For instant party success, follow these simple instructions: 
1. Turn up your bass
2. Add this track 
3. Mingle and enjoy :) 

A Very Indie Christmas

While everyone else is listening to Justin Bieber Christmas covers, you can listen to indie ones, because mainstream Christmas music is so...mainstream. So toss your ironic scarf over your shoulder because you're indoors, stir your all-organic chai latte from the non-chain coffee shop down the street, and turn your speakers up, because it's about to get festive-- indie style.

This video of Ingrid Michaelson & Sara Bareilles is ridiculous. There is so much knit-hat-thick-glasses-musical-genius happening that I just can't handle it. 

These guys crack me up. No video for this, just audio, but it's enough, haha. 

Yes, this song is in here twice. This is my absolute favorite Christmas song, and the Darlene Love version is unbeatable. 

Happy holidays to you and yours from KSG! I'm going to attempt to study for finals now. Key word being "attempt."

Cheers!
