Hello people of the internet!

Back in ‘98 Kindercore released our first Xmas compilation (Christmas in Stereo) which featured songs by The Olivia Tremor Control, Of Montreal and tons of others. Well that one sold out so we made a second one (Christmas 2) in 2000 that had songs by tons of other killer groups… and that one sold out.

So… last fall we released XMAS 3: The War on Christmas in a limited edition of 100 copies packaged with a comic book and sold out the run in a couple of days.

I just found 50 copies of the CD that were left over so we are offering those copies for sale this year with a bonus - everyone who orders the XMAS 3 CD will also be entered in a random drawing to win a copy of the long out of print Christmas in Stereo and Christmas 2 CDs.*

Also in keeping with the fact that the original version of XMAS 3 was a benefit for Oxfam, $2 from the sale of each of these CDs will be used to buy toys for kids who would otherwise go without at the Athens Boys and Girls Club.

Of course you can still buy the digital version (including the comic book) from iTunes

The CD includes 20 tracks the Kindercore stable of talented entertainment makers!!

1. Rump Posse - Carol of the Manbarks
2. Folklore - Christmas Ape Goes to The Moon
3. The Observatory - Xmastime (is Xmastime)
4. Fabulous Bird - Everybody Knows It’s Christmas Time Again
5. King of Prussia - Christmas on The Other Side
6. The 63 Crayons - Holiday
7. Ruby Isle - Jack’s Obsession
8. The Buddy System - Xmas on TV
9. Blak Thor - Noel (I’m Giving Love For Christmas)
10. Murder Beach - All Around
11. Mumbletron 2k12 - Outta Bed
12. Je Suis France - Baby, Please Don’t Get Stoned (It’s Christmas)
13. Bunnygrunt - The Blues for Xmas
14. Koncak - It’s Christmas Time
15. Headlights - Kicker of Elves
16. The Show is The Rainbow - Silent Night
17. The Snowsuit Sound - The Ballad of Black Piet
18. Venice is Sinking - The Grey Line
19. The Jersey Barrier - Grey Skies
