Here are two of my X-mas guitar pop faves—

1) The Yule Logs "December In Love". They're a now-defunct Chico CA band covering a fairly obscure track, "Falling in Love" by Puerto Rican Beatlesque busker band, Street The Beat.

2) Reinterpreting "Help!" as "Hark! The Herald Angels Sing" by The Fab Four works waaaaaay better than it should....

WOW! I saw the Yule Logs in a Chico living room a few years ago. They were great. Small world... And you can't go wrong with anything Beatles. Thanks for the killer recos!
