Un-Herd Christmess 2018

There's a small controversy these days over "Baby, It's Cold Outside," with some claiming the old chestnut is uncomfortably rapey. And, yeah, it is a little on the rapey side. And I'm personally fine with radio stations not playing it (although I'm a little concerned that, in 2018, there are still humans out there who get their music from the radio). But I think our culture might be guilty of snuffing out a single candle in the middle of a firestorm on this one, because, well - not to put too fine a point on it - my ears get mercilessly jingle-raped every holiday season by the avalanche of goddamn awful Christmas songs.  And that's why I try to compile these holiday themed mixes: just an attempt to offer some respite for those of us who get musically roofied throughout December.
