Patrick Donohue is the proudest Indiana native you're likely to find. Seriously. No one is prouder to be from a state that so many people know relatively so little about than he is. Patrick is a native of Terre Haute and a graduate of the Ernie Pyle School of Journalism at Indiana University. Knowing this, you might think he’d be a huge John "Cougar" Mellencamp fan, a man considered by some to be the Hoosier State's poet laureate. But you'd be wrong. In a major way. | Who doesn't love the old classics?
Bing doing "White Christmas." Nat King Cole singing about the dangers of frostbite and chestnuts and the varied ways to roast them. Those songs invoke a familiar warmth and nostalgia that have made them holiday stalwarts but every once in a while it's nice to mix it up.
And while I, too, love those songs, I never tire of hearing a fresh take on an old Christmas classic or, rare as they may be, a fun, new original.
Today's song, "Christmas Isn't Christmas" by The Boy Least Like To, is certainly the latter.
