{"product_id":"new-wave-xmas-just-cant-get-enough-new","title":"New Wave Xmas: Just Can't Get Enough","description":"\u003cp\u003eAmazon.com\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis seasonal adjunct to Rhino's 15-volume proto-alternative series of '80s favorites is characterized as much by sweetness as wigginess: check out XTC's \"Thanks for Christmas\" and Squeeze's \"Christmas Day,\" the latter of which name-checks everything from tree lights to British comedy team Morecambe and Wise. Closest to true new-wave sound and spirit is They Might Be Giants' Farfisa-driven \"Santa's Beard,\" but this eclectic mix's stretches generally succeed. Still, a couple of complaints: why a dreary \"Little Drummer Boy\" by Miracle Legion instead of the turbocharged one from Joan Jett's I Love Rock n' Roll? But it's churlish to complain about a record so well-meaning that it stacks up a blindingly good \"Rudolph\" by Los Lobos, a vintage single by Matthew Sweet's early Buzz of Delight, and \"Fairytale of New York\" by the Pogues and Kirsty MacColl--what a tearjerker. --Rickey Wright, ISBN13:B0000033W7 ISBN10:B0000033W7 Material Type:audioCD\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CheapBookDepot","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46363399815331,"sku":"B10.34.10 F_UBD_H0001ETB","price":53.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0607\/9227\/5107\/files\/71Lkt4mKB4L.jpg?v=1760386868","url":"https:\/\/usedbookdepot.com\/products\/new-wave-xmas-just-cant-get-enough-new","provider":"Used Book Depot","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
