While I might be an ornery old man on the regular, there's something about the holiday season that warms my heart... or maybe that's the Jack and coke(s). Whatever the case may be, nothing makes the season brighter than holiday-themed beats, and no one does it better than Bird Peterson. On December 14, he'll be performing a live rendition of his Bird Peterson Holiday Spectacular at The Ritz Theater in Austin. You may remember this set; it debuted on Mad Decent four years ago and features holiday cheer from a number of your favorite DJs, including Diplo, Nick Catchdubs, and Dave Nada. For 2014, Bird's gone back into this mix with not only a slew of new special guests, but with some new tunes to boot. He calls it "Dilla's Donuts meets Christmas," which is probably the best thing I could imagine for my (drunken) holiday party.
