The DJs at Sirius radio have switched channel 30 from a pretty decent - though eventually repetitive - singer/songwriter mix, to a godawful Christmas-themed montage. It's all relentlessly bad covers of songs that were, well, relentlessly bad to begin with. Covering "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" or "Walking in a Winter Wonderland" doesn't change the fact that they're both sentimental, tacky crap.
I'm gonna kill someone.

In the last 15 minutes, I've enjoyed Sufjan, Cat Power and some Malkmus. The only trouble is that I keep submitting to the urge to pay 99 cents for the songs I'm hearing.
You probably aren't allowed access to headphones, so this is a moot recommendation, but thought I'd toss it out there. Go kill Santa.
