Angelus ,'Smile Time'
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.
I like the Ann Margret/Brian Setzer version. I'm also a big fan of the BSO's cover of "The Nutcracker Suite," the Nelson Riddle arranged version, which is on the same album.
I just saw this over at Crooks and Liars--a YouTube of "Come Together" sung by Cassandra Wilson and Diane Reeves. Really great!!

I really love Shorty Rogers jazz arrangement of the Nutcracker. It's sooooo fuckin' cool. I should post a few of those tracks. It's straight up West Coast Jazz so it sounds very compatible next to Vince Guaraldi.
I think we lost our Jingle Cats CD in the move.
Perhaps "lost" is the word. Either way, I couldn't find it and we don't appear to have the ripped version. It's like Paul performed a sneaky Jingle Catectomy on the music collection.
It's available on iTunes, Plei.
I can hook you up.
Cool
I've got so much Christmas music that I long ago got tired of hearing different takes on standards and have focused on finding new Christmas songs that are good.
I really only like carols. I'm interested in modern things like the Gorillaz parody, but I generally don't like songs about Santa, Frosty, or really anything that's not about, you know, Jesus. It's not for nothing that I've isolated all my Santa songs in one mix called "Santa Makes the Baby Jesus Cry". Which is odd for a secularist, but I suppose inevitable given that my parents never pretended there was a Santa.
Dean Martin, dude. He wins.
This x 10.
But I own it, Sue! Or should! Repurchasing the bad things is bad! (It actually *is* Paul's, not mine. Despite him being the purger.)

This is mostly me. With the addition of melancholy stuff from the 1940s. But the preschooler, she loves the Frosty and the Jingle and the lot.
Yup. An Atheist here who loves the Jesus carols. Go figure. I also love the Adam Sandler Hannukah song.
You all are the first to know, I'm marrying Patrick Stump.
I think there's quite a few people in that line in front of you...
Mommmmmmm, Trudy's bogarting all the Stump!
