It’s still a favorite of many collections, which is why supply is running low! Learn a little more about why this one is so near and dear to our hearts.

Here’s the lineup:

1. Anthony Gravley/The Atonement Hold Back the Rain
2. Anna Swank The Chauffeur
3. Nathan Stack Girls on Film

5. earth thing Come Undone
6. JTruck Secret Oktober

‘Twas the week before Christmas…

‘Twas the week before Christmas
and under the tree
not a present was sitting
with a tag marked from “me”.

I’ve waited to shop
now what’s left is the same
boring gift cards or knick-knacks
that make me look lame.

But wait! Who’s that sending me
an email with care?
Serious Vanity Records – of course!
They have the perfect gifts there!

Too Cool for the Yule
is their holiday treat.
They’ll mail it, or I can download
and my list is complete!

Or there’s Bangs…Sounds of the 80’s
with pop, folk, and rock.
They sell both sets together now
to stuff that rad retro sock!

To make the holiday a little “Duran”-ier
I’ll have to grab Glue.
At 2-for-1, I’ll get one for a friend
and save one for myself, too!

Serious Vanity Records
once again saved the day!
And with some releases a instant downloads
I can even shop on Christmas Day!

So music fans take heed
and always remember
we’ve got what you need
any day in December!

In fact, here’s a free track
to share with your friends.
Happy holidays to all
Together, we’ll make music FUN again!

x0×0,
Dana and Paul from Serious Vanity Records
