    A couple of years ago I did with my friend tachepiranha (board member) a pretty cool rockin' Xmas. cd, will try to find it and look at the songs it had.
    Off the top of my head I remember two stellar tracks:

    Christmas Without Weed (sad, sad song, I never knew for sure who sang it, got it from a P2P program)
    and
    Everything's Gonna Be Cool this Xmas. by the eels.
    Stone: Thanks for the pick and the night of complicity, you rock!
