True music industry professionals know the real money is in Christmas music.  That's why everyone from Elvis to Pokemon has released an Xmas album.

So above, check out a new Christmas song from a young British holiday entrepreneur.  (If you say "holiday entrepreneur" in a proper British accent, it's actually an alliteration.)

He's charging 99 cents per download on his website for this tune and I think he's going to make a fortune.

First, part of the holiday spirit is the spirit of giving.  Charities tend to go into overdrive for Christmas, and it's definitely charity to give this kid money for his singing.  Way to tap into that market, buddy.

Second, holiday depression is a major issue for a lot of people. Watching this music video will instantly remind them that their lives are not as bad as they could be.  And trust me, 99 cents is a lot cheaper than a handle of Wild Turkey.

Lastly, Jesus died for our sins.  (Well, your sins.  I could care less.)  And it is definitely a sin to think all the rude things you're thinking about this kid.  99 cents should be enough to clear your conscience and keep you off the naughty list.

And what?  You think you could write a better Christmas song??  I doubt it!

Wake up, everyone!  It's Christmas!

Who says America can't learn anything from the Chinese?! The Chinese Military Online English Edition offers free MP3 downloads on their website!

How can you resist classic songs like "Sing in Praise of our Motherland" (orchestra edition!!!)?  Or the smash hit "Workers, Peasants and Soldiers, Unite"?  (You only get the chorus on this one though.  If you want the full orchestrated version, you're gonna have to hit up iTunes.  Sorry.)

It's time to rock out with these 20 classics!  This is totally retro!  Where are the hipsters?!
