Every year I try to search out a new cd of Christmas tunes. I'm looking for something different. So far I've got: traditional, celtic, new age, blues, cajun, rock, folk, jazz and reggae.
This year's entry is surf. You've just gotta check out Los Straightjackets - Tis The Season For Los Straightjackets. These guys know their surf music. Los Straightjackets pay tribute to The Ventures (also see The Venture's Christmas Album) and others by sprinkling in quotes from many a surf classic.
Bring this one to your next Christmas party.

Thanks for the tip. Didn't know they had a Christmas album. These guys rock, no question. I saw them in concert a few years ago, and they were excellent.

They were just on Conan the other night, they rocked with three elf-babes in Santa-bikinis shaking to the jingel-jangle beat.
