Holiday Gift Guide: ‘A Very Random Christmas’ Nerdcore Album

Publisher: Random, a.k.a. Mega Ran

Price: Whatever you'd like to pay!

I am a guy who loves Christmas music to the point where I'll occasionally start listening to it a little early -- like, say, March -- but even I get tired of hearing different versions of the same 20 songs every year. That's why I loved A Very Random Christmas, the album where the nerdcore MC who brought you Forever Famicom raps over beats made from the classic Vince Guaraldi soundtrack to A Charlie Brown Christmas.

It's a great soundtrack for your holiday merrymaking, and it's the perfect surprise gift fans of Christmas music who are also into artists like Adam WarRock or mc chris, the guys that Random was on tour with this fall. And best of all, it's another one of those presents you can get on the cheap: The six-track EP is available digitally for any price you want to pay -- including $0 -- with the money going to support Random's upcoming tour of Japan. Or you can snag a physical CD with instrumentals of all six tracks for just $7. Just don't wait 'til Christmas morning to hand it over -- you're going to want some time to listen to this one, and March is a long way away.
