Ironic that MCR cover “All I Want For Christmas Is You” ’cause all I don’t want for XMas are their new action figures.

So you can pose them having the group gay sex they love so very much.
First post bitches.
do they have Super Sucking Action? Or maybe Terrible Music Kung-Fu Grip?
Oh no – I ain’t falling for another indie Christmas mix. I already have half of those songs, and frankly, they all suck. There’s just something about “indie” music and Christamas which does not mix well. I think it’s because faux-irony/detachment is not compatible with X-Mas. But that’s just a guess.
What is certain is that indie Christmas songs suck – ESPECIALLY Jimmy Eat World Christmas songs.
Come On! Let’s Boogey to the Elf Dance! – Sufjan Stevens
That’s my new favorite Christmas tune.
except for sufjan….
because he looks just like the baby jesus…..
i’d like to hear someone do run-dmc ‘christmas in hollis’…..
word.
That’s a good indie XMas rock list. You could also add The Darkness’ ‘Chirstmas Time – Don’t Let the Bells End’ and Weezer’s ‘Christmas Song.’
My God. Those action figures! How much do they cost? I’ve been looking for a good novelty gift that makes my friends hate me until they realize how funny the gift was.
How, um, “life-like”…
speaking of Sufjan…
i heard a rumor that New Jersey WILL be the next state. someone on a sufjan message board said that it was recently announced in a magazine article. anyone else hear this???
U guys have such bad horrible fucking taste! MCR is one of the best bands out there… but yeah, they should have a Bert doll for extra gay fun…
oooo i want gerard!!
MCR is the best band…ever! These are amusing though…
Every MCR fan should have upholstery tacks driven into their gums because that’s the pain I feel when I hear their music.
Here are a couple more indie Christmas songs to add to your collection:
