Harvey danger sometimes you have to work on christmas sometimes


Sometimes You Have to Work on Christmas (Sometimes) is an EP that was released by Harvey Danger in December 2004 on the band's own label, Phonographic Records. One of the songs is a demo from their next album, Little By Little..., two are different recordings of past songs, and the remaining two are rare songs, released only on special collections in the past.

The title song was originally recorded for Santa's Swingin' Sack, a 1998 CD compiled by Kevin and Bean, a disc jockey team for Los Angeles rock station KROQ.

Though as of mid-2005, this EP was out of print, the band re-released it for the 2005 holiday season.
