The World is... turns the classic Christmas hymn known as "What Child Is This?" into a dark and dreary Christmas Eve nightmare.


Apparently they picked this song because the ICP Christmas song they originally wanted to cover was too hard to learn.

Song of the Day - Murmurer

Why? - Murmurer from Golden Ticket (2013)

Indie hoppers, Why? have a new EP out that they made exclusively for their biggest fans. Everyone can listen to it, of course, but if you are really their biggest fan then you just might have a song written about you! Yep, this EP is about their biggest fans. Literally.

Why? did some creeping around on the interwebs and found this one fan in particular who happens to call himself "Murmurer" on OKCupid.

I guess it's okay I didn't make the cut.
