djBC has released the sixth Santastic collection, a set of holiday mashups from some of the greatest sonic plunderers in the world (earlier efforts). As always, the Santastic mixes are fantastic. If you want my favorites, try Divide and Kreate's Santatage (MP3) (mashing Otis Redding vs The Beastie Boys vs Run DMC); ATOM's Wonderland Walker (MP3) (mashing Peggy Lee vs Fats Domino vs Bjork); and djBC's Mashing Christmas (MP3) (mashing Danny Elfman vs The Supremes vs Jimmy Stewart).

Santastic Six: 100% Holiday Mashups and Remixes (Thanks, djBC!)

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.

“Nothing Else Matters but My Favorite Things” is totally jaw dropping! Introducing me to DJBC is one of the things I am most grateful to BoingBoing for.

There are some real gems on this collection, some are definitely going into my holiday rotation to keep the holidays from getting me down.

  Agree completely. There are some tracks that seem a little too busy to me, but that’s more than offset by the pure genius in others.

I’m halfway through it, and I love it. My christmas playlist has needed some fresh meat for a long time now.
