I enjoy Christmas music

oh yeah that's right

Leslie Odom Jr has a new Christmas album that I am very much looking forward to devouring.

way to be secretive about it, guys.

I made a Christmas playlist last year. I generally dislike the 65,000 different covers of every Christmas song, but these are some of my favorites:

I couple of my favorite traditional songs:

Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas
Have a Holly Jolly Christmas (Burl Ives' original)
The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting Over an Open Fire)

Holy crap, that was beautiful. Took a turn I totally didn't see coming and it got me. I've listened like five times in a row now.

All Xmas music made after 1972 sucks.

I'm a pretty big sucker for She & Him's first Christmas record. But that may not be an argument to your statement.

I've been working on my "Xmas Mix" for years at this point. Maybe I should finish it now. I even collected some vinyl transfers of tracks that are hard to find in good quality (Bing Crosby, Feliz Navidad). It will be a smash.

I'd love to hear it once it's ready to go.

Someone sent me a transfer of the first pressing (1947?) of the original version of "White Christmas", which as far as I know has only been released on CD in bad quality with stereo echo and shit, because the original tape is lost. "Feliz Navidad" I couldn't find on CD in good quality either. Got that from a first pressing too. Also got some things from a 78/45 collector that don't appear to circulate (some Gene Autry metal parts, amongst other things). I'm trying to be methodical and careful about it, but I've gotten too lazy.

Dude, that sounds amazing. Hang in there!

I'd love to hear that mix too.

Here's another Christmas song that's just been knocking my socks off.



Man, I love everything HoneyHoney so much it's sickening.

I think Durden just B'd himself.

Is a year's time between post still "B'ing?" If so...
