You know who's anticipating Christmas when you hear that...Sufjan Stevens!
Whilst at Megatunes the other day, I decided to buy the Christmas CD from your favourite state-obsessed, christian, with the breathy-indietastic voice. By the way, I didn't just say indietastic. It is entitled Sufjan Stevens songs for Christmas (singalong!). I originally bought it because a). Yay, stickers! b). Yay, Christmas cd! c). Yay, indietastic! and it is fitting its purpose for me quite nicely. Basically you have a bunch of Sufjan written Christmas related stuff and traditional christmas related stuff. Some of it is pretty mediocre, but there's a lot of good songs. It's pretty flexible too, there's some cool songs about Christmas, some Jesus-y songs about Christmas, some traditional Jesus-y songs about Christmas and this all means that it's fun for the whole family! A couple other bonuses are the awesome cartoon about how Sufjan Stevens saved Christmas, the songbook with all the chords and lyrics, the cute stickers, the cute pictures, the cute story, etc... So kids, if you like cute and holidays and funny and indietastic! than I suggest you should buy this CD, and if you don't want to buy it because you think this review is silly, just go to www.pitchforkmedia.com, and you'll get an intelligent, non-biased (winkwink), wholesome and most of all indietastic! review!
ps. I'm using the exclamation mark in the middle of the sentence because Panic! At The Disco can.
pps. I used indietastic 5 times.
ppps. One song's called "Get Behind Me, Santa". Yay!

That picture cracks me up!!
Always can count on pitchfork for non biased reviews ;P
Haha yeah me too. I first saw it in a magazine, with a pretty funny caption, it was quite amusing.
Uhhuhh, and Rolling Stone too...(cough)
That was quite an indietastic review! Your remark about Panic! at the Disco reminds me of a t-shirt I saw:
You've! Never Been to a Disco.
Thanks, I pride my self in being as indietastic as possible. ;)
Poor Panic! at the Disco. They probably should've left that exclamation mark out. Maybe they'd be less horrible and cliche...
In the post today I got my issues of NME and SPIN and in NME they had the '2006 Cool List' and the lead singer of Panic! was up rather high, and the only thing I could think of was the damn ! and how much I loathe it.
Thats! Definitely Not Cool.
Oh well, we all have different definitions of cool...
everytime i see this cd, i pick it up and then end up putting it down.
perhaps i'll pick it up again this week. :)
Yeah, the long list of tracks and larger price tag are a big intimidating.
Some tracks aren't very good, but the good ones are worth it for me.
