For today, some slightly more avant-garde/off-beat type offerings for you.

As an antidote to anodyne Christmas offerings, I wandered into town with the Cure’s Faith on my headphones. Which was perfect, until the batteries ran out. Life without an iPod (waiting to have it fixed AGAIN) can be very frustrating.

Sonic Youth -‘Santa Doesn’t Cop Out On Dope.’ mp3

William S. Burroughs & Kurt Cobain ‘Quiet Waters.’ mp3

memo to self: DO NOT go into town on the last saturday before Christmas…
