December’s about here and you know what that means: no matter where you go there’s going to be an insufferable amount of Christmas music. Maybe you got a taste this past Black Friday and you’re already dreading the commercial nightmare that is fa-la-las and ding-dongs. Well have no fear, because we’ve got the best reprieve to hours of decking the halls and ringing bells. The Kooks have had a strong run of sold out shows throughout North America, and we’ve got a pair to their booked show at Crystal Ballroom on December 5.
All you gotta do is watch their recent performance on Letterman below and tell us what junk is in your heart. Send responses to danielle[dot]fowler[at]melophobe[dot]com and start going over your nice list for a date.
DEADLINE: DECEMBER 4 AT 12 PM PST.
