For many years, the fine folks at Astrobase Go (Jackson Publick & Doc Hammer) have been providing FRED with exclusive holiday singles.
Will there be a new one this year?
Well, that would be telling.
However, there are still some of you out there who haven’t heard all of the tracks from previous years. So let’s rectify that. Below, you’ll find all of our exclusive VENTURE BROS. holiday tunes.
And who knows? Maybe there will be a surprise at the end…
If you dig what you hear (or just enjoy the sheer goofiness of it all) and want to help keep the site going, please take a moment to DONATE. Your donation is immensely appreciated.
Or, you can…
But above all, HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

“Fairytale Of New York”2008 was a bittersweet affair, as Henchmen 21 & 24 sung a tune that was recorded in June of that year, to get it out of the way so they wouldn’t have to worry about it during their big vacation in Cancun. Sadly, there would never to be a “Henchmen Cancun ’08″…

Ah, but before we go, let’s dig into the vaults for a few more vintage goodies from Team Venture…
After the penultimate events depicted in “Trial of the Monarch” left the titular supervillain with a one way ticket to the hoosegow and the relationship with his beloved Dr. Girlfriend in shambles, the season finale found Team Venture on a course destined to bring only death, destruction, and questions aplenty.
Direct from our shadowy, barely legal network of sources and informants – Here are the actual recordings of the Monarch’s prison phone calls to Dr. Girlfriend and his henchmen.
Enjoy, you voyeuristic animals…

-music by Doc Hammer, lyrics by Doc Hammer & Jackson Publick IIIAnd finally, if you’ve purchased your copy of the complete first season on DVD, you’re aware that only about half the episodes have audio commentary from Jackson Publick and Doc Hammer.
Jackson & Doc sent over a “lost” audio commentary that didn’t make it on to the set, for episode 1×03 – “Home Insecurity”. The commentary was dropped for space issues on the set, as well as a minor technical glitch in the sound.
I’ve done my best to clean things up, and it’s well worth giving a listen…

WOW! Talk about under the radar. I thought I’d never see another VB Christmas Song. Xmas is well pack away for another year, but I got one last gift to open. Thank you ever so much Jason, Doc & Ken. Also just throwing this out there, I always thought Sgt. Hatred covering a rendition of ‘Snoopy’s Christmas’ by the Royal Guardsmen would sure be swell (Hint, Hint)

These are all great, but Fairytale of NY is the winner. Hunter gathers reading Junkies xmas/ The priest they called him was the runner up.
