"The shit apple doesn’t fall far from the tree, or at least not in this case. Catalina and the Mekares
Doo Christmas finds the lovely Catalina singing about horse cocks and Santa “coming down her chimney” in a manner that would make the drummer blush, and that drummer is none other than Murray Acton of Dayglo Abortions infamy. Bassist Mekare Acton is Murray’s daughter, so this album is very much a family affair. Not only do Mekare and Murray share the same initials, but they also possess an affinity for potty mouthed language calculated to offend all but the most vile punk rockers. Mekare, however, wants us to know she wrote this when she was sixteen and has matured since then. Her father not so much.

“The Ice Man” is a cheerful little jingle about Baby Moses freezing in the river, which differs somewhat from the traditional version of events. “He died because his parents were irresponsible,” sings Catalina, unafraid to point fingers. “Donner the Forgotten Reindeer” is another delightful ditty explaining how Donner became separated from his mates and left to die in the snow. While “Mission of Horse Cock” is mostly about Santa’s inability to get laid, Mekare seems to have composed “The Christmas Anthem” in the bath tub gooned out her mind on fortified wine and generic Seconal. Instead of singing actual lyrics, Catalina merely repeats the song title over and over to hypnotic effect. If Xmas isn’t your thing, then this album will be.

The music itself consists of Catalina’s deranged acoustic guitar spliced with oddly melodic bass and drum passages. Lyrically, this is not something you want to throw on when the kids are crowded around the tree, as the Mekares seem to have a cynical view of Christmas. They do, however, advise listeners to “wrap it or get gonorrhea and syphilis for Xmas.” Let it not be said that the Mekares do not carry a social message. The recording is clean enough to hear the hilariously awful lyrics in all their disgusting glory. Honestly, this shit is so funny you’ll spew eggnog from your nose." - Chris Walter
