Tired of the usual holiday music fare that’s gearing up for a fever pitch in the next week or so? I’ve been tired of it, but anyway here’s something (loosely) holiday-inspired by the fine folks at EAR FARM and Let ‘Em In Studios called, Do you EAR what I EAR? This alt-rock and folk musical trip of a CD has its tongue firmly planted in its cheek much of the time and I think you need that to get through this overly-sugary season. But lest you think me totally Grinch, the main reason why the CD is posted here is because your measly $5 dollar donation to get this digital download goes strengthen the work of the Association to Benefit Children (or ABC) to carry out its mission to end the cycle of abuse, sickness, and homelessness in New York. And to free any human, especially a child, of a situation of violence and neglect is a welcome gift any time of the year.
Here’s the link to get your download.
