WFMU in Chicago? Didn't that used to be a classical music station? Oh no wait, that's WFMT.

Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Dog is my co-pilot.
"All I Want To Do Is Shag For Christmas" by The BellRays = Best. Christmas. Song. Ever.
No, that would be "Christmas, Baby Please Come Home" by Darlene Love. I missed her Christmas show this year. So sad. I heard she had Cissy Houston singing "Oh Holy Night" again. Oh my!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
A whole shitload of Christmas music from WFMU: [link]
Too late for Jon, but they have a version of "The Little Drummer Boy" - by the Jingle Cats. I like how that song is classified (along with Klaus Nomi's "Silent Night") under "Experimental." It has sitar! And, um, dogs.

My sister and I played the Jingle Cats CD first when we got home with the tree every year. This year she moved out and I kind of miss the Jingle Cats.

Am now listening to the Jingle Cats doing "Oh Holy Night." I didn't notice it at first because WFMU has it listed under "Dance."
My mom got me a Jingle Cats cassette. I played it for my siblings once or twice. My mom also has the Jingle Cats VHS tape. Amazing special effects!

Also from WFMU (same link) , check out "Coldest Night of the Year" by Vashti Bunyan if you're into her at all. (And even if you're not - if you find her voice annoying, it's much less so on this song.)
eta: I don't know who she's singing with on this one....

More WFMU, non-Jingle-Cat-related music stuff: On their recommendation I downloaded Strawberry Jam by Animal Collective. If you like Animal Collective you'll probably like this (I love it). If you're not familiar with Animal Collective you could start with this, or maybe Here Comes the Indian. eMusic describes Animal Collective's music as
...captivating, occasionally frustrating releases exploring the fringes and intersecting boundaries of folk, noise rock, ambient drone, twisted psychedelia, and, ultimately, pure melody.
Me, I'm all about the "twisted psychedelia", although those other things are nice too.
I think all their stuff is available on eMusic, except for Strawberry Jam, which I had to get from iTunes.

I'm glad you like Strawberry Jam, Tommy. I hope you check out Feels and Sung Tongs next, because I like both even better than SJ or Here Comes The Indian.
