Songs like this, a christmas track chock full of 80s synthibleeps, that's what this blog is looking for. Weird, but fun. And a good track, too.

And, maybe the most important thing, what does your (play)list achieve; to heighten spirits, to have plain fun? Pitchfork's list just f's around, there's no real idea behind it. So, whatabout us, CAGG-team and you, readers, make an alternative Best Of-list? Songs that are criminally overlooked by Pitchfork. Pop songs, rock ...
