I just listened to John Denver and the Muppets' "A Christmas Together." Hands down my favorite holiday album. Besides the obvious nostagia factor, there are some really lovely songs on there that one doesn't really hear elsewhere.
Yes! It's my favorite holiday album, too.
I borrowed heavily from Wintergrace for a nice/religious mix I made for my parents this year -- thanks, David!
I also love the Roches.
We are partial to Leon Redbone's "Island Christmas."
I'll be playing four hours of Xmas music on the radio this Friday, 8am to Noon!
You, or will Santa Claus be sitting in for you?
I'm in negotiations with Claus right now. Bastard is holding out for more money (& frankincense & myrrh).

Does J still work there?
Tom, I'm listening to the weird Xmas songs right now and it's, uh, interesting.
Does J still work there?
Hmm, I don't know! I don't know the names of any of the people there; we've only been a few times so far. (Should I know who J is?)
(Should I know who J is?)
Eh, I'll email you. Too complicated without naming names.
Kathy, I haven't heard Setzer's version. I should check that out. Duke Ellington does a swing version of the Nutcracker too, but I actually prefer the Shorty Rogers.
thanks, David!
You're welcome! I'll just note that mix is available on Buffistarawk. Also my Power Pop xmas mix.
