Christmas Music
So, I love good Christmas music. Unfortunately it is harder hand harder to find good (or contemporary) Christmas music. I just heard Avril Lavigne try to sing O Holy Night and falling flat on the ground, lacking any dynamic range needed for O Holy Night.
In order to help spread good Christmas music, here are links to sites who have put together good Christmas music mixes. More will be added if I find them or if people point me to them.
- Acts of Volition Radio Christmas: Session 17:
- Crash Test Dummies - The First Noel
- Smashing Pumpkins - Christmastime
- Low - Long Way Around the Sea
- Barenaked Ladies (with Sarah McLauchlan) - God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen
- Wintersleep - We Three Kings
- Very Rare Holiday Album
- Welcome Christmas (Reprise) - Grinch Who Stole Christmas
- Frosty The Snowman - Cocteau Twins
- Chanukah Funk - Beck
- Silent Night - Al Green
- White Christmas - Axl Rose
- Blue Christmas - Porky Pig
- Holy Shit, It's Christmas - Red Peters
- Feliz Navidad - Jose Feliciano
- We Wish You A Merry Christmas - The Ventures
- I Farted On Santa's Lap - Little Stinkers
- White Christmas - Goldfinger
- The Chanukah Song (live) - Adam Sandler
Synopsis: Jason Zada tries to combine good holiday songs with trite or joke songs. It works - sort of - but I found I was fast forwarding more often through tracks such as I Farted On Santa's Lap, among others. The mix is bookended by perennial favorites by Vince Guaraldi (A Charlie Brown Christmas) and Adam Sandler.
