A punk rock Christmas

I usu­ally quickly become tired of older Christ­mas songs (unless the name of the vocals comes from the throat of Sina­tra). The first of the two part CD came out some years ago. Boast­ing many “punk” but more alter­na­tive Christ­mas tracks. Some orig­i­nal but mostly revamped and amped up ver­sions of the clas­sics (some with very satri­cal lyric changes like “I saw Daddy Kiss­ing Santa Claus”). But best of all some of the sales for “A Santa Cause” went to a charity.

Grow­ing up we used to always lis­ten to the “A Very Spe­cial Christ­mas”  albums which was my intro­duc­tion to a more rock and roll Christ­mas. But if you are a Dr. M grow­ing up in the Mama Z house­hold, not rock­ing just isn’t an option.

Boast­ing a 44track col­lec­tion from many indie, alter­na­tive, punk, and even hard­core bands. Such as Blink 182, The For­mat, Saosin, and my fel­low Belle Ver­non PA alumni Punchline.

Check out some of our favorite Christ­mas songs:

Christ­mas in Hol­lis (The Orig­i­nal Ver­sion) The AKA’s cover this in the album.
I Saw Daddy Kiss­ing Santa Claus
Decem­ber Is For Cyn­ics — The Matches

and Dr. M’s favorite Christ­mas movie:

The weather out­side wasn’t fright­ful, but the San­tas were so delightful.

San­tas gath­ered and an under­cover detec­tive doc­u­mented the deba­cle. The detec­tive never reported back for duty and the cam­era was later found in his aban­doned down­town apart­ment. The video is being restored and edited by our crack team of A/V spe­cial­ists. If you have video or pho­to­graphic evi­dence of a Santa sight­ing please elec­tronic mail it to Dr. M at changecolours@gmail.com .

Four.. yes four free shows and T.J. hot­dogs as well… where at you say? You should already know.

The Cas­bah on Ket­tner Blvd. San Diego

So what does Santa do after he is parad­ing around town emp­ty­ing glasses and bot­tles all the while deliv­er­ing gifts to every­one on the naughty list?

He goes to the Cas­bah to rock and and drink Whiskey Sours and Cas­bah Cof­fee. There is one thing San­tas like and that is “free”

Here is the calendar:

* Sun 20 Cas­bah Christ­mas Party — Lady Dot­tie and the Diamonds,The Style­tones
* Wed 23 The Jivewire Before Christ­mas — DJ’s Bart Black­stone, ATARI, El Torito and more
* Thu 24 Exile on Ket­tner Blvd
*Sun 27 The Local 94/9 Presents a FREE show w/ Chil­dren Of Nova,
Ital­ian Japan­ese, West­Fire and Trou­ble In The Wind

So another hot evening with Lady Dot­tie, some­thing good to do on X-mas eve and day, and Tim Pyles with free hot­dogs. This is a win for all Santa’s and every­one on the naughty list.

Santa’s helper’s have been naughty

Santa (aka Kris Kringle) known in San Diego as the “Jolly Red Marauder” just said that he is “Sick of the fuck­ing cold ass North Pole” and in between long swigs from an unla­beled whiskey bot­tle he con­tin­ues “Mrs. Claus is being a sore bitch, I think she is always on the rag… I’m just sick of it.”

Santa turns to find one of his many lit­tle elves (aka Santa’s Lit­tle Helpers) passed out. After a few swift kicks to the chest the elf rises up slowly and scam­pers off curs­ing under his breath.

This Sun­day Santa will be at The Ruby Room. Due to it’s very red theme and it’s avail­abil­ity of tall cans of Santa’s Blue Rib­bon with a Merry lit­tle shot of Whiskey. Santa has moved his work­shop to Hillcrest.

Since most of the elves are passed out drunk or try­ing to score at Flick’s it seems that Santa needs help mak­ing gifts for all the naughty boys and girls.

Gift cre­at­ing sta­tions include:

*Santa Beast’s Zom­bie stuffed ani­mal sta­tion where you can make cute ani­mals into hor­ri­ble zom­bies.
*The nefar­i­ous Dr M. has sup­plied some tools to “enhance” plas­tic and ceramic fig­ures which may resem­ble Bar­bie get­ting a nose job in Tijuana.
* Sac­ri­le­gious Santa will be up to no good help­ing out the evil Doc­tor and the deranged Hol­i­day Night Beast.
*Also fan favorite and local leg­end Piratey Santa may make an appear­ance if she is not pil­lag­ing and plun­der­ing else­where and she is not busy sit­ting on Santa’s lap will be help­ing gift wrap coal for all the naughty boys and girls.

It starts at Happy Hour (6pm) and ends when all the Santa’s Pass out.

Santa Claus is com­ing to town!
