I see another trend - me forgetting about my job and you getting two songs every other day. The ever calming sounds of the original Parrothead should soothe your anger towards BDM. In fact, you’re probably so angry that it might take two Buffett tunes. If you’re anywhere near me today, its cold. And the island sound warms up my office a slight bit.

Take it from me, ladies like this one. In fact, you should find an open-mic night at a local coffee house and duet it up with your significant other. If you happen to take my advice, please video and send it in. I can promise it will be aired here. Merry Christmas to me.

Song: Baby It’s Cold Outside

I really don’t have anything witty to say but I do like the song. Their MySpace has a note that they have a new Xmas EP coming out soon with a song called Christmas in Cleveland, I assume that could be entertaining?

Man, I sure thought coming up with 24 decent Christmas songs wasn’t too big of a deal. Our list of good ones is getting shorter but the days don’t seem to be passing quite as fast. Still some good tunes left but we do have some room if you’ve got one you think should be included.

Time to pick it up a little bit, a live version of Jason Mraz from the now defunct Craig Kilborn show. If you ask me, it was a show worth canceling. The song on the other hand is ripe with mouth solos and trumpets. It’ll be stuck in your head all day. But not in a bad way.
