Indie Christmas for the Kids or "T'was the Night Before Christmas was OK But the First Night Before Christmas Was Way Better"

You Know, Creating This Picture Made Sense at the Time . . .

I kept meaning to make a nice long mix of bearable christmas music that I could play at work. And I kept forgetting. Next year, next year. Anyhow, this is probably what it would have looked like. Some of this you'll have seen elsewhere, and some of it, you probably didn't. If you're looking for a one artist experience, I recommend buying Bright Eyes' Christmas album, downloading Snowden's free Licorice EP, or checking out Sufjan Steven's Christmas EPs.

Merry Christmas,
see you in a few days.

Thanks for stopping by one of my blogs, and commenting.
You must forgive me, I am stuck in the past.
Do you care to know why?
There has been very little music of the last 15 years that is noteworthy.
And any of it that is noteworty is country.
I'll tell you what is not noteworthy...it is...Rap????Slap????
My goldfish cringes when rap is played, it is trash.........pure unadultrated trash, and I am glad to say, the rap, slap, claptrap,crapstrapped industry...has not gotten one penny of my hard earned money.

Rock?....I still like rock and roll, but today the only real rockers are Country and Western groups....
and the best of the best is Darryl Worley.
Classical......well, it never went anywhere, it is still Godsent Music, and worthy of listening too.

Consise version of above:
I don't like new music because it isn't good, though I wouldn't know because I don't listen to new music.

Who could argue with that?
