Yes, there's a "Seinfeld" fan behind this charity compilation (note record label's name), released in 2002 and still available this year. Proceeds from this CD are being used to fund research into Von Willibrand's disease, a rare condition that prevents blood clotting. The many alternative rock and pop artists involved here rushed to provide their tunes on the request of producer Dan Pavelich, whose daughter has a manageable case of the disease. Most are original tunes except for Mari Pavelich's "The Chubby Little Snowman," the Spongetones' "Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairies" and the Lolas' "Little Drummer Boy." On hand are the Jellybricks with "We'll Be Together," Jim Babjak's Buzzed Meg with "Christmas Morning" from their EP, alt-pop producer Don Dixon with "Christmas Is Saturday," Andrea Perry's "Fat Aunt Bet," and Lisa Mychols' Spector homage on "Listen to the Bells Ring," with the help of Brian Wilson road keyboardist Darian Sahanaja. Ted Ansani cocktails things up with "The Kriss Kringle Jingle," Rob P. and the Qs offer "It's Christmas and I'm Going Home," an uptempo one-man-band performance except for drums. Cool King Chris exhorts us to raise our glasses in a holiday toast with "High Glass Jingle," Bill Lloyd gives us a witty original take on "The Twelve Days of Christmas," October Elsewhere sings about "Christmas Every Day" and they mean it literally. Other acts include Glowfriends, Phil Angotti, John McMullan, Dom Mariani, Jeremy, and The Bradburys. All told, an excellent alt-pop holiday album. The Amazon link at the album cover will lead you to a copy, but guaranteed new copies appear to be available only through CDBaby.
