Wayward Advent Calendar: Mikey’s Xmas Ska Album

December 14, 2009

Nick Spacek,

Some kid posted this “ska” Christmas compilation online. Granted, several of the songs are punk, and one is nouveau swing, but for whatever reason, there’s about five million ska bands out there doing Christmas songs.

For instance: MU330‘s Winter Wonderland, Go Jimmy Go‘s Holiday Hell Yeah!, the Trojan Records Christmas box set, and Moon Records’ Christma-Ska. I’m sure there are others. I think maybe it’s the horns.

Track listing:

1. The Blue Meanies – The Grinch

2. The Mighty Mighty Bosstones – Christmas Time (Sure Doesn’t Feel Like It)

3. Goldfinger – White Christmas

4. Voodoo Glow Skulls – Feliz Navidad

5. Save Ferris – Christmas Wrapping

6. Cousin Oliver – Naked Christmas

7. Tokyo Ska Paradise – Christmas Ska

8. Reel Big Fish – Mele Kalikimaka

9. MU330 – Three Days Til Christmas

10. The Chinkees – Christmas

11. The Brian Setzer Orchestra – Jingle Bells

12. Rx Bandits – You For Christmas

13. Blink 182 – It’s Christmas Time Again

14. The Impossibles – White Christmas

15. Less Than Jake – I’m Getting Nothing For Christmas

16. The Ramones – Merry Christmas (I Don’t Want To Fight Tonight)
