My favorite Christmas song this year is by U.S. Girls, the pseudonym for the Toronto-based American Meghan Remy.
“Santa Stay Home” perfectly reflects this year’s holiday.
BTW, tonight I continue with my annual show, Christmas Eve with Oedipus, 6 hours of non-traditional holiday music heard only once a year and centered on peace, love and understanding. Hear it on WGBH, 89.7 in Boston or wgbh.org.
6 pm-Midnight
“Santa Stay Home”
Austra’s new album, Future Politics, incorporates a variety of electronic styles.
We must also note that this Toronto-based band wrote Future Politics before the events of the last half of 2016.
I Love You More Than You Love Yourself is the gorgeous single.

If corporations were people many would be in jail for destroying so many American lives.
All true change in this country has come from the streets, from the first American Revolution to the Civil War to Civil Rights.
Occupy Wall Street is in this great tradition and what we experienced last year is only the beginning.
And hopefully, our musical artists, unlike their disgraceful silence during the Iraq War, will make themselves heard and once again sing for justice, equality and basic human rights.
OWS has grown into a global movement. Inequality is intercontinental. Our foray into the sounds of the protest begins with a band from North America. Our Lady Peace, from Toronto, encourages us to “Fight the Good Fight”.

The album is set in a fictional British town in the late 70s and early 80s during the first wave of British punk.
