dj BC Presents: The Beastles' Christmas Jingle "A WONDERFUL CHRISTMAS CARD TO NYC" (Plus, 12 Days of Stocking Stuffers 2018)
Last we heard from dj BC, we were posting about the re-release of his MENORAH MASHUPS: crazy chanukah mixes & mashups (a dj BC compilation) just in time for Hanukkah. Now, a few days before Christmas, @realdjbc posted "Get it while it's cracklin' like fire..." on his Instagram page, along with a mysterious link to TheBeastles.com. When clicking on the image that reads, "A WONDERFUL CHRISTMAS CARD TO NYC," a song of the same name plays, attributed to The Beastles—dj BC's infamous Beastie Boys/Beatles "super-group"—seamlessly blending together The Beasties' "A Letter to NYC" and Paul McCartney & Wings' "Wonderful Christmastime." This isn't, however, the first time dj BC has juxtaposed The Beatles & Beastie Boys' music together, as he has previously released collections entitled dj BC Presents: The Beastles, Let It Beast, and ILL COMMUNICATION, as well as a single entitled "2 Many Beastles."
dj BC says the concept behind "A WONDERFUL CHRISTMAS CARD TO NYC" was loosely based on The Fab Four's beloved series of fan club Christmas singles sent out between 1963-69 and later, compiled and re-released a From Then to You in The UK and The Beatles' Christmas Album here in The States. Also, this isn't exactly dj BC's first time tinkering with festive jingles, as he has previously released SANTASTIC Vol. 1-9, a very Re:Composition Christmas, A VERY dj BC CHRISTMAS, and "Wicked Hardcore Christmas" with Boston cohorts Big D & The Kids Table. All of the aforementioned Christmas compilations, as well as MENORAH MASHUPS: crazy chanukah mixes & mashups, are currently available to stream or download from his Christmash.com site. It sounds like dj BC has plans to "reunite" The Beastles for a "short X-mas EP," but that will have to wait until next year... Happy Holidays from The Witzard and a Festivus for the rest of us!!!
