The Drive-in Speakerbox Christmas Special




Ho Ho Howdy folks!

Christmas completely snuck up on me again and knifed me in the back with its frosty katana of holiday cheer. Malls are flooded with last minute shoppers who will produce frowns from relatives young and old when that crappy last minute gift has to be returned as soon as they leave. Times filled with holiday treats that you choke down just because "they worked so hard on it" and sitting around the tree exchanging gift cards to various stores that may or may not go out of business in a few months, when you could have just not traded gift cards at all and spent your own money on yourself...but it's the spirit of giving that counts right? There's just something about the bitter cold, deadly driving conditions, blood thirsty bargain shoppers, selfish whiny brats, and increase in cholesterol that brings out the good in all of us!

So here's my gift to you! Another Christmas special of the most selfish kind. That's right, it's all my favorite holiday movies that get me in the holiday spirit. Don't question my choices! It's Christmas music and you'll damn well like it. There's no receipt for returns or exchanges on this one!

Drive-in Speakerbox Christmas Special



Happy Holidays Folks,

It's that time of year again, time for watching movies about holiday parties that never happen where you work, where the cute secretary gets hammered and xeroxes her fanny while the nerdy mail room guy waits by the mistletoe to sneak a peck on the cheek of that special lady he's been stalking all year. Or movies about Christmas memories that are always somehow better than yours, trees that look nicer, cookies that are perfectly moist and delicious, Santa bringing you exactly what you want or getting in some zany trouble with the real world while the fate of christmas hangs in the balance. Oh, the holidays... so here's a Christmas Special for those ears!
You heard the following selections from some of my favorite 'Christmas' films:

The Worst Christmas Ever IV



I've scouwered the the earth, searched high and low, checked all kinds of blogs, music lists, and discount bins to bring you the absolute worst in Christmas music. This is the fourth year in a row that I have done this tribute to awful Christmas music, and it may be the best so far. While I was doing the show I got numerous callers, far more than I have ever gotten before, complaining about what I was playing or just wanting to know when it's going to be over! So if you are in the mood to ruin someones Christmas spirit, or may be you are one of these sick weirdos that actually likes cheesy and vulgar Christmas music, then this is the show is for you. Try downloading it and having it on in the background while your family opens their presents on that magical morning, thats what I do, at least until they demand that I turn it off.
