RECOMMENDATION: The Cowboys' Christmas Ball

Joshua Ligairi » 12.2.11 »

What better way to kick off the Christmas season than with a great new country-themed Christmas song by The Killers? And a super-funny music video to boot. You can get the whole EP for $6 and all the money goes to a good cause.



Now, I know some of you are thinking, "But, Brandon Flowers just came out as a Mormon. Mormons hate LGBTQ. We should boycott Brandon Flowers!" What do you say, gay community, do you think writing six songs and donating a ton of money to fight AIDS is enough penance for Brandon Flowers for simply admitting he loves his faith? Not all Mormons hate LGBTQ, in fact, many of us support the gay marriage movement. I mean, Flowers does a duet with Elton John on the record for cripes sake! Give the guy a break, get into the spirit of the season, and please enjoy this fine tune from a fine band.

RECOMMENDATION: Mariachi El Bronx

What do you mean? It's a mariachi side project of a popular hardcore band, of course. Duh.

I was WAY late to the game on this incredible mariachi band formed from hardcore group The Bronx. Which surprised me because I was already a fan of The Bronx. Thought I'd have heard of this earlier. Thanks to David Nibley of Seattle Street Soccer for turning me on to it. This is one of my favorite songs by the band.



I'd also recommend checking out the songs "48 Roses" "Cell Mates" and "Revolution Girls" before forming an opinion. Hope you enjoy.
