Booster Patrol has eight new Christmas carols for your holiday festivities. Here is a link to the YouTube playlist. If you’d like to hear them complete with commentary on UATV, we also played them all on last night’s Darkstream.

A Very Boosted Christmas
We’ll be hosting our annual Christmas carol hangout on the Darkstream tonight at 7 PM Eastern. UATV-only, so don’t miss it if you’re a subscriber!
Pure Hopium
Just in time to gift it to all of your Democrat friends and family, and in preparation for the inauguration, the soundtrack to the second coming of Donald Trump to the White House has been released. MAGA Thunder has released SEVEN (7) different mixes of its FOUR MORE YEARS single celebrating the recent US presidential election.
You can listen to all 25 minutes and 48 seconds of pure political hopium on Youtube. The MAGA Thunder masterpiece is also available on Spotify and iTunes.
Four More Years – The Storm 4:43
Four More Years – The Real America 4:42
Four More Years – The Man is Back 3:13
Four More Years – Red State Country 3:23
Four More Years – 47 Seconds to Trump 3:12
Four More Years – Lightning Strikes Twice 3:22
Four More Years – Alpha City 3:13
Unauthorized subscribers can also listen to Four More Years – Rocket Girls which was not released to the public since it’s a little too brilliant for the average individual to comprehend, as well as Four More Years – Health and Human Services. A Booster Patrol cover is also in the works for the inauguration, which will take the level of awesome to eleven. Be sure the share the love this Christmas season.
You knew that he was coming back,
The man you couldn’t stump.
You knew you couldn’t stop him,
The man named Donald Trump,
More Christmas, More Carols
We’re hosting our annual Christmas party today, so posting will be light. But please enjoy the latest releases from Vibe Patrol, being a spin on Good King Wenceslas as well as a new celebration of the Christmas season called The Word Descended. I like cheerful odes to the season as much as the next man, but the divine descent into darkness is the aspect of Christmas that strikes me as the most meaningful, and which I find the most compelling.
The dark carol was inspired by the verse inscribed in stone in a small Italian church where I used to live.
Il Verbo si fece carne e venne ad abitare in mezzo a noi.
The Word descended,
God made real.
A child is born
For His ordeal.
The Word descended,
Of flesh and bone,
The King will come
To claim His throne.
The Son of God,
The Sacrifice,
To free Mankind
He paid the price.
A New Song
This song is not a Christmas carol. This song is not a rebel song. This song is Hop Hop Dooby Boo.
This Very Night
Today marks the release of THIS VERY NIGHT by Cradle to Calvary, which is a new Christmas carol written in the traditional sense. Which is to say that it is a religious carol about the Christian holiday that celebrates the birth of Jesus Christ rather than a cheerful song about Santa Claus, the local weather patterns, or urban shopping experiences. The version you can listen to here is an alternative and previously unreleased one, an acoustic take on the more traditional carol that was released today on iTunes and Spotify. Unauthorized subscribers can also listen to it and download it from UATV.
You can hear a preview of the released single, the Holy Call mix, by clicking on the image below. You can also listen to it on YouTube.
The Word Descended
This is a very different sort of Christmas carol. It’s probably not at all to your taste, and certainly isn’t one you’ll hear any carolers ever sing, but it’s reflective of a Christmas sermon I heard many years ago by Greg Boyd, one which I’ve never forgotten, about the more somber aspects of Christmas. You can listen to it on UATV.
The Word Descended
God made real
A child is born
For his ordeal
A cleansing flame
The sacrifice
To free Mankind
He paid the price
Good King Metal
Last night I introduced two new Christmas carols on the Darkstream, one original and one a very different take on a very traditional classic. Both are very much in line with what Owen and I discussed three years ago about the decades-long secular subversion of Christmas music and our desire to do something about that. They’ll be released to the public later this month, but UATV subscribers can download high-quality MP3s now.
Now roads are clear of snow
The world has changed completely
Yet there is one thing we know
A son was born uniquely
It’s Jesus Christ we celebrate
His coming is the reason
Everyone around the world
Welcomes Christmas season!
This Very Night
About three years ago, Big Bear and I were talking about Christmas carols and lamenting the fact that so many of them, including several that were our favorites, were inspired by a spirit of anti-Christian subversion. Many secular carols, including a number of genuinely great songs such as Winter Wonderland and White Christmas, were written and pushed by Hollywood with the specific intention of replacing the traditional Christmas carols that are focused on the Christian purpose of the holy day, or “holiday” as we know it now.
I mean, Silver Bells has always been a particular favorite of mine since childhood, and yet, it’s essentially a song about an urban shopping experience. It’s not exactly The Messiah or Adeste Fideles.
I made a few desultory efforts at penning something, but never really got around to doing anything with it until recently. But now that AI music has added turbo warp speed to one’s compositional capabilities, I was able to finish a Christmas carol entitled This Very Night, and since Vibe Patrol follows the Psykosonik tradition of producing at least five very different mixes of every single, two of them are already up on UATV for subscribers to hear and download. I’ll be making the other mixes and additional new carols available over the next three weeks. The Christmas Bear mix is, of course, for the Bears, toe express my appreciation for Big Bear and his tremendous community, hence the one line that would tend to strike anyone else as a bit, shall we say, prosaic.
Whiskey Dream (Wary Eyes)
A new song for UATV subscribers, one that’s well outside my preferred genres. This one is particularly interesting, I think, because I used AI to start the lyrics, then rewrote them from the basic structure and rhymes provided. There is one audio infelicity toward the end that I can’t fix at the moment, but I will address it when the relevant bug is sorted out. And yes, the last line of the chorus was indeed inspired by Yohami.
Give me a sign, give me just one glance
Tell me there might be a chance
Before you leave this place alone
Let’s make this whiskey dream our own
