Holiday Music
« on: December 04, 2009, 04:49:17 pm »
What are some of your favorite holiday recordings?

I'm a huge fan of Eurythmics' "Winter Wonderland" and Bon Jovi's "Please Come Home for Christmas."

Also: "Santa Claus and His Old Lady" (Cheech and Chong) and the perennial favorite, "Alice's Restaurant."

My roommate 2nd year listened to Alice's Restaurant once. I'd never heard it before or since and I'm perfectly happy with this arrangement.

I usually listen to Christmas Wrapping by The Waitresses once or twice in December.

I listen to Santa's Beard by TMBG whenever so that's not really holiday music.

I hate them all except for Nat King Cole.  "The Christmas Song" and "O Holy Night" FTW.  (when did I become 75 years old?)

Also, the biggest fuck*ng fail ever belongs to Dominic the Christmas Donkey.  Watch only if you want to rip your own eardrums out by their roots.

"Merry Christmas From The Family" by Robert Earl Keen is every bit the drunken romp that the title implies.

Love him or hate him, Sufjan Stevens' Christmas box set is pretty unbeatable.  Funky takes on old standards, plus new material that's alternately haunting and joyous.

giraffebone's "Slick Nick You Devil You" is my favorite.  Also partial to Death Cab's version of "Christmas Baby Please Come Home."

Aimee Mann's album "One More Drifter In the Snow" is my Christmas cd this year. Specifically "Calling On Mary". Also I have depression.

A Christmas Gift for You from Phil Spector is still the only really good Christmas album I've ever heard, though David Bowie and Bing Crosby's "Little Drummer Boy" and, of course, Jingle Cats bear mention.

David Bowie and Bing Crosby's "Little Drummer Boy"

Aaargh, I'm mad at myself for forgetting that one.  It's a beautiful song.  Does anyone else get the feeling that Bing was staring at this androgynous mod wondering what the hell the world was coming to?

I just downloaded a duet between Wyclef Jean and Stevie Wonder singing "Merry Christmas, Baby."

Epic.
