EIGHT THINGS

3.SHEARER MADNESS
If endless reps of "Deck the Halls" make you want to staple your hand to a wall, Harry Shearer and Judith Owen's holiday sing-along offers a humble antidote. Between voicing "Simpsons" characters and hosting his weekly KCRW radio show, Shearer somehow finds time to make music with his wife. With help from surprise guests, the pair will perform holiday tunes both traditional and irreverent. Nothing says Christmas like satire.
