"Straight from the chaotic mastermind of one supremely disturbed individual comes a free download that you can slip into your holiday playlist to spice things up a little. That's right, Geoff Westen has done it again. This time, he's released a delightfully twisted track of blissful dissonance derived from smashing together rock, pop, a splash of jazz, a smattering of hip-hop, and whatever else was within reach to create an urgent hodgepodge version of "Jingle Bells." As an added benefit, if you crank this track up really loud, your neighbors will be too afraid of your mental well-being to criticize you for decorating your house in a Griswold-inspired Christmas lights extravaganza!

The free track — well you do have to trade your email to get it — fairly accurately captures the hurried insanity of the holidays. It is an out-o-breath anthem that carries all the frenzy of a Black Friday excursion to the mall with your out-of-state in-laws who just happened to have dropped by for a surprise visit on Thanksgiving. The song should come with the same caution that you find at amusement parks: "This track is not meant for individuals with a heart condition, those who have been diagnosed with high blood pressure, or people who are easily agitated." It will push you over the edge!

According to his bio, Westen is a creator who tempers his artistry with a dash of "cynicism and obsession." His latest release is I'm Not Crazy (Disturbing Music) — though, if you constantly have to tell people you're not crazy, chances are, you just might be! His music is "designed to excite your aural neurons and invigorate your cerebral cortex."

In 2006, Hybrid Magazine named Geoff's album, The Pigs: Oink!, as one of their "up and coming favorites." And, his current offering has allegedly been endorsed by the Claus, himself: You've never heard it done like this. A perfect add to your Christmas playlist."

Whether you believe that last tidbit or not is immaterial, the important thing is Westen has a reputation. In fact critics have stated "it doesn't matter what kind of music he takes on, he beats the crap out of it. You know it's his music and he owns it!"

Don't question it, just download it. And, if you like what you hear, check out Geoff Westen's Digital Activity XMAS VOL. 1 on sites like Spotify and CD Baby. All kidding aside, it's a wonderful compliment to the most cherished season of the year."
