Slicing Up Eyeballs’ Christmas Megamix 2017: Stream 4 hours of alternative holiday cheer

We’ve been a little, er, naughty this year when it comes to the promise of delivering a monthly Auto Reverse mixtape, so in order to get back in everyone’s good graces, we’re taking a  detour this month from the normal format — two 45-minute sides of music — to go really big for the holidays.

Now, we here at Slicing Up Eyeballs HQ have assembled Christmas-themed mixtapes in years past, but never to this scale. Below you’ll find a brand-new, 75-song mix of classic alternative acts performing old standards and holiday-themed originals (and sure, some that might be a just a bit of stretch).

That’s a whopping four hours of Christmas cheer, all streaming below via Mixcloud.

Oh, and a note for listeners: Though much of this mix features somewhat standard holiday fare, it’s not all entirely family friendly, and there is some adult language here and there.

And with that, enjoy…
