Here is a collection of songs I’ve made for the Holidays. My song Black Friday ’05 was unjustly given a copyright claim on SoundCloud and they removed it. The offending song sounds nothing like mine! So I’ve switched to Bandcamp.
“Black Friday ’05” – A Dubstep soundtrack for retail shopping on Black Friday. When I worked in retail, it was a lot of repetitive sounds and movements. Lots of cookie cutter interactions with customers and I tried to reflect that in this song. I even sprinkled in some sounds of receipt printers, a modem and phone dialing, coins on the counter and finally a cash drawer slamming shut, which usually signified the end of a transaction.
“Arp The Halls (Deck The Halls)” – Fun with arpeggiating synths.
“Caroline Of The Knell (Carol Of The Bells) “– My favorite band is RUSH and this is a nod to them since they haven’t done a holiday song that I’m aware of.
“Cure 4 Xmas (Jingle Bells)” – If The Cure ever did a Christmas song, it might go something like this.
“Bert The Haells (Deck The Halls)” – Another Deck The Halls: One of my dad’s favorite easy listening artists was Bert Kaempfert (hence the goofy spelling of this song). This is my interpretation of how Bert would arrange a Christmas song. Yes, I know he has a Holiday album.
“Joy 2 World (Joy To The World)” – This started off as a Duran Duran-type song, but turned into an electronic Joy To The World, complete with bass solo.

I’d love to get vinyl made, but it’s expensive. This is the cheapest place I’ve come across:
