day seven: the playlist requirement

by cynthia on December 21, 2011

Last week, I woke one morning from a tumultuous slumber with the remnants of a yucky, small-feeling dream still fresh in my cobwebby brain. I turned to my musical muse Danette for help to groove it away. She recommended the perfect tune, via hoop goddess Allison Tarr. Thus, Katzenjammer’s “I Will Dance (As I Walk Away)” has been on heavy rotation since.

Dancing. It. Out. 

And so, it struck me: Grinchmas needs a playlist. An alternative to the “wanna stab myself in the eye and maybe both ears with my car keys” mall tunes and the crud that is on every. stinking. radio. station.

The lovely Allison agreed to collaborate with me on a Grinchmas mix, and we spent Monday morning giggling and compiling. I hope you like my Grinchmas Mix!

PLUS: Allison went buck-wild and created her own Grinchmas mix, which is just awesome! Check it out to round out your holiday-listening pleasure: that is some uber-cool holidaze alternative music.

And on the seventh day of Grinchmas my true love said to me: “Dance that sucka out.”
