Support the independent voice of Phoenix and help keep the future of New Times free.
Though malls and retail have already been doing it for a couple weeks, we're going to go ahead and make an official statement: It's now totally okay to listen to Christmas music.
And while plenty of Xmas jams are mind numbing, annoying earworms, there's always some good to be had.
Enjoy our list of five Christmas songs worth listening to, and check back every Friday for our updates on Christmas music that doesn't suck.
Doo wop backed by Sun Ra? Yes, please.
The Ramones were always the most heartwarming of the punks.
It's Christmas at the beach, guys.
Nothing beats our boy Michael rocking this one. (Plus, the bass! So good.)
For the Grinches in us all.
Merry Christmas, guys. It's totally okay to say that now.
Keep Phoenix New Times Free... Since we started Phoenix New Times, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Phoenix, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Phoenix with no paywalls.
