Chris was the first person to get his song in, and he seriously set the bar high. I mean, full band production? With harmonies and everything? Tough act to follow. Plus, it's super fun!

Sim Castro - Snow
02:10
|

Sim not only picked a classy song but has a seriously classy voice to back it up. You should probably go listen to his bands Yulia and The Albert Square.

Holy shit!! Did you guys hear that note at 3:12?? That shit is amazing! I've heard it a bunch of times now and it still makes me want to immediately high-five Danny every time.

Normally Coral Wave Band consists of Caitlin McGreal and Jennifer Leung, but this sounds like Caitlin and...someone else? Haha sorry, anonymous male singer. Regardless, I love you both for picking what's easily the funniest Christmas song ever.

Credit to Chris Barmonde for writing this year's only original entry! Hats off, dude. Also, those "woahs" at the end are fucking pop punk GOLD.

Myles - Ex-Miss

Apparently Myles had to build a stack of random stuff so he could set his kazoo on it and then grab the kazoo with his mouth at the appropriate moment. Now that's dedication!

Godbless Jeff for picking a Weezer song. And hey, shout out to REAL DRUMS. I think this is the only track on the whole comp that has them. Way to go the extra mile, Jeff!

I think in the original song, the second chord in the main progression is a major not a minor, but it sounds REALLY cool as a minor chord. Well done, Jerj.

That's right, TWO songs by Coral Wave Band. I really appreciate your enthusiasm, guys! And way to dig deep for this gem. Pretty much the best the '80s had to offer.

There are a lot of bummer tracks on this comp for some reason, but for me, this one's the saddest. But it's also really beautiful. Thanks to Tim for introducing me to this song.

This might actually be my favorite track on the whole comp. Super simple but so well produced. Really, really pretty.

Hey Colleen, I fixed your track so it comes out of both earphones now. Hope that's cool!

Fun fact: I was too much of a coward to sing at full volume in my very, very quiet apartment building, so I actually recorded the vocals in my car at like 4am one night. Yep.
