The main Christmas channe on Pandora (yes, I know, Pandora) cycles through MAYBE 20 songs. It gets old real quick.

And damn I love that Waittresses song.

I thought this was the 4th of July

[7 Years and Maybe Longer]

Just got a copy of Dark Mark Does Christmas 2020. Sitting by the fire listening to Mark Lanegan sing bleak Christmas songs, including one going back to the 15th century, feels like an appropriate way to wrap up 2020. He sounds great on this.

Here is a review I came across that sums it up nicely:

Here is my "audiophile" Christmas Mix again, in both FLAC and MP3.

It was most recently updated last year.

Specifically, the following tracks are huge upgrades to anything circulating on an official digital release...
02 Bing Crosby - White Christmas
03 Gene Autry - Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer
07 Jose Feliciano - Feliz Navidad

These are long unavailable in the stereo mixes heard here...
05 The Ronettes - Sleigh Ride
20 Darlene Love - Marshmallow World

And this is remixed from the 3-track master but is only available on an SACD surround layer...
08 Nat King Cole - The Christmas Song

You have listed 60% of all Christmas songs in recorded history. They really start to get repetitive after like 2 hours of December.
