Free Vice Christmas Sampler and Raveonettes mp3

The Raveonettes - "Come On Santa" mp3

Our good friends over at Vice are spreading the Christmas cheer with a 100% totally free and awesome Christmas Sampler that you can download now at Amazon. (Tell them Stark sent you.) The ten-song collection includes recent favorites and exclusives from superstars like King Khan and the Shrines, Japenese Motors, Chromeo, Dark Meat, The Black Lips and The Streets (whose mastermind, Mike Skinner, is pictured above in an absolutely non-doctored Santa hat.) And if that's not enough to get you pumped up on all things yuletide, then you should certainly grab the brand spankin' new Raveonettes mp3 above of "Come On Santa." (Those Danes just don't quit with the Christmas thing, but we're not complaining.) 

Lewis Black Is Down With Bonnaroo

Mark your calendars, indie-rock fans and drug enthusiasts: the eighth annual Bonnaroo launches June 11, 2009! (Has it really been eight years? Or is it more like four great years preceded by four annual Trey Anastasio benders that nobody but hippies gave a shit about?) Yup, the fine folks at Superfly Productions and A.C. Entertainment announced this morning that tickets for 'Roo '09 go on sale this Thursday, December 4 through the end of the year. Snatch them up now. As Vince can surely attest, you're in for the experience (and subsequent hangover) of your life. There's a nifty payment plan for the tickets, but don't listen to me about it: Let Lewis violently explain in the video above. We're psyched... and only a little bit scared.
