Bad Santa VIII

Lord help me, is it that time of year again...?

Something that seems to have become an annual tradition, it's the last Sunday before Christmas and here's another Bad Santa selection, 25 tracks in just under an hour and cheaper than an inflatable reindeer to stick in your front garden.

Bad Santa VII

It's the last Sunday before Christmas, so time again to burden you with another slipshod Santa mix to annoy your friends, families and pets alike.

In a slight deviation from the usual festive nonsense, this one's chock full of 21st Century Christmas choons, bursting with beats, baggy, shaggy and occasionally daggy. A couple of old classics get ducked in the punch bowl courtesy of Skeewiff, Kaskade, Pocketknife, Maps and James Yuill, whilst the new/old UK Christmas #1 by Wham! gets the cover and remix treatment, because you can never have too much of a good thing.

I think the Anni Rossi holiday miniatures have popped up in other Bad Santa selections, but they all make me smile, so they're in regardless!
