If you’re sick of the local soft rock radio station playing Xmas music ever since Halloween, don’t fret. While its clear, Christmas season seems starts earlier and earlier each year, that doesn’t mean you need be bombarded with the commercialization of Xmas with advertisements in November and non-stop “holiday” music till February, check out this free 8-bit bit treat from the folks over at the “Something Awful” forums….

You can help the folks who are hosing the songs by grabbing the torrent file instead of the direct links. Or head on over to the forum post for various outlets to download the album. Hopefully this will shake up your mundane holiday barrage of corporate greed and actually make you enjoy the holiday season a tiny bit (pun very much intended).
The guys over there put out great stuff, so if you like it, through a buck or two their way, they accept donations .
If you can’t get enough 8-bit holiday inspired music, also check out Doctoroctor’s 8-Bit Jesus album from last year, album art alone is worth a download.
Merry Bitmas everyone! And A Happy Kill Screen New Year!
