From Montreal-based MC and #DK11 alum, Jai Nitai Lotus, a lttle holiday-themed music:
My people,
I was asked by George Stromboulopoulos if I wanted to produce a song for his holiday show on CBC radio 2 (The Strombo Show). After feeling conflicted I ended up making this song “Greetings of Peace” talking about real issues (first nations water, imprisonment, etc) in spirit of holidays and peace. He really loved it and aired it on the 20th as part of his special. But now it’s open for the world to hear. I attached it below. It’s about challenging the listener which I feel is very important as artist.
Much love!

I watched the latest Bond flick, SPECTRE a couple nights ago with my dad. I thought the quality cast was wasted on a mediocre film whose plot was far too incredulous for me to suspend my belief, even for a Bond flick. I’m not sure using this superior unreleased theme instead of the generic-ass one they picked by the way overrated Sam Smith could have saved it for me.
Happy Holidays, y’all!
Per Phoenix‘s Soundcloud page:
Phoenix release “Alone on Christmas Day”, a cover of a long-lost Beach Boys holiday track from 1979 that was never formally released. Phoenix’s version features a little help from Bill Murray, Jason Schwartzman, former “Letterman” musical director Paul Shaffer, and New York Dolls’ David Johansen, and appears in the Netflix original holiday special, A Very Murray Christmas, directed by Sofia Coppola. All profits from the song will go to UNICEF.
