Festivus for the Best of Us

Festivus for the Best of Us

Frank: Many Christmases ago, I went to buy a doll for my son. I reached for the last one they had, but so did another man. As I rained blows upon him, I realized there had to be another way. 


Kramer: What happened to the doll? 


Frank: It was destroyed. But out of that a new holiday was born. A Festivus for the rest of us. 


To celebrate the sacred Festivus for the Rest of Us, I've got a bundle of completely-unaffiliated-to-commercial-holiday tunes. The list includes Loretta Lynn, Tame Impala, Wolfmother, Le Tigre, Karen Meat, The Go! Team, M.I.A., BADBADNOTGOOD feat. Little Dragon, Elton John vs Pnau, Julien Baker, Slim Smith, and KUSF currents: Outrageous Cherries, The Dodos, Rose Droll, and Sam Coffey and the Iron Lungs.
