If you want to have fresh ears on an overly familiar song, Charly Bliss does All I Want For Christmas Is You. NPR: "The band scales back the euphoric production for something more handmade, like a macaroni-and-glue holiday card — effervescent power-pop swung to an early '60s rock 'n' roll drum beat (think "That Thing You Do") and led by Eva Grace Hendricks' rosily pinched voice."

Bonus: Charly Bliss cover Len's Steal My Sunshine.

Very nice. This is my favorite version though - “All I Want for Christmas is You” through a MIDI converter, and then back through an mp3 converter

Holy. Shit.

And I mean that in every possible sense of those words, jointly and severally.

And that sounds like a player piano from a cowboy movie.

Or Mariah Carey covered by Conlon Nancarrow.
