Editors' Picks: Merry Christmas!

Okay, here's the deal: For your Christmas/Chanukah/Kwanzaa/Festivus/whatever present, I am giving to you, my Punknews.org brethren, the largest single collection of punk Christmas songs in one place. Available for download are songs from Jimmy Eat World, Weezer, Atom & His Package, Brand New, The Vandals, Less Than Jake, Thrice, Flaming Lips, The Ataris, Goldfinger, Bad Religion, Josh and Eli Caterer [of Smoking Popes/Duvall], Dashboard Confessional, Gatsbys American Dream, Blink-182, and dozens more [including your new favorite holiday song, "Santa's Dead" by Gestalt]. To access these songs, simply click here and download to your heart's content. All the songs are uploading as we speak, but I didn't want to wait until the last one finished, so you can begin checking them out now. Keep checking back for more throughout the day!

NOTE: While a lot of these songs are random one-off compilation tracks and/or out of print, there are some full albums up here. I didn't make these available to screw over any artist's sales, so please, if you like what you hear, go out with your holiday gift cards you're accumulating or your Christmas bonus and pick up an album or two by the artist to keep supporting them.

NOTE 2: I didn't post all these MP3s up here to anger bands or labels, either - I'm simply trying to spread some cheer. If you are in or represent a band whose song I've made available for download and you object to it being there, please email me and I will remove it ASAP.

NOTE 3: Lastly, I must graciously thank Brad at Musatcha.com for the copious amounts of free webspace and Punknews.org user Scott for supplying me with the majority of these tracks. Please check out their websites and support them in whatever way you can, as well.
