of course Joe Flaherty from Second City TV.

You have a Combustible Edison song I haven't heard?
Talk about your Christmas presents.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Your show is kicking ass this week, Jon.

Mmmm, I just tuned into WOXY and it's playing "Give the Jew Girl Toys." This is a good thing.
