Two weeks from our bleak midwinter, Big Freedia is coming through for y'all. New Orleans' Queen of Bounce has just released an EP titled A Very Big Freedia Christmazz, and it serves up the booty-shakin' holiday cheer we all need. It includes the requisite covers — "'Twas The Night" and "Jingle Bell Rock" — rendered ridiculous and glorious, plus two originals ("So Frosty" and "Santa Is A Gay Man").
