We listen to a pretty decent amount of Christmas music here at Foxy Digitalis HQ throughout December each year, always trying to find random, weird, and wonderful gems we haven’t heard before. In 2012, Eden and I made an Altar Eagle Xmas mix that, quite frankly, ruled. I still get asked about it a few times each holiday season and while I don’t have that available here (though I did send it to Patreon members last week, and if ), Eden and I decided to do a much bigger, much more wonderfully ridiculous edition this year. I think this may become a yearly thing at this point.
