(Good) Holiday Music Mixes

[zanjam]

Might not be everyone's cup of tea but I think it's fucking hilarious:

Holy Shit, It's Christmas



And then there is this little masterpiece:

John McCauley might not like Christmas, but he likes Christmas songs.

[Jaimoe]

Love the version by Elvis, but nothing tops the original:


CHUCK BERRY Merry Christmas Baby

[Shug]

How 'bout a Chuck Berry cover by one of his main protoges?

Keith Richards - Run Rudolph Run

[Jaimoe]

Unless the bubblegummer pop kids and cheeseball jazz artists start doing it, I haven't heard a bad "Merry Christmas Baby".

[LD]

Love the version by Elvis, but nothing tops the original:


CHUCK BERRY Merry Christmas Baby

Both great versions, but my ears and eyes favor EP!

My favorite semi-traditional Xmas songs are Feliz Navidad and Mele Kalikimaka.  I am not sure what this says about my overall enthusiasm for the holiday (which at this point is admittedly near rock bottom), but I don't speak Spanish.  I do however love Hawaii...

From my absolutely favourite Christmas album: Low, Christmas. Played this in my office way back when and was told by everyone in the room that is was the most depressing thing anyone had ever heard, ever. They threatened a mass suicide if I didn't take it off.

Oddly, it doesn't sound depressing to me at all. Particularly this track.

And to think I call myself a proud syrup-sucking Canadian hoser. The greatest - and one of the funniest - Christmas songs of them all, by two of the greatest Canadians, SCTV's Bob and Doug McKenzie (skip to the 46 second mark):


Bob and Doug ~ 12 Days Of Christmas

And a beer, in a tree.

Sorry to hijack but you can't post Bob and Doug McKenzie without also acknowledging Great White North.  TAKE OFF.  You hoser.

Love the Matt Pond PA's cover of this song:

Matt Pond PA - Holiday Road (Lindsey Buckingham)

I know you are American and I'm a married hoser, but I want to marry you.

I have that effect on people, when I bust out SCTV/Geddy Lee mashups.

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer - The Temptations

Its just too funky to pass up!

[oistheone]

Everyone needs to get their hands on the Ventures Christmas Album right now. Wow.


Ventures Blue Christmas

[FiddleCastro]

Because I'm me...

[Fully]

Because I'm me...

http://youtu.be/LWw4BB9bRP8

That looks like it would be a really good album just judging by who's listed on the front cover.

[e_wind]

The Indie Xmas comp that was just posted at consequence of sound is pretty hilarious

[oistheone]

Third Man posted this song the other day, and simply put, it floored me. One of the best Christmas songs I've ever heard, and a worthy year-round listen. Can't believe I'd never heard of these guys before.

Reigning Sound- If Christmas Can't Bring You Home

It is really good, LOVE this track:

I don't think this song has been mentioned yet.  In my opinion the best Christmas song ever.  The video is worth checkout if for no other reason than to see Shane McGowan's teeth.

The Pogues and Kirsty MacColl - Fairytale of New York

Zoey is the sexiest white chick celebrity out there now. Talk about the girl next door. A great comedic actress, and a beautiful singer. The last 2 World Series she delivered the best renditions of the Star Spangled Banner I have ever hear. She sings it in her style, but remains true to the song, and refrains from "Mariah Carrying" it up.
