Santastic 5: more holiday mashups

Mashup impressario dj BC and friends have just released the fifth installment in their much-anticipated annual Santastic series of totally illegal, totally wonderful, totally unauthorized Christmas mashups -- this year with videos. They're all groovy, of course, but if I were you, I'd start with the last track, mojochronic's Motown Christmas.

SANTASTIC V: Snow, Man! (Thanks, dj BC!)

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

This isn’t my favorite of the series but there are some great tracks here. And really, anything that breathes life into the old standards gets points in my world.

Finally I have a reason to like Christmas.

More please.

I’ve so enjoyed this series, and add the tracks back into my personal playlist every December.

I want to like this. I really do. Two fave things for me! But there is something about the pacing of this that doensâ€™t exactly mesh at all.

Nice try though.

That was awesome. Some of the music overlay was off but the replacement of “Roxanne” with “Reindeer” was masterfully done and really made the thing.

I’m especially impressed at that snowman for being able to play a banjo like an electric guitar.
