Christmastime

Merry Christmas to Everyone!

It's been quite awhile since there were any new posts... all the usual excuses apply - too busy, not enough time, not enough new content, laziness, etc.

Nothing new to offer; but in the spirit of the season, I will offer up a repost - Christmas Music!
From last year's Christmas post... everything is still available, except for the Mojo Nixon music, sorry to say.

The lp rips will resume in January... and there may be some other surprises thrown in from time to time - I don't want to say exactly what just yet, though.

Take care - we'll meet again in 2008.

Bummer Xmas Mixes

For those of you who can't stand the saccharine sweetness of the Holidays, here's some alternative listening...

FESTIVUS '04
"A lump of coal for your Festivus sock"

1). Xmas Is For Mugs - Graham Parker
2). Back Door Santa - Clarence Carter
3). What Do The Lonely Do At Xmas? - The Emotion
4). 12 Days of Waffle House - The Waffle House Singers
5). Who Took The Merry Out of Xmas? - The Staples Singers
6). Merry Xmas From The Family - Robert Earl Keen

This compilation was a gift from the lovely and talented A.J. Michel of Syndicate Product, using Festivus as the focus of this tight little package of Grinchiness... it's become one of my favorites.

Thought I'd add a bonus - part II of a Millennium Christmas Tape mix I did a few years ago, Side B focusing on "Bummer Xmas" songs:
