Modular People

As if the Modular Xmas Parties alone weren't bringing the holiday cheer by the sackful, we thought we'd make things even merrier by hosting a 'virtual Kris Kringle' between the parties' illustrious line up. The rules were simple - we plucked names from a Santa hat and informed each artist who'd they be spending a hypothetical $20. Jonathan Boulet, who has just released his first album, was the first gift-giver and he was given the task of buying the Bang Gang lads a present for under 20 clams, in addition to telling us some of his 2009 highlights.

Album of 2009: Converge - Axe to Fall

Song of 2009: The Middle East - "Blood"

Favourite Xmas Dish: Candy Breakfast

Favourite Xmas Song: Tom Waits - "Christmas Card from a Hooker in Minneapolis"
